ECHTPower Wireless PC Gaming Controller - Hall Effect Joystick, 2.4G & Wired 1000Hz Polling Rate, 800mAh Battery, Adjustable Turbo/Vibration - for PC/Switch/iOS/Android

For the price, it worked great and I never had issues. I also loved the colors. For the money you pay, it works really great.

I’ve been playing on my pc since early 2020 and have been using mouse and keyboard for every single game I’ve played since then. Obviously there’s some games out there that are significantly easier to play using a controller, I’ve just been stubborn, until now. In light of Super Bowl 60, I purchased madden 26 (gross, I know) and could not for the life of me understand how to play on keyboard, it’s so awkward. So I thought of getting a controller, and this one is actually perfect. It’s obviously not gonna live up to a real, legit Xbox controller, but it feels great in the hands. The buttons and triggers have amazing input and scratch just the right spot of my brain. This could just be me not being used to holding a controller but the thumb sticks feel so much better and responsive than previous licensed controllers I’ve used during my console days. The bluetooth works flawlessly, within 1 minute of unboxing I was already using the controller in game. Super simple to set up. The battery life is another plus, I played for a good 4-5 hours last night without the battery dying and I haven’t even charged it yet. The type C cord that comes with the controller is just a bit short for my liking but that is an issue so far down the list I shouldn’t even be mentioning it. In short, if you’re looking for a cheap controller and have a past of loving the ergonomic feel of Xbox controllers, this is the one for you. You will not regret it.

I have both a PC and a Mac Studio M1 Ultra that i use for gaming when time allows. Wasn't certain that this would work on the Mac, but it did without any hesitation. Good action, and no batteries to worry about as it is rechargeable. I mention this because the AI often will claim that these controllers do not have MacOS support. On this particular one (and a couple others I've used over time that were purchased on Amazon), it apparently doesn't require any finagling to get it work on a MacOS system. Just figured food for thought. Wired controllers almost never have an issue, but wasn't sure about Bluetooth... can confirm that the system saw it, made a noise and said "Yeah... let's do this." :)

Really an awesome controller: good build quality, the face button position swapping and light effect, hidden usb dongle, clicky accurate d-pad, good grips on the stick edges, clicky digital option for the triggers, strong vibration. I only had issues on some of the wireless settings: 2.4ghz worked great, Bluetooth wouldn’t always connect seamlessly but worked well, both of these were super responsive with extremely low input lag, but the Android mode had a lot more lag than I’ve experienced with other controllers and I’m not likely to use it there because of it. And the final point: the charging stand when plugged into a console is on and off and turning the controller on and off, charging, fully charged, starts charging again. I wouldn’t opt for the dongle inside the stand, just put it into your console and use the stand in an outlet.

I'll start off by saying I love the official Switch Pro Controller from Nintendo. I think it's super comfortable. The only thing I want is a controller just like it with extra programmable buttons, and this thing is the best controller I've found that fit the bill! I love how the button layout is exactly like the Switch Pro Controller - a lot of other third party controllers will swap the Home buttons with turbo or something else and it messes me up because of my muscle memory. The shape is pretty close with the handles being a bit thicker, which I have found I like. It's just as comfortable to hold for long periods, if not more.. The plastic feels very nice and high quality! I love the black on white aesthetic as well and the RGB lights are just a bonus (do wish it had a color fading mode that just rotates through colors without breathing/turning off though. Also wish the ABXY buttons could be changed and match the color of the sticks instead of always Xbox colors, but it still looks nice). I also love how easy and intuitive it is to set the programmable buttons or create a macro (and the LEDs for that matter). I've tried other controllers with these features where if you don't do it for a while, you forget how the hell to set it and have to reference the manual. I don't have a big need for macros right now, but I have tested it out and it works super well! It's pretty robust honestly. You can even record analog stick movements to the macros which opens up a lot of possibilities! As well, you can set the buttons to be one specific direction on a stick, so you could hold the button to simulate holding the stick in that direction. Seriously the best macro feature I've seen on a cheap controller like this! The wake function is very realiable! More reliable than the official Nintendo controller actually. It works flawlessly the first time every time. Now the main issue I had was the placement of the macro setting buttons. They really should be further away from where your middle fingers test, because I found that I would often hit them by mistake, which doing so would reset the macro button to do nothing. I got this controller pretty much just for Tears of the Kingdom so I could run with XL and jump with XR, thereby being able to move the camera around while running and jumping. This really is a game changer if you like exploring on foot like I do. However, pressing your jump button, expecting to jump, and not jumping (because the macro button got accidentally unset) obviously is a frustrating problem that led to many goofs and deaths. They could fix this issue a few different ways. Either by moving the buttons further in or up, or even a simple software change so you had to long press the button to unset it and otherwise pressing it without any other button simultaneously would be ignored. That would probably be the best way to solve it. Or they could recess the buttons so they're not easy to press by mistake - and that's exactly what I took it upon myself to do! I opened the controller up with a screwdriver and sanded down the macro setting buttons so now they're about 2-3mm in and it's impossible to press them by mistake. I have to intentionally push the tip of my finger into the hole to hit the button. Completely solved the problem! There is another minor issue I've seen other reviewers mention: the very short disconnect/sleep time, but this is entirely fixable as well—and officially! All you have to do is use the KeyLinker app on your smartphone. Pair the controller to your phone (in the app, not in your Bluetooth settings). You'll see all the settings you can play with. On the last tab to the right "Other", you'll find "no operation shutdown time". It's set to 5 minutes by default, but you can set it anywhere up to 30 minutes or to never shut off. Perfect! The only thing that isn't fixable but I can live with is the battery life. It's not bad but I wish it was better. The official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has crazy good battery life. Whenever I use it I feel like I don't have to charge it for days. This, I feel like I have to plug in at least once a day or every other day (tbh I haven't properly measured). Also to be fair, this has LEDs sucking the juice up too and I have not tested the battery life with them off. I like the lights and have a cable nearby so it's no problem to plug it in when I need to. Though, I wouldn't have minded this having a slightly higher price tag to have a larger battery inside. But I'm happy with it either way. Only other minor issue is I wish the screenshot and home buttons weren't so raised - they can more easily be pressed accidentally, and I find myself hitting screenshot sometimes when I'm reaching for -, but this isn't a deal breaker. Overall, this thing is great and the only real issues were easily fixable, so I totally recommend it!

