KINOEE IPEGA PG-9087s Bluetooth Gaming Controller Dual Motor Turbo Gamepad for Android/iOS for iOS iPhone,iPad, Android Phone, Smartphone / Tablet / Smart TV / Set Top Box

I use this primarily to play emulators on my phone, while this does not feel as good in the hands as some other controllers, its substantially more portable and convenient to travel with. The analog sticks were a bit thin, small, and not very grippy, so i put on some switch joycon analog caps on them, used some super glue, they work and feel great now. However, this play seems to be in the controllers deadzone, so it dose not give any extra inputs, the play is very minor, very subtle. The quality is superb, it feels very solid and not cheap or plastics, the turbo button i could do without. My biggest complaint, is, the dpad is mushy, it does not click, it does not pivot, you can push all 4 inputs at once. Im not normally one to care about this, but for fighting games, or games that rely heavily on the dpad you can get incorrect inputs, or even worse, sprite errors and game bugs due to certain games not being designed for 2+ directional inputs at once. Would recomend this brand, their controllers are great for a low price point, albeit with minor issues.

My low star rating here is NOT about the device itself, but rather the selling of it without all the relevant, current, information needed. All the info and reviews I read about this item made it sound awesome, so I bought one for my daughter who plays Fortnite on her iPhone 7. We followed every instruction in the very limited manual, managed to get the iPhone to see the gamepad, and connect to it. But, although connected via Bluetooth, the game pad still does not work. There was no mention of this issue in the product info, and I can't find any way around this, other than to revert my daughter's iPhone to the previous iOS, which Apple do mot support. I have written to all companies concerned, and have had not one single reply!

I've had this for a few weeks, feels very nice in the hands, good size and well made, no problems so far. It's great for twin stick shooters like PUBG or COD, also good for Pro Evolution Soccer and Street Fighter, most games where they put buttons in regions of the screen. I wasn't able to get it to work as a controller in games like Final Fantasy or X-COM. These games are supposed to let you move a cursor around by pressing the buttons on the controller, you can't use this controller to do that. Doesn't have an option to play games in portrait mode that I could find, so I can't play stuff like Mario Kart where the screen supposed to be in portrait. Works well with an iPhone XR but I wasn't able to do anything with it on my Mac.

The controller feels okay and holds my phone well. the bluetooth connects nice and quickly. I will admit I'm am having an issue with a control stick but I'm in discussions with the seller to hopefully solve this.

Positives + Solid device, well built + Software, although rated poorly on app store, worked well on my Android 10 Xiaomi phone. You can use this to map the game pad to any game + Fits phone size of 6.5 inches with case on, and room to spare for an even bigger phone + Arrives charged out the box + I did not find any issues of comfort with the analog sticks, contrary to other reviews + Came with instructions that match another review, and unlike some reviews stating that there were no instructions + The software has presets for some (I am guessing) more common modern games Drawbacks - Not exactly plug and play, but it works and you can adjust its profile to match your games. Played with PPSSPP (Manhunt 2) and GTA SA and LCS, however all of these required mapping by myself before being able to use the control - Mentions a lanyard / wrist strap that should have been included, but wasn't. I should note the box was completely sealed, so I do not know what happened - Vibrate function doesn't work, despite me trying numerous times - There are multiple lights which I guess mean modes, named 1 to 4, but honestly I cannot find anywhere (manual or software) as to what these means. Mine stayed stuck on one Overall, the positives outweigh the negatives. It's a cool little inexpensive device, and makes playing games much more fun. You won't be disappointed for what it is.

works great out of the box. I use it mostly with ppsspp, but it works with other emulators i tried (retroarch, pizzaboy,etc). I dont do playstore games, so cant comment on that. i notice that sometimes the left stick gets stuck, but nothing major. i prefer to use the D-pad anyway. And for the price/joy it brings you really cant complain. Sometimes i hit the fastfrwd button by accident, not sure if its just me. Is it the same as the real psp? No. but its much cheaper than fixing my old psp. Plastic quality is good for el cheappo :) but nothing like proper hardware. Make sure to charge it for a few hours before first use. You can also use with the phone vertical for that gameboy feel. Would recommend!

Positives - build quality was way better than expected. Connection to Bluetooth was quick and easy but... as soon as you try to use it, it hits you with a warning that it will not working on the current iOS. Tried a few work arounds and it’s just plain not working.

Really disappointed, this device is not compatible with latest iOS, and there was no indication of this. Product details simply say compatible with version 11 and up. I had to find out the hard way. Otherwise build quality is good and it holds the phone secure, I was really looking forward to this. Such a let down. The only option would be to downgrade iOS to an earlier version (if still supported) and risk loosing data not backed up. **UPDATE** Having since looked into it, apparently the issue here is with iOS 13.4 Bluetooth compatibility issues, this has effected other brands such as GameSir. This should still be updated on the product details by the seller. I have added a star and urge you to consider this one when looking to purchase. May work fine for android users or those on a lower iOS
