With a 3D printed body, it's amazingly playable given its size.

I took someone else's 3D printed case as a basis and made a pretty neat case for this thing. To be honest everything works very well with this application! Having these elements on top to differentiate the buttons really makes it a very handy little gadget. I've had some trouble figuring out how to properly map the buttons to play Doom, which is unfortunate, but it's a problem on my part and nothing against the peripheral itself. Battery life for the Elements is pretty long and the size is…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • You could go for a newer model

Ideal for Pi Zero for Computer Components

Works great. I don't use it for gaming, I use it for remote access to another Pi with a camera. Buy a battery for it. I didn't and regretted it. Finally bought.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Useless Features

Easy setup of computer components

This is a pretty cool device and support is available on their website. I was able to install this on a Raspberry Pi Zero board, install Retropie and then install the driver from the device's website following the instructions in no time and with no issues. It's a handy little device to play with!

Pros
  • Single board computer
Cons
  • No power

Good Little Device - Single Board Computer

This is a good device for what it is. I suggest a 3D printed case to avoid short circuits. It works well in combination with a Pi Zero WH and is better when on a Pi 3a the extra CPU power helps

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Availability of Updates
