Thanks for the review. Getting one of these for my tablet. Glad to know it worked well for you, and you enjoy it.

Thanks Nick!🎮👍

Absolutely great review, the best I could find on KZbin. Well done for still responding to people's questions, you don't see that very often.👍

Thanks Bob, much appreciated. I still use mine after a few years use👍🎮

It is. That's the phone I'm using now🎮👍🙂

Awesome have u tried using the controller on the monster hunter freedom unite I just wanna know so I can make the right choice of this controller since I just bought a galaxy z fold 3

I'm sure it'll be fine, every game I've played on ppsspp with this controller is perfect. At 4 times original resolution.

this good for 12 inch tablet ? just because on the box said till 11 inch and when you strech it looks more longer

12 inches is just a bit too big, sorry.

[@rykerbowen4408]

I think I'm pairing it wrong and have been frustrated so hope you can help. How did you pair it with your device. I held down the home button and the light rapidly flashed, then I wait until it makes the connection, via Bluetooth, and then goes solid red: *but none the buttons work after paired in Android and Android v3 mode. How did you get the LED 3 to stay solid red light when paired?

[@JulesBurt]

Sorry, I really can't remember. Mine had a small booklet detailing the pairing process, else, have a look on Google.

[@Mr.madmight266]

This might be a bit of a dumb question but can you use headphones at all while using this controller?

[@JulesBurt]

Not a dumb question at all. Wireless Bluetooth of course but wired, it depends where the headphone jack is on the device you're using.

[@Mr.madmight266]

@@JulesBurt Seems like it's gonna be a problem for me then. By the way i agree, that PSP emulator is very good overall. Hell you can even emulate emulators that where made for the PSP. Sadly not all of them work properly. Picodrive (a megadrive emulator) has screen display issues for example. Oh well.

Hi! Planning to buy this for my 11 inch tablet. Just wanted to ask if there is padding on the sides where you insert the tablet or phone. Im just worried that it might scratch my device when i put it inside. Thank you!
