Review: Great First Leverless Controller - Excellent leverless controller for the price. I bought this to use on a PS5 with Tekken and it works great. If you are planning to use this on a PS5 though, you will need to buy a joystick converter dongle and plug it into the controller otherwise it will disconnect every 7-8 minutes. And when you do go to plug in the dongle, it is a very snug fit.
Review: Great quality - This has been a great entry level controller. I didn’t want to break the bank as I didn’t know if leverless would work for me. It does! And it’s a quality controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great First Leverless Controller

Excellent leverless controller for the price. I bought this to use on a PS5 with Tekken and it works great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality

This has been a great entry level controller. I didn’t want to break the bank as I didn’t know if leverless would work for me. It does! And it’s a quality controller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect..
*by N***R on January 31, 2025*

I am loving this thing. The design the buttons the size it's pretty awesome. However there is an 8 minute time out that occurs when I play. I have updated the latest firmware done everything everyone says to do and still get an 8 minute authentication time out.. it says if you connect an officially licensed Playstation controller that this shouldn't happen but it still does even after I do that.. it's a little frustrating I ordered a separate 40$ haute adapter that I'm really hoping resolves the issue otherwise will have to send both products back sadly. If I can figure the 8 minute time out issue this would be a perfect 5 star rated product for me.. if I figure it out and the adapter I ordered fixes I'll change reviews to 5 stars..
