Yes, in general, these controllers are from the evil one. I bought this one just for fun. Playing a shooter on them is not very convenient. Very, very inconvenient. We have to specifically select games where lightning-fast aiming in several planes is not required. In general, for arcanoids, dooms and pacmans they are . well, for games in the same plane. I had to download the old DOOM, there is no need to aim too hard. I would not buy a second time, knowing the current operating experience. _______________ ps A strongly smelling wire (not only it) is a sign of a fake I have the original and it doesn't smell.
