  • Fantastic, better than xbox one controller
Fantastic, better than xbox one controller, fully supports every single google play store game via mapping controls even for sao memory defrag, best controller for my nvidia shield k1, I should have bought this in this first place, reviews that rate this below 5 stars are wrong, this controller is sturdy, will last as long if not longer than a xbox 360 controller and the overall ergonomic fill is ten times better than the xbox one controller also it does not require turning off blue tooth and back or restarting your device etc.. like the xbox one controller had problems with with my k1, this controller is always bluetooth active and it has not disconected once since playing games for 7+ hours the last 2 to 3 days and that is saying something. Anyone who buy's an off brand like bbencool brand etc... will be dissapointed because I know I was as they either had a small lag delay or they had a feature missing such as mouse use, this controller has it all no lag mouse for right stick as well as left stick for gaming and the nice thing is it does not require you to switch modes to use the mouse part, it is integrated together meaning you can use the mouse and game at the same time and also it has game controller mapping to make sao work by using the mouse with your right trigger and mapping the left trigger by holding down the middle nvidia logo on the controller and selecting the (L0) which is your left d circle stick and then you can increase the size to almost fit your whole tablet screen leaving just enough room to add an attack buttong along with a skill button and then you got your own sao memory defrag dodging all attacks by make your controller mapped with a ginormous left d stick for movement which makes it like a 3d movement game, awesome, anyhow long story short if you get another controller you will be missing out on this baby, it is the bomb don't buy something else this is the controller for gamers and media users alike. ... show more

  • Even better than the Xbox or Playstation controller? Maybe!
This is now the third Nvidia Shield Controller I've owned, and it's still the one I prefer for playing most games! I've been comparing this to the Xbox One controller, the PS4 controller, and the Google Stadia controller--and I prefer it to all of them! PROS: * The fit is good, and all of the controls feel right! The buttons have the right amount of feedback, click as they should, and offer good feedback. * If you use it with an Nvidia Shield TV, the volume control with the headphone jack is a KILLER feature! * Battery life is very, very good. * Nvidia updates the firmware regularly. Though I've never had any problems, it's good to know they're still supporting it often! * The connection to my Nvidia Shield is strong, even through a wooden wall. CONS: * The analog sticks can be a little too sensitive to "clicks" (such that when I'm playing a flying game, my view might suddenly switch from cockpit to outside the plan as I'm using the analog stick to make intense movements). * The angular "design" of the controller might not be for everyone... it doesn't really match anything, and can create some mildly uncomfortable surfaces. * It's still expensive, and can be hard to find. Overall, this is my go-to controller. I wish the volume control worked with every console I use it on, but when it's paired with the Nvidia Shield, it simply doesn't get any better! ... show more

  • Works well with Shield Tablet.
I am new to controllers as I have always been a PC guy. Decided to use this with an Nvidia Shield tablet. Overall I really like and it works well. I did have to attach this as a Bluetooth and not the shield accessory. I have read there may be an update to this in the future. So being a new controller and after a couple weeks of hard use here is my input. 1. feels good in hand and I can reach all the buttons and toggles well. Toggles are concave so no slippage. 2. once paired as bluetooth it worked like a champ. 3. so far, long battery life. I have done a couple all day sessions of Fallout 4 and it kept going. 4. three buttons across bottom and hard to see in a picture. Control buttons for tablet and some other items. One on the right I pegged a few times and may be my fault as I am not a controller person. Button on right is for exiting game and back to shield. Not sure if it's a good spot. Hit it a lot early on. Just occasionally now. 5. would be nice if I could wireless into one of my sets of headphones, but it's a nice feature to have jack built into controller. Overall, pretty happy with it and I have gone from a skill 1 with controller to about an 7 in two weeks. ... show more

  • Addresses every issue with the previous generation
This is actually the third (that I'm aware of) generation of the Shield Controller (not including the one that is intrinsic to the original Nvidia Shield). The prior to versions have identical hardware, save for the capacitive buttons for Back/Home/PlayPause. To really understand this review, you have to consider the prior controller hardware. It was bulky but not uncomfortable, chock full of features, including a headset/mic jack (3.5mm), microUSB port for charging, volume rocker switch (that was large) and even a touch screen. It was only missing the kitchen sink. Such flexibility necessitated a larger than normal gamepad. It was actually quite comfortable to hold despite its size - and although it used the slightly inferior (opinion) PlayStation stick configuration, everything was kind of "on par". The shoulder triggers were tactile enough, and the face buttons had plenty of travel. The DPad, as with a lot of Dpads nowadays, needed a lot of work. The touchpad was useless, and the positioning of the capacitive buttons meant that there were occasional mispresses. Enter Version 2. MUCH more ergonomic to hold, feels much more dense (Read: sturdy) in the hand, and the larger triggers are a touch mushier, yet still tactile. Face button travel is a lot more responsive, and the DPad is worlds better. It's not longer mushy, and has a satisfying clicky feedback. The sticks are different, but seems to be mostly unchanged. They're far more easy to reach though, comfortably. The headphone jack has been relocated to the bottom. Gone is the touchpad (good riddance!) and it's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept. The poor volume rocker switches have been replaced by the NVidia Shield Remote-esque capacitive rocker, which works well. The previously capacitive Back/Home/PlayPause buttons are now physical, and are satisfyingly tactile, located on the bottom edge, away from the other buttons and sticks. I don't think that mis-presses are going to be an issue any longer. The look is... well, either you like it or hate it, but it is undeniably more comfortable in hand. The only thing I'm concerned with is that it appears to run on Bluetooth, which, in my experience, has lagged moreso than the 2.4GHz wireless. I could be wrong here. Anyway, time will tell if the lag difference is going to equate to more deaths in Dark Souls 3. But, for now, I am ecstatic about a purchase that I was admittedly originally on the fence about. Highly recommended for PC, Nvidia Shield K1, and the Nvidia Shield TV. Already thinking about getting a second. Pro's: * Vastly improved ergonomics. * Vastly improved D-Pad; best one out there outside of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. * Better Volume adjustment * Physical Buttons for Android OS functions * Longer Battery Life * Rumble functionality Con's: * Bluetooth instead of WiFi direct - should mean increase latency * No more touchpad (is this really a con?) * You have to buy it (I'm stretching here, at this point) ... show more

