Very good construction. It has lights when it is in use and can be easily used at night. It has an on/off switch and can be connected to iPhone/Android in 2 modes: one to simulate buttons on the screen and the other as a classic Bluetooth controller for supported applications. When reconnecting with Android, it connects immediately by pressing the home button, provided that you have paired it before. Overall, a very good product for its price, no doubt about it. It also requires Android 6, it works without any issues on a new device with Android 9, while on an old phone with Android 4.4 that I tried, it doesn't even recognize it (which recognizes an older ipega controller that I have perfectly fine). My phone has a 5.2" screen and large bezels at the top and bottom (about 15 cm in total height) and it fits comfortably, possibly with a margin of another 2 cm in height. Also, I would say one downside is that if you happen to need to charge it or want to plug in headphones, the way it embraces the device makes it impossible to do so.

I bought it 4 days ago and the right side with the ABXY buttons broke when it was connected to the phone. 30 minutes before it broke, I had drift on the right joystick. I searched for it on the internet and the problem was that a ribbon cable was not making good contact with the gamepad... If you try to fix it, know that you will DESTROY IT!!! Don't buy anything from this company...

  I bought this controller for Android emulator on my phone, mainly for PPSSPP, and I can say that I am not satisfied. You can't map the buttons and they don't automatically apply to any emulator you try. However, it has good construction, the buttons are comfortable and quiet, and it works on games from the Google Play Store. I tried it on Sonic 1 and it works but it's a mediocre experience. You'll have a better time playing games with tap. This is not the first time I've gotten an iPega controller for my phone, this one is the second I've gotten. I do not recommend controllers from this company.

  In emulator that I use is excellent!!!
  The android emulator sees it as an external controller (amazon fire gamepad) and the preset with which it comes works well in 99% of cases.
  If something seems wrong to you, it allows you to manually map it as you wish.

  The only negative I can find is in the thumbsticks where you feel the vertical and horizontal axis when you circle the stick. You feel the corners and the ends of the potentiometers.
  Also, the left thumbstick tends to come out.
  Not when you use it, but when you play with the dpad and your finger suddenly moves towards the stick.

  The other buttons are ok with good travel and do not seem to stick, but the dpad is somewhat oversensitive.

  In the games that support it on android, the experience is similarly excellent.
  However, not all games support it.
  For those that do not support it natively, you have to disconnect the bluetooth and pair it again in compatibility mode where you basically map each button of the controller to a point on the screen where the virtual button is located...
  I struggled to map pes that I tried and it seemed a bit laggy.

  Nevertheless, the experience on an emulator is so perfect, especially with a powerful mobile phone, and the design copy of the switch is so flawless that it doesn't lose to the ten. Well done ipega!
  I will get a second one because for sure the nieces will dive the first one.

  It works... nice Bluetooth lights... But how does it work? It is not recognized as a controller by any application. It requires another application with a special setup for each app you want to use it with. The setup determines where on the screen to place it to... press... It emulates touches on the screen. I wouldn't have any issues if my phone didn't overheat during use and if it didn't have this monstrous input delay in every game. Some people managed to make it work with FPS games, but I can't... It simply doesn't work with Octopus or Shooting Plus V3. For those it works for, it's good because you save €60 compared to official controllers, but for me, I just wasted my money.

  Good for its price, convenient to hold, the phone is very stable on it, but the build quality is proportional to the money... As soon as I took it out of the box, I realized that the "A" button has a much shorter travel distance than the others, you can barely feel that you are pressing it.

  It was so cheap, and for the money it asked for, it was really great. I had put it on an older Android (Snapdragon 660 processor) as a Nintendo DS emulator and I was perfectly happy, until one day, after a month while I was out, the left thumbstick broke and came off. I never found it and now it's useless. If the money doesn't bother you, it's fine

  Guys, I got it for a MediaTek processor on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T, and it recognized and worked perfectly in standard Android mode. If you have doubts about whether it will work, you are justified, but I took the risk and it works

  Connected to Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, in some games and not in all, it may write under the general characteristics of "PS3, Android, TV box Android", etc., but in TV box Android it is not compatible with any game (from those I tried and I'm talking about simple puzzle games that someone can play with a mouse or the TV box controller), the only thing it does is connect via Bluetooth or cable (USB) to the TV box and you have another controller, that's it and nothing else.
  Attention to those who buy it to make sure if their mobile fits inside this i-pega, mine does not fit (6.67"). I gave the stars because it is relatively well made for the money it costs.

  It is top for emulation, comfortable, and the battery lasts quite a bit - meaning that definitely the phone needs charging first, which is logical with Bluetooth, sound, processor, and graphics at full.
  For the cost (under 30 euros), it is a good purchase and it has earned its money

  I have it for 2-3 years, and it connects easily, works with many games, and for those it doesn't, you can somehow fix the buttons and it will work.
  The battery hasn't impressed me, but it only lasts for about an hour, just saying.
  It is very durable, it has lasted for years, even though it didn't seem like it because the feel in the hand is not as high-quality, but it's manageable. Of course, the left thumbstick came off, but with a little instant glue, it went back in place.

  P.S. In the end, I have the plain model, not the S model, but I looked it up and the only significant difference is the battery, which is better in the S.

  It is exactly what I was looking for. It seems to be well-built and the buttons do not make noise. A potential risk factor for future durability is the mechanism that expands in the middle to accommodate the phone, but time will tell. Its ergonomics are average, as the right joypad is in an uncomfortable position and initially bothered me when pressing the buttons. However, I got used to it over time. Similarly, the triggers, R2 and L2, are in a convenient position, but the same cannot be said for R1 and L1. The battery has not discharged even after a week of use. It is important to mention that the buttons are illuminated, making it convenient for nighttime gaming.

  I struggled a bit with the initial setup. It offers two connection options, direct play and standard mode. Direct play essentially creates virtual taps on the screen. It is useful for games like PUBG, where they try to exclude gamepads. Along with this, the ShootingPlus V3 app works, allowing you to customize the button mappings. The truth is that the experience with Direct mode was not smooth, and I couldn't get PUBG to work properly. Supposedly, there is a shortcut for PUBG mode on the controller that I saw on the internet, but I couldn't get it to work. I assume they may have noticed it and blocked it for PUBG.
  The second option is the one I ended up with, as I mainly play with emulators (ClassicBoy and PPSSPP). So, the Standard Mode recognizes the controller as an external keyboard. It recognizes all the buttons without any issues in emulators (although not in most Android games that primarily use touch), and the configuration can be done either through the emulator's own settings or by using the Octopus app (which allows you to play on Android games as well).
