PowerA MOGA XP5-X Plus Bluetooth Controller for Mobile & Cloud Gaming on Android/PC

This is my new favorite controller. TL;DR if you're looking for the best all-around controller that you can comfortably use on Android/Windows/Linux, this is the one.I do a lot of gaming on Windows, Android, and PC and this works very well for all of those use cases.First - the controller has a massive battery. I understand that this is intended to be used as a battery bank as well, but it has the benefit of just never dying. After the initial charge, I've used it for several weeks for several hours a day. How much battery do I have left? 70%. 3000 mAh in a controller. Three times the amount of a DS4 without the pesky LED.The analog sticks are great. The grips on the sticks grip your fingers really well, and they feel very similar to the original Xbox One controller. They are very precise, I played through Outer Worlds with no issue on the sticks.The face buttons are fine, as expected. The shoulder buttons are a but mushier than the original xbox controller - feel kind of like those membrane "mechanical" keyboards. I really like them, my roommates do not. I did find myself accidentally pressing the triggers at times, but I think that's more because I am used to a DS4 controller.The d-pad is incredible. I wouldn't use it for fighting games, but for absolutely everything else it's very good. Better than the xbox one, better than the DS4, better than the switch pro - just a really nice feeling d-pad. It passes my emulation and dead cells tests with flying colors.Clicking the analog sticks in is extremely tacticle and kind of loud. I'm not a *huge* fan of that but those that I give the controller love it- but it doesn't matter because:The buttons on the back are super useful, and remapping them is very quick. I hate it when games use stick click in for sprint, but it doesn't matter because I can just remap the stick click in to a back button. You can remap them to any of the other controller buttons on the fly. Want to use a face button with both hands on the analog sticks still? Go for it. Hate moving your hands off the triggers? Yeah sure, remap them to bumpers. I've had no accidental presses of them and pressing the back buttons are extremely satisfying.Before we get into platform specifics, let's talk about the clip. This is the best phone clip. It articulates with multiple joints, so you can get the weight distribution just right. I thought I wanted a switch-style telescopic kind of layout for my phone, now I don't care. You can put the phone in front of the controller if you want to get it closer to your face, you can float it above at any angle. It's just an amazing clip. The cutouts for your volume rocker or whatever other button is just icing on the cake. Playing in wired mode is great. I haven't used the battery bank feature yet, but I'm sure it works fine.This controller also shuts off automatically pretty fast but is super quick to pair, making battery last super long. You can also just flip it into wired mode to shut it down if you were using it wirelessly, which is awesome.Let's talk about platforms:Android is just plug and play in both bluetooth and not. Pairing is very simplistic and doesn't involve you holding down any painful buttons for a long time. I switch from android back to my computer a lot and the simpler pairing than any first party controller is much appreciated. As stated earlier, the clip is incredible. I have the Razer Kishi as well, and I like this controller and clip combo more than the Kishi.PC is a bit of a mixed back, but not if you know what you're doing. If you only play on steam, then just enable generic controller support and steam picks this up just fine. Note that you can't remap the back buttons to keyboard keys, but that's not a big deal for me personally.This controller on Windows is a DINPUT controller, meaning a lot of non-steam games won't pick it up innately- namely gamepass games rarely pick this up. There's a program that you can use called "Xoutput" that allows you to remap the dinput controller inputs to xinput instead, hence being able to use it with most games. I've had zero problems with this method. Playing with the controller in wired mode (with it's included generously long cable) also just puts the controller in xinput mode, so if you're only planning on playing it on Windows in wired mode, you shouldn't need to use the program. If you're only planning on using this with steam games, you won't do anything either. The only issue I've encountered on Windows is that after rebooting I have to repair the controller. Not a huge deal since pairing this controller is easier than any other pairing I've been through with controllers, and I do it all the time to switch back and forth from android anyway.Linux picks up the controller just fine with no issues. Back buttons work, etc.I've been super happy with this purchase and have used the controller everywhere since buying it. I haven't used any of my other controllers even in games where it would make sense because this is just too convienent.

Wow, this thing works awesomely! I use it mostly for my mobile android emulators for NES, SNES, PS1, and it has quick response, no lag and never gets confused on command inputs. Quick bluetooth connection. All the buttons are firm and have no stickiness problems. Very high quality feel to everything. The locking phone holder clip insures that the phone doesn't flip or move when playing. I usually play on my phone while lying down, and my old gamepad had problems with the clip swinging down. This clip doesn't do that at all. The most impressive thing is the battery. Im not lying or embellishing on any of this. On its first charge, I played for roughly 5 hours a day, every day, for a full month before I had to charge it again. I couldn't believe it. Why can't they make regular Xbox and Playstation controllers last this long? Honestly, it took quite a long time to charge it, about 6 hours, but considering the incredibly long battery capacity lifespan, such a thing is expected. The battery indicator is also helpful. I waited for days before I even saw ONE of its four lights go out to indicate battery drain. I'm still only on its second charge in three months. I will update this review later, when I charge it again, and I will time my gameplay and check when it needs charging again and calculate the hours, and I'll write how long it actually lasts. But I just guarantee that it will be a really long time, so please be patient for that update to come out. Maybe next late year sometime, lol. Awesome controller all around. I have not yet checked it for use on PC though, but I'll get around to that, and include that in my update. As far as android games, especially the popular emulators, it works great. Android Emulators used: John NESS (NES, SNES), John GBC (Nintendo Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance), FPSE (PS1), MD.emu (Sega Master System, Sega Genesis).

En oferta y funciona de maravilla, recomendado para jugar en línea

Kopplung, Handhabung, Steuerung funktioniert einwandfrei! Wir benutzen Sie am PC und am Fire TV Stick 4K mit Amazon Luna und Xbox Cloudgaming, auch der Fire Stick lässt sich mühelos mit dem Controller bedienen! Ist sein Geld Wert! Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen!

Simply perfect. I'd been eyeing this up for a while and I confirm that all of the positive reviews are correct. Feels solid in the hand, connected quickly and not to mention a power bank to charge your phone!!! This thing is a powerhouse.My biggest concern was the phone clip as I have a Note20 Ultra and tend to use Otterboxes, and was worried I would need to take the case off every time I wanted to game. Not the case! This fits my Note20 Ultra with an Otterbox Commuter no problem and even still has a bit of extra room so the specs provided by the seller are most definitely conservative. If you're considering Xbox gamepass,, this is a must have item.

Never really got a good gaming experience with xbox cloud, and this controller is really tied to that specific platform. Not much else I can do with it now.

Appena arrivato, subito provato 🤣 nonostante sia un usato da 30€ nella confezione non manca niente, non ci sono segni o graffi, e dopo averlo accoppiato al telefono ha funzionato senza fronzoli sia con GEFORCE NOW che con Real Racing su Android. Con tutto il supporto e il cellulare montato il peso é ben bilanciato e comodo. Per ora sono già soddisfatto, se dura nel tempo é da 10 e lode 😉AGGIORNAMENTO: eccellente anche su PC (ha sia la modalità DInput che XInput), confermo che con il battery bank integrato é andato avanti con Real Racing 3 su cellulare impostato ad alte prestazioni (realme 7 5g) per oltre 5 ore senza problemi. A 30€ mi sa che ci ho guadagnato io 🤣 VOTO 110 con bacio accademico 👍🏻