  • Awesome upgrade from the original model
This is the new controller (2017). I have the original system and bought this for some of the 2-player games I have. I REALLY like this over the original version. First - It looks angular but still fell great. Keep more in line with the looks of the system. REALLY nice look Second - the battery life seems better. I haven't done a side by side comparison, and I own it so I'm using what I "feel" not hard numbers. When I've run the new controller against the older one while playing games it seems to last much longer. The new one is not back lit when on with green LED so that is actually very likely true. Third - This has a greater polished feel to the hands. The original controller trigger and shoulder button gave a sharp edge on the top of the trigger that is fix in this one. Fourth controls - the volume button, back, forward, and menu are moved. The volume is a touch panel just above the back, forward, and menu buttons. Those buttons are now at the bottom rather than the top. The volume is really cool and easy to overlook if you are aware its there. Cons - the only one is really minor. The menu (circle button) is on the right side of the 3 buttons. It "feels" like it should be in the center. Meh you get use to it very fast. ... show more

  • Good solid Controller. No problems yet.
Maybe it's cuz I waited a while to get the update before I got the controller. Having done so has definitely made it so I wasn't likely to have a negative experience. It's been very good. It connected easily with the shield tablet k1 and I've been playing with it since then. Very easy to assign gamepad controls. It's very solid feeling, at least as good as an Xbox controller. I really like that it has a low power always connected feature. I didn't know about that but it's nice when I pick up the tablet, just move a stick and it wakes up and connects. Update : I've had it now for over 2 weeks and have played daily with it. I'm just recharging it now. Im estimating around 25 hours of gaming and 2+ weeks of standby. Im very happy with that. ... show more

  • Fastest Mediocre controller you can get for Shield
TL:DR - Fastest controller for remote PC play via Shield. Most uncomfortable controller I've ever used. I purchased this controller for my Nvidia Shield Pro that I have hooked up to my TV. I originally had a Playstation 4 controller, but the latency made nearly every game unplayable. My Shield and PC are hardlined to my router with CAT7 cable, so it wasn't a network latency issue. This controller solved all my latency issues. I can almost play Doom Eternal and other FPS, but the latency is still detectable in fast paced games like that. For slower games, like Final Fantasy 14, it is absolutely perfect. The reason I'm only giving this controller 3 stars is because it is unremarkable in every way. The buttons are ok and the sticks are decent, but the D pad is terrible. The D pad registers diagonal movements way too easy, making you move diagonally when you're trying to just move UDLR. My largest complaint is how incredibly uncomfortable this controller is. 20mins and your hands are sore and sweaty. The surface is very low-poly geometric and all those edges create pressure points on your hands. If it didn't function so well for my remote PC gaming setup, I'd definitely get rid of it. ... show more

  • Huge improvement over the past gen model and works on K1
Adding an update to help, I have a shield tablet K1 and it connects fine. You have to go to settings - Bluetooth on Android and connect. Make sure the controller is in pairing mode (hold down the Nvidia power button until the light blinks) and on your Android device there shiould be a refresh button if needed. I have even connected this to my note 4 with no issues so do not listen to anyone saying it is not compatible with the shield K1. Game streaming, local games, and the shield exclusives like half-life 2 all worked fine. ----—original review Much improved over the previous gen Shield controller. For anyone that has one of those I can safely say this is worth the upgrade. Buttons: -They definitely reworked the A B X Y buttons to be more firm. They are not mushy and are feel more solid than the previous generation. -The L2, R2 triggers are more like the Sony PS4 controller triggers now, and have a good response to them. -The Analog sticks are much improved and are not slippery like the previous gen was (I had to use PS4 stick covers so my fingers wouldn't slip on the previous gen controller). It feels more like an Xbox analog stick for grip. -The power "touch pad" is gone and replaced with a physical power "button" that you push down to turn on... Thank you Nvidia this was much needed. -The DPAD... my one hope was that they would improve this, and they did. The previous gen was mushy and made it hard to play emulators. I am happy to say that this is like the Xbox One S or Elite controller DPAD. Each direction on mine is clicky and very responsive. Feel: -This controller has a cold metallic feel, and the build quality is night and day compared to the creaky old controller. -The smaller form factor of the controller feels nicer in your hand (my personal preference). Connection and Latency: -I am OCD for controllers and controller lag. I have compared this against 2 previous gen Shield controllers, a Moga Power, Gamesir G3s and G4s, and the Xbox one S controller. My biggest worry with them going to Bluetooth from the previous Wifi Direct was input latency increasing. I am happy to report that when I was doing my tests the controller appears to be on par with the Wifi Direct previous gen. I saw no noticeable latency doing jumps in Mario and other emulator games. For comparison, the Moga Power has tons of input latency and should be avoided. ... show more
