Pretty great
This is a great controller, save a couple of issues that didn't bother me too much. First off, I received a product that ended up kicking the can after a day, but I received a replacement next day, so it worked out great (and I'm not knocking any stars off for it, either). The product itself paired easily, has a pretty easy to use app (despite what others may say), which is updated super often (once a week, at the latest), and the buttons are all solid and feel good to use. The problems I have are that it has no L3/R3 buttons (which was a product killer for me), and that the 'z' and 'c' buttons that are on the right control surface are slightly messed up. They both work in the touch mode, but for some reason in the gamepad mode (the one I prefer), the 'c' button is linked to the home button on the left controller, so they both end up being bound to the same thing, meaning that you are left with either a home button, or pseudo-L3/R3 buttons (this is why I docked a star). On the up side, despite these 'z' and 'c' buttons being right next to other four buttons, I didn't end up hitting them on accident, so they worked pretty well for whatever I ended up binding them to.Also, now that I remember it, there was a problem with the touch mode not liking any portrait apps. The bubble that the app requires to be on screen to set bindings kept ending up offscreen in portrait apps, so you essentially end up not being able to use it for these. In landscape apps, though, it worked super well. You could easily set up the bindings as you were playing, unlike other apps that require you to switch to the binding app to set the buttons and then switch back to the game.These are my gripes, but the product itself is great for, like 99% of the apps out there that you could want to play (plus, I didn't even use touch mode all that often, it may completely fix some of these issues). I mostly played Retroarch, so the lack of a couple buttons didn't get to me, but once I started using Steam Link, then the lack of an L3/R3 and guide buttons became painfully obvious. The buttons are available on the controller, so it may just be a matter of time before the 'c' and guide buttons aren't linked together. Even if they are, though, I would still prefer it if these buttons were on the control sticks themselves, instead of off to the side (actually, I'd prefer both, lol).

Would be 5 stars if the sticks clicked.
This controller has me frustrated because I actually really liked it. Unfortunately the sticks can't be clicked making some games unplayable. I'd give 5 stars if this wasn't the case but since it is I will be returning this.

Not worth it
The quality feels cheaper than solid, it has no r3 and l3, its setting up is VERY complicated, and the L analogue doesn't work properly on accuracy... This purchase really let me down.

Absolutely amazing controller, throw away USB key
The good:-This fits perfectly on my Samsung Note 4 without a case on-It holds the phone extremely well, I shook it up and down and tried to knock the phone out and could not-It is extremely similar to a PS Vita for controller feel and layout-When compressed for travel, it's very small and portable-The buttons have a very satisfying mechanical feel to them.-No bluetooth lag, and I have many controllers that I have used which all lag by various brands. It likely helps that it's so close to the phone itself by design.-No dead zone or joystick issuesThe not-so-good:-You likely cannot use a case with this because there is a lip that overhangs on each side of the controller that go over the phone to hold it down from popping out. This isn't terrible, as it's extremely secure with the overhang holding it in place. But it's annoying to have to take the case off the phone every time I want to use this.-The joysticks are short like the PS Vita, which means that they have extremely limited travel distance. It's hard to get precise aim in shooters or other games because of this.-The L2 and R2 buttons, not triggers. So any racing game fans might be disappointed, but I don't mind for my use.The bad:-The instructions were only in Chinese. I was able to figure out how to use it after about 15 minutes of guessing which button was they pair button (left bottom), but they were no help.-The button mapper USB stick is extremely suspicious and I threw mine away. I highly recommend not putting something like that in your personal computer, as it asks you to disable your phone security and install an extremely sketchy app. The app is flagged by antivirus applications as a virus and makes the phones run hot. Look over the reviews here for people reporting it.Fun fact: It came in a Nintendo 3DS travel case with this company's logo on it. I know because I have one, and it even has the Nintendo game card storage divider in it still.

The best companion for your phone and emulator apps
I love this thing! it's made gaming on my phone much more comfortable. My only wish is for the buttons and casing to be higher quality, I'd easily pay $80 for a version of this with a build quality as good as say the Xbox One controller (except for the telescoping mechanism, this feels flimsy but there's no other way to make it better unless they make it thicker). Furthermore, I'd pay $100 for all the improvements I mentioned above plus a legitimate Touch Screen to Button Mapping app. one that doesn't need root access and has full access to Google Play game saves.

proper pairing requires developer mode usb cord and USB debugging enabled
Great controller I did have sum trouble getting it to work i found that if you use developer mode and enable USB debugging then plug directly into phone it will pair properly after that remove the USB cable and pair via Bluetooth and it will automatically register as a controller and able to map all buttons i did this for minecraft and all buttons mapped them self all of them and for games without a button config you can manually map onscreen buttons with invisable overlay buttons great controller

Very flimsy, but worked well
Worked very well as a controller. Connected easily, and reconnected automatically when turned back on. Buttons felt alright, but lacked the analog click.The controller itself is *very* flimsy. When you put in your phone horizontally, the telescopic part flexes back and forth when any pressure is put on both sides of the controller. It happens basically any time you press buttons. This is why I returned it.It's quite expensive as well. For $20 less I bought one with clickable analog sticks and higher build quality. The one downside of my new one is that it doesn't reconnect automatically.

Connection issues and malfunctioning app required for xinput mode.
It seems to be well built and it also seems to have a good battery life but it could never connect properly to my Samsung Galaxy S4. It always has trouble pairing and connecting. They recommend downloading the flymagic app, but in my case it made things worse. It would not connect at all through the app. Also, it's supposed to support xinput... but it seems it can only be activated through the app. Conclusion, it's useless plastic junk for me.

Overall a great controller.
It works perfectly and fits great in my hand. It feels like I have a PSP again. It does move a bit for thinner phones but it works great on my LG G5 with a thin case on it. I'm not a fan of the xbox-style joystick configuration but it is popular so I see why they went with that.
