   The biggest things with this are no rumble in the controller and the buttons are huge in the rear making it tough to hold

   It’s light and it looks nice, my first controller with paddles, I bought solely for my SteamDeck when it’s docked to my TV…have not tried it yet.
   It has everything, well almost everything, except rechargeable batteries👎😒
   I’ll update later as soon as I use it.✌😎

   Pros:
   -For the money, this controller is a 5/5
   -paddles\back buttons
   -programmable on the fly
   -no software on my computer
   -swappable sticks, need I say more.

   Cons:
   -programmable back buttons are somewhat restrictive
   >The small back buttons map to face buttons (A, X, Y, B) and the paddles only map to LB, RB, LT, RT, LS, RS. these are the only way to program the paddles an trigger.
   -not super ergonomic. Makes using certain buttons aquard to use at times (strangely enough the standard bumpers feel the worst to use, but I map them to the paddles anyway, just be aware.)
   -AA BATERIES! but you can plug it in directly with the pretty nice cord they send

   Conclusion:
   Pretty nice for the price. My main concern was the joysticks dying quickly (like the more expensive ones I’ve tried), but it’s already outperformed my expectations at purchase 5\5

   Decent for the cost, but not durable.
   I’m a pretty hardcore gamer. I got this for playing rocket league and after a little over a year, and several hundred hours, it developed stick drift, so I upgraded to a better controller.

   I really like that it has the back paddles, although their customization options are limited, but the paddles are very awkwardly positioned. In particular, the lower paddles are very large and make it quite difficult to comfortably grip the controller at the bottom. I found that this felt extremely uncomfortable for a while, but eventually acclimated to it. still, I never really liked it.

   Given the weirdness of the grip you need to use for this, I’d only recommend this as a controller that only you plan to use; this isn’t one that you’ll really be able to share with your friends.

   Precise controls, but I get a BSOD when unplugging it from PC

   The good
   The controller feels good in the hands and I like the option to swap out the joysticks with either convex or concave sticks. The buttons are responsive and feel good

   The bad
   The triggers have a huge length of pull and it’s hard to feel when they actually engage. The top bumpers feel just slightly off from what I’m used to (genuine Xbox 1 controllers)

   Additional information
   I am unable to use the extra paddles in modern warfare, vanguard, warzone (pc). The system recognizes xbox elite controllers but the game does not register the extra buttons for this controller. Very disappointed but that’s not Bionok’s fault for that, just something to be aware of. Also it would not turn on with my rechargeable AA’s

   Where did this little gem of a controller come from? And how come I’ve never heard of this company before?

   I saw this while randomly searching for pc game controllers, and decided to take a chance on it. Glad I did. It’s great.

   It does loosely resemble an Xbox Elite controller. There are four buttons/paddles on the back, and the layout and shape are Xbox-like. The analog sticks can be swapped out with taller ones, and rather than use magnets, these attach by screwing them in. There is a disc style d-pad that actually feels pretty good, but it can’t be removed and replaced with a cross like the Xbox Elite. The analog sticks feel and work very well, with little to no noticeable dead zone, and the triggers have incredibly smooth action and feel very close to the Xbox One controllers. There are no trigger stops on this controller, however.

   I’ve been using this as my main PC controller. It’s pretty solid. I was a bit upset that the back buttons couldn’t be programmed to just anything, you have a switch that chooses which button it copies. Most times I leave it on the L3 and R3 setting with the other two changing from game to game. I like how you also included different kinds of joy sticks, they are easily switched. I was kinda hoping you guys would sell replacement joysticks, maybe ones with more customization, different style grips, or something. I worry that I’ll loose the spare if the ones I use ever break.
