    For the price, this is an awesome controller!
    Of course, it doesn't feel the same quality as a Nintendo controller, but it is just as responsive.
    The buttons and the d-pad being differently orientated never made a difference in my gaming. It was all still very natural.
    If the battery life is a problem, then buy two. With two controllers you are still paying less than half the price of a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

    I just bought one of these last night so I could play Street Fighter 30th on my switch with a proper D-Pad, it’s a really nice controller especially at that price point.

    It's not too bad for a Switch Pro controller that has vibration function.
    Power A pro controllers (which flooded the 3rd party market) don't even have haptic feedback.
    Also the Playstation layout is odd for some games, where the d-pad is for accessory stuff like choosing inventory or menus, and the analog is used for character movement.

      I noticed iPhones don’t seem to be able to connect but androids and pc computers connect with no issue. I suggest the razed Kishi if your looking for a good controller for iOS Devi
