T3 Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Gamepad Gaming Controller for Android Smartphone (BLACK)

Don't buy this, you have a small chance to get a working product, but a greater chance of defective controllers and another month of waiting for a replacement, all due to the poor production and lack of quality control.I ordered two of these, one for my fiance and one for myself, as we had both just gotten Samsung Note 5's and GearVR headsets. The controller connected quickly and easily, no problems there, and it wasn't until I booted up Mincraft VR that I realized, neither of the triggers work. I tried going into the options and setting them, in case the key binding wasn't the same between the controller and the phone, but pressing the trigger did nothing when I tried to set a new key binding, and the same problem exists with both controllers. Three stars because I'm able to play the game using the bumpers in place of the triggers, but -2 because I had to remap them to the D-pad, something I won't be able to do in every game without losing some play-ability.Lowered the score when I was told by the sellers representative that the fault was probably due to having been shipped from overseas.

I've had these about a week, so I can't comment on how long they last, but the controllers do seem reasonably well built. They are a bit light weight, but I'm guessing that's from not having a rumble feature. I bought three, two of the black and one of the white.Pros:Pairs with Amazon Fire TV stick and Windows computer.Button quality seems good.Similar in button layout, size and shape to a PlayStation controller. (only slightly smaller)Cheap.Cons:Doesn't stay paired with my device (Fire TV stick). Each time I turn on the controller I have to go to settings and delete it (because even though it's in the list of devices it doesn't auto sync.My Bluetooth keyboard and remote control both auto sync when powered on, so this is an issue with the controller, not the fire stick). Then I have to re-pair it.Getting this controller into sync/discovery mode is also a pain. You have to press X and home at the same time, but it doesn't always work. When it's in the right mode the lights flash faster than when it's just powered on.The select and start button do not seem to be map-able. On android select acts as a back button and start acts as a home button. Neither button will allow me to map it to a game function. In Windows I can view the controller properties and register when I'm pressing these buttons, but in my game it does not register/allow me to map say "pause the game" to start. It will let me map "pause the game" to a shoulder button, but then I don't have enough buttons for the rest of the game functions. I'm not sure why these two buttons are seen differently, but it's happening on multiple devices.The center Home/Power button feels a bit like a gel/soft rubber, and pressing it with my fingernail leaves an indent for several seconds. I could be wrong, but I feel like this is going to wear out and degrade after some use.

After a while of use, i needed to update my past post regarding this controller. After about 8-10 hours of use it starts reminding you it needs charging, an while charging, it is not capable of being used, flip side, takes no time at all, maybe an hour to fully charge, but personally, I'm tempted on buying another just for the sake of both being charged, unlimited game play with no interruption lol or if i forget to charge it one day ^_^A++ minus battery being unable to charge while using

This is exactly what I was looking for. The quality is much higher than expected given it comes with a very affordable price tag. I've used this controller nonstop for around 3 hours without charging and it had no issues. I bought this to play roms on my tablet so I wasn't expecting this to replace a high-end console controller. This does exactly what I need and want. It has a nice weight to it and isn't as heavy as a ps4 controller. It synced up to my tablet's bluetooth without any extra hassle other than pressing the large home button. Nice product.

I bought for us with Amazon FireTV. it works on some games not on others. Even when it works, some buttons work not all. And on other games, the buttons that did not work, begin to work. I think this more a software problem than actual hardware. I have tried other bluetooth controllers with Amazon FireTV to compare with. I have wired controllers which work fine.Update: After one and half months, they don't connect anymore to FireTV.

I have gone through a ton of gamepads trying to find an affordable one that works with the Amazon Fire TV Stick. I use the build from mykodi.net to put all the NEW, SNES, and Sega Genesis games on the Fire Stick and this controller syncs right to it with no problems and works right out of the box with the emulators. I didn't even have to assign the keys, I think the emulators already knew what buttons were what.I will say that when you sync it, you can't add it as a "Game Controller". You have the add it as an "Other Bluetooth Device" and it syncs right up. Also, the instructions only come in Chinese. Not a problem though, you just hold the center red button till it starts flashing rapidly. That puts it in discover-able mode. Then the fire stick finds it.

This works with Samsung Galaxy s7 edge. It works with VR games and apps as well. Great price for what it offers. The battery life is good and it recharges in less then an hour. Worth the price.

Set up was easy and the controller did work except for the left trigger. Tried a bunch of different games for Gear VR and it was the same issue in all. Was going to try to order another but the shipping is about month away. Paid more for the Sminiker one with 2 day prime shipping.
