Overall Verdict
All in all, this is a nice, feature-rich gadget that offers plenty of utility for the price. It works as an air mouse, a media player remote and a camera shutter, and it is also a popular accessory for VR glasses.
To get the most out of it, take the time to pair it and set the correct mode for your operating system (iOS, Android or Windows).

FAQ
Where can I find games for this controller?
Why this controller doesn’t work with a game I downloaded?
Reason #1 - The specific game doesn’t support a controller. Many developers don’t create VR games that operate with a controller but only with body movement. I believe as time goes by, you will be able to find more and more games that allow you to use a controller such as this one.
Reason #2 - You didn’t set up the controller properly, so check if it switched to the relevant OS that you are using (iOS / Android / Windows), and make sure to choose the right mode (as I explained in the video).
