Great wireless controller for the price. Easy to connect, comfortable to hold, and buttons feel responsive. No stick drift so far, clean premium look, and works perfectly with PC & Android. Battery life is decent and vibration adds a nice gaming feel. Totally worth buying 👍

Controller is very good work perfectly with wired dongle and Bluetooth very good. Very nice. I am used this controller up to 2 months. This is very good and I post a review.

good quality, budget friendly, no issue so far 5 months after purchasing, overall ill recommend this

The controller is decent, but I had to turn it off and restart it because after a little while, the triggers stop registering, and there’s also a joystick drift issue because it gets discalibrated, even though it has Hall effect joysticks.

Got defective piece 2 times, and 3rd time i thought lets give it a last try and did replacement and seller scammed and put "recipient canceled the replacement" I had to contact amazon support for a refund, that too took a lot of time considering I had to buy this thing for a birthday present, very disappointed in seller and cosmic bytes quality control. Note: Please update firmware before testing to ensure proper results (get it on cosmic byte's website, scroll down on the controllers page, you can find it there), Use USB wired connection to update the firmware (DO NOT USE WIRELESS DONGLE TO UPDATE FIRMWARE), and after updating firmware reset the controller for calibration, then start testing, also check 1st if you have a are pro with software support or not, as they both have different firmware updates, they started to launch Ares pro with software recently, these all issues might be because of that, which means they can roll out firmware update to fix these, its a gamble either way. All the issues listed are genuine, and most of them are issues I faced, and other I've put prefix as "User's reported" which I did not face, but some users have reported them on reddit. Possible Issues: 1. ABXY buttons loose, which makes rattling noise when we shake the controller or the controller vibrates, it makes vibrations feel cheap. 2. Right or Left Stick or both having stick drift right out of the box, with no input the sticks drift to either top or bottom. 3. Both sticks having bad calibration of hall sense, as so that even if you lightly touch the stick it takes your input, and it feels annoying and cheap, to manage this you would have to keep the inner dead zones very big, which is very disappointing. 4. Either 1 or both the left and right triggers have bad actuation points it shows 100% actuation even if you just push them 40-50% down. 5. Macros not functioning properly, even after latest firmware update. 6. Software glitches, and software settings do not work properly too, like dead zone calibration, trigger actuation settings, etc. 7. Connectivity issues, the controller often stops responding, gets stuck in some yellow or orange light on the cosmic byte logo button, requiring manual reset to fix it. 8. Users reported, D-Pad malfunctions, and registers wrong inputs. 9. Users reported, after some time of use (usually around 30-60min of use) the error rate on both sticks go from 0.4% all the way up to ~28%. 10. Users reported, Inconsistent vibrations, either doesn't work sometimes or does not work as intended (might be firmware update issue). 11. if you have any issues on your own that were not mentioned here, continue this thread and mention it please, your review might help the next gamer in search of his controller. I bought the 2 times on sale, but now the price has increased so I don't even wanna give a a last try at this point, this controller should rule this price segment considering its good looking software with a lot of functionality that we only get on costly controllers, and its features too. If you have any issues I've mentioned or new ones please reply, review, whatever this is my 1st review on amazon, I do not know how this all works. It really comes down to your luck if you get a working one or not, good thing this abomination had a refund option, otherwise I was royally f..d, welp if you buy this controller and get a good piece, please test it long term as users reported malfunctions after a couple of weeks or months.

Controller is very good work perfectly with wired dongle and Bluetooth very good. Very nice. I am used this controller up to 2 months. This is very good and I post a review.

It is a wonder ful controller but use it with dongle or wire . Blutooth has latency and not vibration. The vibration in dongle is good not like ps5 controller.but macro keys are great. Overall worth it controller (not for shooting or aiming games) I have played gta 5 and rdr2 and it is perfect for it

Very good haptic feedback and very cost effective. I'm using it for a week on 1-2 hours on daily basis good battery life . Minimum latency on Bluetooth and dongle modem.it has some stylish appearance and Very smooth gaming experience. The motors are well optimized for Vibrations.Overall very good budget friendly controller

Good controller works with LG webos and can play with cloud gaming such as Xbox or nvidia Defenetly a very good battry life and is comparable with many devices and it's accuracy is around 1-2% error rate which is fine and buttons are very good

After looking for many controllers under 2k I got confused but as soon as this one launched i found positive response of it from users. For me I think this controller comes with good connectivity options as well as great buttons. I am using it for pc for a few games only . I think the vibrations could have been better in response but what can we ask for this price. Go for it. Value for money

Dont do the mistake that i have done.. If u want to play comitative shooting games like cod warzone , Velorant etc. then it is not recommended because it does not comes with gyro sensor and aiming is not easy. there are no latency but i still use it in wired mode because 2.4 hz dongle creates problem with internet connection because i use 2.4 hz wifi hotspot for internet and i think most of us use 2.4 hz which provides long range .. and this creates sometimes internet issue. because of both connections suffer with same path.. if u know u know. but comes with grate build quality and there are macro buttons makes game easier and have a good battery life. over all value for money .
