Just a great controller
At first as i had brought this for rocket league the stick felt really off and was over steering but after a bit of a google read a fix was a self calibration of which was in the instructions but they should have said to do upon first use as read instructions fully beforehand.All in all i am very happy with this controller the sticks now feel amazing and as do all the buttons only thing which could be me is the paddle buttons on the rear i move to off as when on i find myself accidentally pressing them where i am trying to grip the controller but other than that amazing.

A smorgasbord of quality of life improvements
The media could not be loaded. Yes, it’s a reasonably priced Hall effect pad with real HD rumble, back paddles and plentiful macro options. It’s even got individually addressable RGB for each face button, home, and the colour bar, customisable from a phone app.But it’s the little things that really impress:* Switchable Xbox/Nintendo button labels, with customisable RGB light settings on each* Switches which change the analogue triggers to actual micro-switched hair triggers and back again* Lock buttons for the back paddles which physically lock the paddlesThese are innovative quality of life additions, ingeniously woven in to an ordinary-sized pad. I should mention I’m not really the kind of person to use a charging dock, but the included one is nice enough, and is a welcome bonus at this low price. It includes an extension port for the USB receiver, so you get improved reception if your desktop PC’s in a less than ideal spot.The only bum note is the d-pad. It’s nice enough as a four way input for modern games, but the up-diagonals on mine get stuck. For example, if you go from left to up-left, then back to left, you’re actually stuck in up-left until you let the pad go back to neutral. Probably my just a defect in my unit though.

Had high hopes for this control pad....
After reading about this control pad, watching various demo videos on it, how well it plays EA FC with the TMR sticks, warzone with hair triggers . It looked great. However fast forward a few days and I'm returning it due to the A button being intermittent, not ideal when playing competitive online games, couldn't jump out of windows on warzone and couldn't pass on FC 25.... looks like I will have to go after the Razor Wolverine V3 Pro after all... The sheer difference in price for the tarantula pro compared to some of the other "high end" controllers clearly showed here.Looks the part but fell short in the basics.******EDIT - I am amending my review and upgrading the stars based on potentially a problem caused by myself, i plugged the dongle into the dock, and then using a longer usb a to usb c cable, brought the dock closer to where i was sitting as previously i was a bit far from the dongle in my PC, this seems to have alleviated the issue with the A button not being responsive, and overall the controller is good, feedback feels good, and the overall build quality is robust and feels well made, my only issue and the reason i cannot give it 5 stars, is that the M button on the back is in the center and my finger always catches it when playing EA FC for example and then my shoot button / RT / LT is turned onto auto, meaning my shots are pathetic, i cant sprint etc. but that is the only flaw i have experienced. other than that I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CONTROL PAD :) is good on Warzone with the mouse click triggers too!

Bad d-pad diagonals, temperamental digital trigger switches, OK everything else.
D-pad's diagonal inputs are actually completely, and utterly irredeemably terrible. The actual d-pad feels nice because of the switches but it is absolutely awful at registering diagonal inputs.The L2/R2 digital toggle switches are flawed and will disable if you press to hard or at the wrong angle - rendering the triggers completely unusable - you can fix it with some tape on the controller edge to stop it happening but using tape on a £80 controller is completely unacceptable on every level.Most other things are ok to good. The face button display gimmick is utterly pointless and feels like a waste of money that could have been far better served on the d-pad quality, triggers not literally failing to work on a basic level in a 'premium' feature mode and the face buttons simply being better.Could easily be rated much higher - perhaps even a 5 - without these very basic missteps. The poor quality of the d-pad especially renders it completely unsuitable for anything requiring precise inputs for diagonals such as fighting games. The only reason I've not returned it is because the Dualsense is actively worse and there's basically no other good options for a symmetrical pad.I've heard hearsay of a revision that fixes the d-pad but mine is terrible with no way to choose (or verify) revision rendering the point at most a rather expensive gamble. It's entirely possible this is the revised one and it's still just utterly awful.

Great
Great controller. Fits nice in the hand for long hours of game play. The plastic isn't a cheapo type and should last for quite a while. Battery life is plenty for a session. Happy with this

not compatible with Xbox and PS5
Is it compatible with Xbox and PS5? Because I can't find any way to connect it. I've tried several ways. If anyone knows how, please teach me.

Excellent Controller for Family Gaming on Switch OLED - 5 Stars
The media could not be loaded. I ordered this controller for my Switch OLED, hoping to enjoy family gaming sessions, and it has exceeded my expectations! The build quality is excellent, and connecting it to the console is a breeze. Using the included USB connection, it establishes a wireless connection within seconds. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making setup hassle-free.A great addition is the included charging stand, and the customisable layout of the controller is a fantastic bonus. It’s lightweight and highly responsive, enhancing gameplay, while the motion control and vibration features work seamlessly to add immersion. Considering its cost and features, I confidently give it 5 stars for its value. Highly recommended!
