T3 Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Gamepad Gaming Controller for Android Smartphone (WHITE)

I'm cheap, and I'm a parent of 4 kids. So for gaming, I have a FireTV Stick and cheap game controllers. I have two of these and two other similar models ( Kosda Bluetooth Wireless Game Controller Gamepad Joystick for Smart Phones/Tablets/TVs/TV boxes  and  A-szcxtop Bluetooth Gamepad Controller Support for Android Pad/Phone/SmartBox/ Smart TV/PC ) and they all work fine for my purposes. Our family can play 4-way Beach Buggy Racing and Bomb Squad and it provides entertainment.This controller paired right up with the FireTV Stick for me following the right procedure, which can be found online (basically add a bluetooth game controller on FireTV / Hold "Home" button on controller to put into pairing mode). Since this controller can be set up for use in different ecosystems, you do have to choose the right mode. For FireTV, the single light around the Home button has to be on the bottom left. By default once paired, mine showed up on the bottom right and the controller was unresponsive. You change this easily by pressing Home and X at the same time, which cycles through the modes / lights. I have noticed that the D-Pads don't seem to do anything on the FireTV - not sure if this is a setting I need to change or just the way it is. The joystick, triggers, and A / B / C / D buttons do seem to work fine, which works for us.I'm sure if you're REALLY gaming, you wouldn't be happy with this controller at all. It's fairly light and buttons are a little "mushy". However, I was able to buy 4 controllers for the price of 1 "good" game controller. And my kids and I have plenty of fun driving our Beach Buggy cars with these cheap game controllers on our super-laggy FireTV Stick. Definitely worth the ten to fifteen bucks if you're on a tight budget.

I got this controller for the Samsung Gear VR experience using my Note5 Duos.My impression is that the controller Looks fine, Feels nice, but can be confusing to get working properly. When I first set this Controller up, only the analog sticks would work. After tinkering around with it, It now works very well (with the exception of the start button not always working on accession. If you are having trouble setting it up so that all the buttons work, try this:First, hold both the X and HOME button down at the same time. (The lights around the HOME Button should start flashing)Second, Disconnect then reconnect the controller from your phones Bluetooth. (when the controller is connected again, move to the next step.)Third, before putting your phone into the VR, check and see if your phone reacts to pressing each button on the controller.If correctly applied, The following should happen: (Keep in mind this is what I am seeing on my Samsung Note5 [Default Theme Applied])The D-Pad and Left Analog Stick should form a blue border around an apps on your phones home screen. They should also allow you to move the selected boarder from app to app. (like if you use your Keyboard to select something on a PC.)A & START, open whatever app is Currently selected (via the blue selecting border.)B, acts as the Back ButtonX, brings you to the Apps drawer.Every Other button will likely seem to do nothing at the moment, but it should work while in game play.If the buttons are not reacting as noted above, try going to; Settings, Bluetooth, Bluetooth GamePad settings, then turn off Text Input.This doesn't seem to work 100% of the time, but it’s the only thing that I have found works to make the controller fully functional.I took the controller apart and took some photos of the inside for your pleasure.

Got it on time and tried it out at first I couldn't get it to pair... Why. Well maybe because I didn't read the manual it.. but after looking at the manual it clearly states how to make this controller pair ...works with all my emulators such as PLAYSTATION 1,GAMEBOY ADVANCE,NINTENDO DS,And NINTENDO SNES haven't tried it in games from the playstore just yet since I mostly deal with emulators but so far it works .. a little on the downside the controllers d pad is kinda weird to use at least to me I stick with joystick it's a little to small but u can still play... Overall it works and would buy it again

I purchased this gamepad for the sole reason to use it with my Samsung Gear VR. I did some research on other controllers, most a lot more expensive than this one which is what made me decide to pull the trigger on this one. I figured with Amazon having such an outstanding return policy, if it was incompatible with the Gear VR, I would just return it. I am happy to report that this controller does everything I wanted it to. Its an Xbox controller clone that just works. I was able to pair it with my Samsung Galaxy S7 and it performed flawlessly with Gear VR apps.

Works perfectly and tested on Note 3, Note 5, and Galaxy S4Make sure its in game mode 1 or 3 (same lighting style as Xbox controllers) or it will not work properly with your phone. Read the manual (which I lost)

Again this was one of my good purchase I had from Amazon and the controller is as it was defined. Though I have used this rarely, I and My kid had no issues with it.We have used this on Fire Stick and was able to pair it easily.

Took a while to pair it with my Droid Turbo but it works.

Even after trying solutions I found online it doesn't work at all, so in all, never buying any cheap random Chinese garbage again