TLDR: Don't buy for the wireless USB capabilities. It doesn't work. I purchased a BLACK 2 model to use with a BC-250 Linux system being utilized as a steam machine. My system does not have any native Bluetooth capabilities and has a hard-wired Ethernet connection. So buying a Wifi/Bluetooth dongle to use with a Bluetooth controller was less than ideal. Hence why I purchased this product. Currently, I am using a wired MSI controller that kids keep tripping up on and/or pulling. So I was hopeful getting a wireless controller with a charging dock. However, I have been nothing but disappointed by this controller. Before I drove into the negative aspects of the controller, there was a couple expectations that were met. The build quality is similar to a $20 Nintendo switch wired controller. For a $30 wireless controller with a dock, I expected this. The controller has multiple connection options, which is a nice to have, but unused by me. RGB is a fun touch too. HOWEVER, I cannot use this controller as I intended to. Since I already have a wired controller and my system didn't have native Bluetooth, I wanted to use the system with the wireless USB dongle. My system is inside of an ikea fjallbo tv unit. Think metal mesh. All of my game consoles (PS5, Wii, etc) are in there and have no problem with controller connections. However, they use Bluetooth connections for their controllers. When I plugged in the USB dongle for this controller and shut the metal mesh cabinet door, the controller had no connection and promptly shut off when I tried to use it. However, the wireless keyboard/mouse I have that also uses a wireless USB dongle has no such issues. When I opened the door to my TV cabinet, the controller was able to connect. Having to open the cabinet defeated the purpose of the cabinet since it no longer kept a young child out of the cabinet. However, after further testing, the controller only occasionally connected to the USB dongle (it often failed even if adjacent to the dongle) and if the controller lost line of sight to the dongle it dropped/missed inputs, experienced major lag, and constant disconnections. Essentially, the controller was less reliable than a wii controller's IR pointing functionality. And since I already have a wired controller, this was worthless. EDIT: Tried giving the device the benefit of the doubt and tried using it as a Bluetooth device. I purchased a third party Bluetooth dongle to use on the BC-250 and this device would not connect. I tried to use it on my Windows PC as well and this device would not connect. I've tried resetting the device and no luck. I pulled up the ECHTPower website to see if there was a firmware update, but the website was WORSE than the controller. I HIGHLY advise you to stay away from this controller.

First up - Don't be dumb like me. The included USB dongle is found within the controller itself. Pop the d-pad off then take off the magnetic cover. The dongle hides in the left grip. For the review itself: I've been using this controller consistently for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues at all. It connects extremely quickly when you take it off the dock, and the dock itself is designed in a way that allows the controller to be plopped in place with no effort (a problem I've seen with other controller/dock combos). The features are great! Being able to turn the triggers into buttons has been awesome for some older games. Having hall sensors for thumb sticks in games like BeamNG and even the new skate. game has been a delight. My old controller was drifting so, anything that doesn't is an upgrade but it's just the way these feel. They're so smooth! I love the clear buttons with backlighting. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. The little switch that allows me to convert it from Xbox style to Switch style is brilliant. It essentially turns a little dial and actually changes the backlit lettering under the buttons so that you can visibly see what mode it's in. Clever, to say the least. Overall the build quality seems on-par with my Xbox One controller. It's heavy, but not too heavy. The proportions are all 100% accurate. Etc etc. The only thing I can't comment on is longevity. Being that I've only had this for a few weeks, I can't tell if it'll last the same 7 or 8 years as my last Microsoft controller but at the price.... Who cares. I'd take 3 years out of this if that's all it gives me. TL;DR - Buy this. I got it on sale and I'd say it's the single best controller I've ever purchased for the price point. Will it rival an Xbox Elite controller? Idk, maybe. But the price tag surely covers any oversight.

Should be cheaper since it is the same price of controllers that outperform it. I was having frequent connnectivity breaks while gaming and lots of drofting incidents. Besides that it was a good controller i just dont like that they try to get away with charging the same as clearly dominant products.

Cumple su funcion, es ligero, la bateria dura lo suficiente como para que te aburras de jugar, ofrece varias formas de conectividad entre ellas el 2.4 través del soporte de carga que se conecta al PC. No he notada nada de delay. Calidad precio muy bueno

Très bonne manette ! Utilisée principalement sur Switch, elle est confortable en main et agréable même sur de longues sessions. Les boutons répondent parfaitement, sans aucune latence. Très bon rapport qualité. Je recommande !

Muy lindo. Me encanta que cambia de colores! Aparte por el precio, se siente de muy buena calidad!

Soddisfatto

This was bought for a present for my grown up son he was very pleased with it
