AceGamer Aurora II 2.4G Wireless Bluetooth Controller for PC/Android/Switch/iOS/Switch 2/Steam Deck with Rotary Motors, RGB Hall Effect Joysticks – Upgraded PC Gaming Controller and Back Buttons Lock

Great Alternative to Xbox controller
Still rather new in my inventory but I am really liking this controller. I’ve only used it in Bluetooth mode so far on both PC, Windows and Linux, as well as on Steam Deck. Works great, offers all the same bells and whistles of the Xbox controllers but in what feels like a lighter package. The whole thing feels comfortable for long play throughs. It has added features and capabilities I honestly don’t use so for the price getting more is a bonus. Battery life seems to be very long, I haven’t drained it once yet but honestly I have charged it a few times so I really don’t have a feel for how close to drained I’ve gotten. Buttons feel good, rumble/vibration is good, the host of options to connect is good. If this thing out last my expectations for a lower cost controller I would gladly give it extremely and highly recommendations. But because it hasn’t lived with me long enough yet. All I can say is first impressions are extremely good. For now I’m just going to see how long it lives before issues creep up. Updates to this review will be for negative changes. No updates means it is a solid product.

Almost perfect, but this has become my primary wireless controller!
I’ve been using this controller for the past two weeks. It’s almost perfect, but despite the few setbacks, I found it to be more than sufficient for my gaming needs and has become my primary controller.Pros:• Very responsive, even with wireless (with the dongle).• Wireless setup is relatively easy with the dongle.• The controller automatically turns off if unused to preserve battery life.• The stick sensitivity is top notch. Previous third party controllers had issues registering diagonal pushes on the sticks, but this has a setting that avoids dead zones.• It has a very robust set of features:- Two additional buttons on the left and right handles that you can customize or disable completely with a button lock on the controller itself.- Customizable LED colors that you can cycle through: Blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, or rainbow- Turbo function (up to 3 speeds)- This is a must for me: You can set the trigger depth to stop at mid-press, which is ideal for fighting games or other games that do not require an analog input, or for my use case, Marvel Rivals.- Toggle no dead zones on both stick for added precision.• Lastly, all of the above customizations do not require any third party software to be installed! Just hold on to the manual or scan it digitally for future reference. Lose the manual, lose the customizations! Because the button combinations for these features are not very intuitive.Cons:• Battery life is on the shorter side, so pay attention to the LED indicator and plug the controller to a USB power source to keep your play uninterrupted.• The reason why I gave it a 4-star instead of a 5: Occasionally, pairing the controller with the wireless dongle requires repeat attempts. Sometimes the device will search for the dongle indefinitely. Other times you would need to remove and reinsert the dongle. There are workarounds and it’s always a good idea to make sure the controller is wirelessly connected before starting your game, so this is more of an inconvenience than a major problem.• When the controller turns off, it occasionally loses memory of whether it’s paired, and what previous settings have been made. You may need to redo the custom settings (turbo, no dead zones) when this happens.• There is no LED indicator showing that the turbo function is enabled, or what state the turbo setting is on, whether on a “hold to activate” or “single press auto-fire.” You activate turbo by pressing turbo + the button of choice, activate auto-fire by pressing turbo + the button again, and deactivate turbo by pressing turbo + the button a third time. Without an LED indicator, there’s no way to tell which state the turbo setting is on. This is critical if you need to activate / deactivate turbo in the heat of gameplay.• There is no LED indicator showing whether the no dead zones setting is active, and it’s hard to tell during gameplay. You just need to enable it and hope that it is active.• The button combinations for enabling the features are not very intuitive, so DO NOT lose the instructions manual! Make sure to keep it for ready reference, scan it and keep it handy in Google Docs or Google Keep, or just note the common settings you need (see my notes below).Common usages:• Pair with wireless dongle: Hold H + A button• Cycle LED colors: Cycle Turbo + ||| button• Enable / disable dead zone: Hold Turbo + L stick button, or R stick button• Turbo speed: Hold Turbo + flick up / down R stick to increase / decrease speed (from 3x to 20x speeds)• Turbo function: Turbo + face button- Once: Turbo is activated by holding down the button- Twice: Turbo is activated by a single press of the button- Third press: Turbo is deactivatedOverall, this controller meets my needs and has become my primary controller. The features need some getting used to and pairing may sometimes require repeat attempts, but once it’s connected, you’re good to go.Furthermore, I customized by controller so it has better grips. Doing this made it one of the best controllers in my collection. I used the following that you can also get from Amazon:• Thumbstick grips: AceShot Covert OPS Thumb Grips – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017LEO4OU• Grip tape on the handles: Yorwe Rubber Grip Tape – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX7MTWGR

Good Quality at an Affordable Price
For such a lightweight and affordable controller, I am pleasantly surprised at how great an experience I’ve been having so far! I love that it’s compatible with multiple devices and the instructions are clear on how to pair with each one! The buttons are decently responsive, though I don’t claim to be a tech expert, so I know nothing about pro level vs ametuer level specs, but this controller certainly meets MY needs! And I love how the hall effect hardware doesn’t drift or get sticky! Totally worth the purchase!

Da ich über Steam und Co. mehrere ältere Spiele habe und diese vom Werk aus nur mit einem xBox Controller kompatibel sind, hab ich nach einem passenden Controller gesucht.Diese hat mir optisch und vor allem vom Preis gefallen.Controller wurde unter Windows 10 sofort erkannt und installiert … Mehrere Spiele: Tomb Raider (Remake), Batman Arkham Knight, The Force unleashed werden problemlos unterstützt… Besitze auch einen PS4 Controller, welcher zumindest bei Batman funktionieren sollte, tut ehr jedoch nur bedingt … laufen funktioniert xDJedenfalls sehr zu empfehlen !

AMAZING CONTROLLER 👏🏼
