Review on ๐ŸŽฎ SHAKS S5b Wireless Gamepad Controller - Best for Android, Windows, iOS, X-Cloud, Stadia, Geforce & iPhone XS Max by John Salleh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too expensive for controllers

First the pros. All of the face buttons have a nice feel, and the D-pad feels pretty good. In games with gamepad support it works without problems. However, there are far more disadvantages than advantages. First, the overall build quality is pretty poor. The pieces fit together and there are huge, ugly seams all over the place. Another thing I absolutely hate is that the triggers don't have a click, making them spongy and awful. The whole thing folds up pretty easily with my phone inside and feels pretty flimsy. The fact that I have to unpair and then restore it to switch between Android mode and display mode seems to be overlooked. While the display mode is a good idea on paper, it doesn't work very well. I tried it out mostly in Genshin Strike as it was a game I bought to play mostly and I can't get the right joystick for camera controls in my whole life. All in all a big disappointment. If they sold it for $25 or $30 I would feel better. However, they seem to actively support it, which earns them another star. Let's hope the display mode issues get fixed.

Pros
  • Gaming accessories
Cons
  • Some difficulties
