Pros

PriceThis is an affordable controller.

It works OKAs long as the specific game supports this kind of controller, then it should work just fine.

Various featuresIt can do many things, such as control the camera, media player, air mouse, etc.

Comfortable designIt is comfortable to hold, similar to a Nintendo Wii Nunchuk.

Cons

It doesn’t support certain VR gamesThis issue isn’t relevant to the controller itself but to the game/software.

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). Keep in mind that compatibility depends on whether the specific game or app supports this type of controller, so that limitation comes from the software and not from the hardware itself.

The Bottom Line

Cheap, versatile and comfortable to hold. Worth the shot, as long as your game or app supports this type of controller.

FAQ

Where can I find games for this controller?
I recommend you start with the Google Play Store or Appstore and look for "VR Games With Controller" and other sorts of keyword search combinations.
Why this controller doesn’t work with a game I downloaded?
There might be 2 main reasons for that.

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).
Does this controller work with a PC?
Yes, it is supposed to work well with a PC. I tested it with Windows 10 and it worked well. If it doesn’t work for you, try pairing it with a different computer, and if that fails, contact the seller and ask for a solution.
Can I use this controller with any VR game, such as VRChat?
I’m not familiar with specific games such as VRChat, so I can’t tell you if they work. Basically, if a game supports a controller, which is probably going to be a Bluetooth controller, I believe this controller will work well.
Got questions about this controller?

Already used this controller yourself?
