it does the basics well but it is over engineered. a basic ui that shows the apps installed on my machine is all that's needed. they did that part. It's everything else that becomes a problem. the home menu should show me my games. I shouldn't need to "discover fortnite" if I wanted fortnite, it would be on my damn phone wouldn't it?if it's not on the phones storage. it doesn't need a tile. this is a main menu not an app store it seems you have conflated the two.

This thing is THE accessory for your inner child. I can play mobile games like CoD Mobile, I can play anything on Steam, I can play anything on Xbox, plus anything on Playstation, even emulators and certain other things you wouldn't expect to work, games that seem like they shouldn't have controls at all mobile or on PC, anywhere you have signal. It's turned my phone into any console, and has surpassed my expectations. I don't even work for you and I am always recommending your product, hire me?

best mobile controller. I got the pro after having several of the regular models I like it a little better as far as functionality goes but what got me was that if you buy their subscription they extend the warranty for life or as long as you keep your subscription paid im guessing. I am going to wait until almost a year until the manufacturer warranty ends and see if I have any problems before then and also see how it goes if so. Will update.
