For The Hands of Children?
It's a decent wireless controller. I Xbox 360 PC controller feels more comfortable to handle.Pros:1. Wireless2. Built in battery3. Lasts up to 4 to 5 hours4. Don't notice input lag5. PriceCons:1. Doesn't function with just a USB cable. (Like, if you plug the cable in and use it as a wired controller, and then unplug the wireless dongle, it becomes useless.)2. Only Wireless3. The LT and RT buttons feel like they're being pushed in too deep4. The back grip of the controller can feel cramped for people with bigger hands

Controller Documentation Not Included in The Package
Let me start this review by saying my previous level of video game experience was back in the days of "Pong".After nearly 50 years of surviving in the real world, I decided to immerse myself in the video entertainment industry dueto the amazing advancement in 3-D graphical development and presentation of these video games. The creators of thesegames are on par with what Hollywood does in the major motion picture.fantasy genre, often times exceeding it. Now backto the review.I purchased this controller because I joined the Steam game platform and wanted to be able to enjoy a game that offers thecontroller feature to interact with it. Believe it or not, I though all modern video games offer the controller feature but as Ilearned later, they do not. Since this Dragonwar wireless controller is Xbox 360 compatible, I figured it was a good choice.When the package arrived, it contained everything I needed to use it except for one thing: documentation! For example:1. How do I turn it on and off?2. What is the purpose of the four LED lights?3. How do I know when the unit is fully charged?4. Is there a warranty and for how long?I searched for the manufacture's website and found it here: http://www.dragonwar.jp/support-detail.php?id=6 and sent an emailrequesting the information. They got back to me the next day and here is the response:1. Connect one end of the USB cable provided with the package to the unit and the other end to a USB port on a computer that is up and running. It does not matter if the USB port is a 2.0, 3.0, etc. This step is necessary to charge the unit's internal battery. The time to fully charge the battery is 2 - 3 hours.The lights are labeled LED1, LED2, LED3, LED4 from left to right as the unit is held in its operating position.2. If the dongle (USB receiver) is not connected to another USB port, the LED lights operate as follows: A. As the unit charges, all four LED lights will flash. B. When the unit is fully charged, all four LED lights will stay lit steady.3. If the dongle (USB receiver) is connected to another USB port, the LED lights operate as follows: A. As the unit charges, only LED1 will flash when the middle Dragon button is toggled to the "digital" mode. B. As the unit charges, only LED1 and LED2 will flash when the Dragon button is toggled to the "analog" mode (for older PC games). C. When the unit is fully charged, only LED1 will stay lit steady, when the middle Dragon button is toggled to the "digital" mode. D. When the unit is fully charged, only LED1 and LED2 will stay lit steady, when the middle Dragon button is toggled to the "analog" mode (for older PC games).So basically while the dongle is connected to a computer, the LED1 (or LED2) flash when the unit is in "charge" mode. When the two lights arelit steady, the unit is fully charged. In order to toggle the Dragon button between analog and digital mode, the button must be pressed down for5 seconds.I am going to follow up with the manufacture because my questions about turning the unit on or off or the warranty were not answered.As far as using the controller during game play, I am having trouble configuring the button features to work on the Steam game platform. I've contacted Steam support (difficult to do, but that's another issue) and await their answer which I will then post to this discussion.

Import Treasure!
The Dragonwar Shock Ultimate is an import design meant to be pushed to the Philippines from China.One of the most comfortable budget controllers I've ever used! Read the review for more details though.I love obscure controllers that work well but are very undiscovered, it's usually how I enjoy everything.For the people who are wondering why they can never find it on here or you're only finding refurbished ones, this controller seems to have only had a limited quantity run unfortunately.This controller is an absolute treat! It feels extremely good in the hands, & is usable with just about anything you can plug it into (apart from Xbox consoles). Plug the USB dongle into a PlayStation 3 and it'll immediately set the player number and work right away.As soon as it arrived I stuck the USB dongle in and the controller detected in no time flat, it worked no issue with Dolphin and was super reactive.This controller is comparable to the Asus TV500BG without a battery pack and PlayStation styled pad layout.Anyone who's used to the Xbox style of controllers can jump into this no problem and find comforting enjoyment with it. I compare it to the TV500BG because it's very similar with its feel though more accurate, while the TV500BG sticks have more sensitivity than other controllers, Dragonwar Shock Ultimate is accurate to other controllers in its range.I would suggest picking this controller up if you can find a refurbished model, it's a true hidden gem of a controller with its comfort, build, & just pure gorgeous look to it, I'm a sucker for orange.If you want to use it on Android, buy a USB to MicroUSB adapter and it should work fine.

Do Not Buy!!!!!!
I have had this controller for 1 month, thats right, only one month, and as of this morning it will no longer connect to its usb dongle. VERY DISAPPOINTING. It worked great for the month it worked. my a more reliable controller.

Packs a Punch for the Price
Packs a punch for the price, very nice feel to the controller and almost as good as a PS4 or Xbox One controller. The controller looks great, the only minor issues I have with it is the LT and RT buttons work a little weird and the right joystick is a bit too sensitive. Overall great controller.

Otherwise this controller has worked great, and for $25 I frankly didn't expect it ...
Absolutely worth it for the price. Get this if you need a controller but you're on a budget.I bought this controller just under 1 year ago, and it is just now starting to show some minor problems. The left trigger is starting to stick, and I sometimes get a dead spot on the left analog stick. Otherwise this controller has worked great, and for $25 I frankly didn't expect it to last as long as it has. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I usually break out the controller at least once every few days, so it's possible that someone who plays more often will see these problems arise sooner. For a casual player though, this is perfect.
