Good product, I recommend that you try it.

Not a horrible gamepad overall, though not without issues.
For example, on the bottom, which is severely deficient in three games that do not allow the gamepad and adaptive settings, I would want at least two extra buttons for the money; Although tactile is not horrible, you can work on the texture and plastic to make it more comfortable and stop creaking for a month; As a consumer, I would want to see more reliable sticks, especially since there is a solution, but of course it costs other money, so it's not a minus writing; - There are numerous confirmed incidents of sticks drifting after some time, and it is obvious that this is how they cause obsolescence. I'd like to see some sort of kit, but with a battery rather than two packs of batteries;

Pros

- Convenience, fits in the hand like a glove, is really enjoyable to use, and everything clicks and presses in a pleasant manner; - USB-C for connection to a console, PC, or other device and charging (where a branded battery is present or a substitute equivalent); - Battery or batteries (you can insert an AA battery or a rechargeable battery directly from the built-in Type, according on your preference); - A reliable Bluetooth or cable connection; - Everything is clear and succinct, and it has a stylish appearance without any extraneous design elements that serve questionable purposes.

Cons

- Vibration is basic and does not function in many PC games; where it does, only motors in the handles are involved, and motors in triggers are not used at all. Price is pricey compared to DualSanse, of course, and the design is quite plain, with only 2 batteries included and nothing else. - Nothing can be changed in the proprietary software, there are no settings on the PC, and the vibration from the handles cannot be assigned to triggers or anything similar. It is completely empty. - Not happy about the creaking that started in the hands a month later; the box button that wants to burn out your eyes in the dark but won't turn off in the settings; Lack of accelerometer! Yes, exactly! Damn, DualSanse already has it, but not here! Even headphones now have accelerometers, yet we're still in the year 202! It is obvious that the majority of PC games would probably not support it, but many projects and emulators would benefit greatly from it! Older Bluetooth didn't support multipoint, but today many headphones have. This feature makes it possible to move between two devices without having to reset or turn off the device, which is quite useful if you play games simultaneously on a phone, PC, and XBox; The gamepad features a 3.5 mm jack, but there is no sound over bluetooth. However, it only functions when the gamepad is connected to the computer via USB; otherwise, when it is connected via Bluetooth, the sound from the gamepad is played through the computer or phone's speakers, defeating the purpose of having a jack for both a PC and a mobile phone.
