Review on 🎮 ZD-V+ USB Wired Gaming Controller Gamepad for PC/Laptop Computer Windows XP/7/8/10 & PS3 & Android & Steam - Black by Robert Oner

I'm torn about this controller. He has many good qualities, but almost as many flaws are holding him back. Advantages: Robust construction. Nothing rattles around that shouldn't like some of the cheap controllers I've used, and the vibration feels solid too. - Cozy. It feels like the controller should, and there aren't any odd details to irritate your fingers. The body plastic is silky smooth and the rubber grips on the analog sticks are perfect. Nice design. While it doesn't look as good as it actually is, you can tell they tried. Small embellishments and silver accents make it look way better than many other comparable products. The buttons on the face are great. The front panel D-Pad and buttons respond as expected, producing a pleasant click without being overly loud. They feel a bit stiffer than the licensed product, but you won't really notice this unless you're playing a fighting game. - Plug and play. I bought it to use with FFXIV and it worked great right out of the box. Drivers are not required. Cons: - Triggers and bumpers don't respond very well. You really have to hit them for them to work reliably, and I've found that even when I'm not stressing, they sometimes slip when I have to hold the click. Triggers for this are much worse than bumpers. - You're too damn shiny. A small note, perhaps, but the case's plastic is so shiny it looks cheap. I would really like to have them matte. Blinding light. The center activation indicator is so bright I sealed it with tape. It's normal during the day, but if you play with the lights off, it hits you straight in the eyes. hard cable. Maybe it will work out over time, but my cable is so rigid that it hasn't lost its bends during transport. It doesn't affect performance, but it's annoying. Also note that this is a VERY SHORT cable. Perfect for me and my laptop, but if you're playing remotely on a desktop or TV this isn't the best choice for you. EDIT After about a year and a half (November 2018 as of this writing, originally purchased May 2017) we are in deep trouble in Paradise. The trigger sticking got worse and worse over time (I was hoping that a bit of use would clear up the kinks, but it didn't) and I see a lot of duplicate registers from my clicks. This is most noticeable when scrolling through the menu. I squeeze and the thing goes to the side too. Also, my left analog stick lost almost all sensitivity. In games where walking is usually an option, it's now either run or nothing, no matter how gently the stick is squeezed or the sensitivity level. (And no, it's not the d-pad/analog stick switching. I had this problem too, but I fixed it.) Well, I wouldn't recommend this controller again unless you're desperate and REALLY want to shoot out more 20 bucks. It's not the worst I've ever used, but it definitely didn't have the staying power I was hoping for. I think there are better alternatives in this price range. Going forward, I'll stick with Logitech or Rock Candy when it comes to off-brand choices.
