VG-C065 Wireless Controller for Switch

I really can't fault this controller. Straight out the box, hooked the Wi-Fi dongle to a spare USB and thought I'd give Tomb Raider Remastered a shot.... And, as the title relays - 3 hrs later, there I was, still testing Tomb Raider. Purely in the interests of investigative rigour, naturally. What particularly impressed me is the fact I have a really dodgy USB multiport - only thing I can plug into - just not enough USB's on the front of my PC - and the connection didn't drop once. I can hook up my tablet, and it will drop the connection multiple times in a row (even with a new cable, which turns out to have been a waste), but the connection between the dongle and controller worked seamlessly throughout. I'm set up on an old Win 7 machine, nothing fancy - Windows detected the dongle and loaded the necessary drivers perfectly. Also tested on my PS3 - worked like a charm, just like it says on the box. The controller can function with a number of built-in emulators, you can just switch between each if necessary. I didn't have to, but the option is there if you need it. Haven't tried it on Android yet, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Should that be a problem, I'll update this review. Build wise, the controller itself is actually very good. Nothing flimsy, both sticks are very responsive, D-Pad works just like on a PS3 - buttons all function. You can map the controller's TURBO function to any button, as necessary - shoulder buttons are both sharp and responsive, as you would expect. I've paid more for authentic games controllers and this has more functionality with no discernable decrease in performance. There's no off or on button, you just hook up the dongle to your device, your device loads the appropriate drivers - that's it, just press connect on the controller same as you would on a regular console controller. Switching off consists of either ejecting the dongle from the USB on your PC or else powering down your regular console. The Controller will switch itself off after 30 seconds of no signal - it also has a sleep mode if connected to save battery. All very neat, very easy. Charging is via a USB-B to C cable. If connected to the USB on a PC/Console/Device, full charge should take around 2 hours - the indicator lights on the handset will flash throughout charging and stay lit once fully charged. If charging via a tablet/phone charger, the indicator lights will flash throughout charging and switch off when fully charged - it distinguishes between power sources. In the interest of full disclosure I probably wouldn't have thought to splash-out on this at the price I paid - something around 40% off - making it perhaps indistinguishable from any other "cheap" game controller on the market, we're it not for the good reviews - I think deserving. Pleased I took the punt though, very pleased to have got it at a reduced price, though it's undoubtedly worth the full price value - it's just I probably wouldn't stretch to his full retail price on a punt. So, all in - a bit of a good purchase. If you're considering, I'd say definitely go for it while the price is reduced - I personally hate buying controllers because there's always such a hoo-ha about subjective value for money. However, under £20.00 for a wireless game controller is a good price, and in this instance definitely a smart purchase. Very pleased I don't have to throw my keyboard around in frustration any more, any time I play a PC game - and even more relieved is my keyboard. Double bonus points for this controller's connectivity with other devices, responsiveness and battery usage seems great, even straight out the box, it just works. TURBO mapping is just the icing on the cake waiting for a chance to dust off Peacewalker for. All in the name of investigative rigour, obviously....

Bought this as a replacement for one of my old PS3 controllers that's now covered in battery fluid. I was a bit hesitant because I know how finnicky PlayStations can be when it comes to foreign devices. The item arrives and I unbox it. So far so good. Very simple, just the controller, a reciever, and like a 3 page manual smaller than my palm. Literally no messing around was needed, I turned the PS3 on, plugged in the reciever, switched on the controller and bam, instant connect. The range of the controller was enough to span my entire living room, so that's good. PS3 USB ports are generally useless anyways so I don't mind at all having the receiver take up space. If you are using your USB slots for something else however then just keep that in mind. I decided the best way to check put the controller was to play some games, duh. Played a bunch, very responsive controller. It feels firm and solid, and the button presses feel good too. It doesn't really feel cheap at all. The shape is exactly like that of an Xbox controller, and compared to the PS3 controller this is much more ergonomical. I'm a tall guy with "piano hands" so when I play with PS controllers my fingers tend to extend and meet behind the controller. With this though it's very comfortable. The controller is also DualShock, vibrations also feel solid. Tried these out for a few hours for two days and it was still going strong. Great value for money, very glad I bought it. I will mention though that the receiver is made of very weak material and should be made a bit more sturdier. In one case, I almost snapped it when turning my PlayStation to put the cables in. My fault though and I won't be doing that again lol. I'll also mention the charging port is a little odd. I have tons of micro USB cables but none will fit this, as it's more an iPhone/Samsung S9/10 style of charger (kinda oval).

This controller feels great, doesn't seem to have dead zones as people complain about in other cheap xbox controllers, and I like the USB-C charging. I wasted a lot of time getting it working on linux, but it ended up working great. The key is to use Android mode, not Xinput or Dinput modes. Oblivious to the different modes, I tried to get this controller working on ubuntu 18.04. Another review posted how to get it working with xboxdrv, and that worked, though it was pretty annoying to use. There's a github pull-request to improve the support, but it's been ignored for ages. It worked on some games, but crashed others (some unity games don't like controllers with weird chars in the name), and didn't show up for steam's big picture mode. I then upgraded to ubuntu 20.04 and found it worked better, no xboxdrv needed anymore, but still had the annoyances. Once I read the manual in enough detail to realize there's are different modes, including an android mode, I noticed it just works natively and properly, and testing on ubuntu 18.04, works great there too. It works with all the games I tested without crashes, and including steam's big picture mode. For the annoyances mentioned above, once it works (ie ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04 with xboxdrv), depending on the mode, it'll show up with the wrong button order, with the triggers as buttons instead of axes, or with all the axes messed up. Make sure you use Android mode (bottom two LED lit) to avoid all that! Bumping to 4 stars now that it works, but only 4 stars because of the confusing manual that caused me to waste hours figuring out how to make it work.

Für den Preis alles gut. Läuft wie beschrieben. Nutze es mit PC, einfach Plug & Play: Uplay, Steam etc. erkennen den sofort. Bei der Ausgabe mit dem bunten Griffen ist der bunte Plastikeinsatz an den Kanten nicht ganz sauber eingesetzt/verarbeitet. Aber hält alles und stört Null. Wie beschrieben, für den Preis kann man da nicht mehr erwarten, also Top Preis Leistung.

Ottimo controller, leggero, di bell'aspetto e con un'elevata sensibilità, quindi per i 30 euro che costa direi più che consigliato. Occhio però che il cavo per collegare il controller al PC (o alla switch) è relativamente breve (1m circa), e nel caso lo voleste usare c'è un software da scaricare trovabile sul sito del produttore del controller, nulla di impossibile!

Excelente marca de control inalámbrico, muy buena duración de la batería, el mando se ajusta perfectamente a las manos(muy comodo) responde muy bien en la ps3.

I love the battery, duper durable, it is also super sensitive. Love it
