Review on ๐ŸŽฎ iPega-PG-9083S Wireless Phone Joystick Game Controller for Samsung/Huawei Android Smartphones & Tablets (Android 6.0+) by Daniel Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Love the life my Fire HD 8 brings!

I am very impressed with this controller. I use it with the Revain Fire HD 8 to play mostly retro games and it does the job well. Connects easily to the tablet and holds it very well (I even have a flip case on the tablet and it still fits). One caveat I'd like to emphasize is knowing where the power and volume up buttons are on any device you plan to use this with. Problems can arise if they are on pages that are compressed by the controller. I toned it down in the Fire tab by leaving the case on (which gives me about a millimeter of button height). The battery life is excellent. But there's no clear indication of remaining juice until you plug it in to charge. I also see a lot of people complaining about stock dead zones. That might be a problem for some, but I hardly notice it. And some programs let you adjust the dead zones in the software, so I would sweat too much. All in all, this is a solid controller with comfortable buttons that suits my needs perfectly. I would recommend it immediately!

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
