a stable buy, no rose garden though. DONT GO WITH NYKO, CHEAP FOR A REASON.
Reliable, the viaplay app actually works, unlike that nyko crap or any other off brand remote. Im sure there is a better one but the first one (nyko) did not work at all and couldnt be updated, this is good to, practically out of the box. The ONLY reason this loses a star is because of the manufacturer. The joysticks will come off if you do not glue them on (easy thing to do) and they spin for some reason, which isnt that big of a deal, unless you're trying to kill a hoard of zombies. But I dont regret the buy, just if you choose this, get a nice new bottle of superglue if you're gunna keep it in a back pack w/ a bunch of other stuff to keep those joysticks on, nothing you can do about the spin, then you're good. Ill probably buy another one to see if theres something better one of these days, but this is compact, mostly comfortable, and that clip on holder is cool too, dont need it though.

other than one of the analog knobs comes off easily, frequently anytime it's in my pocket
No major complaints, other than one of the analog knobs comes off easily, frequently anytime it's in my pocket. Have almost lost that tiny part several times.Overall, best Bluetooth gamepad for the price and effort.

Really DISAPPOINTED its too small in the hands
I BOUGHT This believing it was the bigger black Controller from the picture it turns out it's the smaller white one in black.Really DISAPPOINTED its too small in the hands. The short sticks have a pad on top of them that keeps coming off. Their is an app on the play store that let's you remap your Controller but you need a rooted device and even then I couldn't get it to work on my older rooted nexus 7. All and all it will play some games that are compatible with it out of the box but you won't be able to remap your buttons.

Only lasted 1 week
I don't know if i received a defective unit but piece of junk only lasted a week. Literally only used it 4 times and now it wont even hold a charge. The joysticks are terrible too because they spin whenever you press any direction.

cheap
Didn't work with iPad ios 7. Power button didn't turn it off. All it did when paired was turn off the touchscreen keyboard. No games detected this controller. I went through the steps holding down the select button and sliding the button to put it in gamepad mode. I contacted viaplay. Returned it to Amazon at my cost.

Analog Nubs Suck, Otherwise Pretty Good
I hadn't really heard of this company while I was shopping for controllers for my tablet, but the controller looked good and the few reviews I read were all positive, so I gave this a gamble. The controller is pretty much what I expected from the reviews. It's a very decen, responsive controller. It's mostly well built and solid. It syncs with the bluetooth pretty much flawlessly.Although I do occasionally have to turn the bluetooth off and back on for my tablet, but i'm pretty sure tthat's an issue with the tablet, not the controller. So far, I've only had issues with a N64 emulator for compatability and that's probably from the emulator. When the controller shuts down from lack of use, it usually just takes pressing any button to start it back up. It resuncs with the tablet automatically. There's really only three issues I have with this controller. 1: there are no analog buttons (L3 & R3 on PS & XBox). This causes some issues in games. 2:the quality of the analog nubs isn't very good. They come off easily and spin freely 3: the small size of the controller, while great for travel, makes gaming uncomfortable for long periods of time. I have average size hands and they will cramp up occasionally from more than 20 minutes of playing certain games. None of these flaws are deal-breakers. I still recommend this controller, but they are worth keeping in mind before you buy one.Update: A couple things I'd like to add after purchasing a larger bluetooth controller. First off, this controller has, in my opinion, the best d-pad I've ever used. Foregoing the traditional cross-style d-pad, this has a more rounded design as you can see from the picture. This makes gaming with the d-pad va much more comfortable thing. Second, those analog nubs make precision nearly impossible. General movementis alright, but anythung requiring even slight precision is far more difficult than it needs to be. Sometimes impossible. There's just no substitute for real analog sticks. I still stand by my recommendation, especially if you're looking for a small, travel-friendly controller. Just keep in mind, there are better, larger cintrollers comparitively priced. Both MOGA and IPega have controllers I feel handle better in a similar price range.
