SpeedlinkStrike NX Wireless Gamepad for PC, Black (SL-650100-BK)

just great! charging it right now! :)Edit: man they lied about the battery times, this thing literally does not die, I have it for a long time now, and the thing just keeps going, for like 5 or 6 days without charging, when I need to charge I can charge and play as well, I'm gonna order another one! :D

The media could not be loaded. I really wanted to like this controller. Out of the box it felt really well made and the ergonomics were great for larger hands.The battery life was really good. I got 3 days of playing time from a single charge.The buttons were really stiff. So stiff it was hard to make button presses.It did work with everything I tested it with.I purchased and tested it with a retro-pie setup and it connected and worked well with no issues at first.I also tested it with PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Other than stiff buttons I really thought this was going to be a keeper.After about a week of use the controller would randomly die or lose its connection even though I was only a foot away from the receiver.This loss of connection issue is completely random and I cannot seem to duplicate it at will.It started happening more often even with a full charge.This makes the controller completely useless for me.Maybe I got a dud but this issue has made me begin my search for another controller for my retro-pie setup.I will return and hope to find an even better controller.

looks better in person.. I JUST hope the vibration is more intense

I got the controller i the mail today. I tested it out for an hour on an emulator. I haven't tried out the analog sticks yet but the control is very comfortable and seems well built.

If you buy this guys you’re just taking a gambleI bought this wasn’t in a position to return itBoth the movement controls didn’t workLooks like my money went down the drain

Seems like a nice controller. They used one of those horrible micro USB ports for charging. Not long later, that port broke inside. Can't use it without charging. I'm pretty good at fixing things so I opened it up and found that I could add a different socket to at least be able to use it. Well the (questionable) designer made the red wire negative and the black positive. So when I hooked up the wires the way every convention in the world uses (red +, black -) it didn't work and I fried the board. Using a magnifying glass I discovered the markings on the board and it was reversed. Too bad I didn't look for that first instead of assuming that red was positive like every other device in the world uses.

Opinión editada tras un año de uso.Es muy atractivo a la vista. Pequeño, más parecido al de Playstation que al de Xbox. La cruceta digital funciona fenomenal, ideal para juegos de lucha, a diferencia del mando oficial de X360 o el de XOne, que parece que en Microsoft no saben que existen otros géneros aparte de los Shooters.El acceso a los botones Start y Back es un poco engorroso porque alargando los pulgares desde la posición de agarre del mando habitual, molestan un poco los sticks analógicos, al estar muy cerca de Start y Back. En cualquier caso no me parece un impedimento que deteriore la experiencia de control.El GRAN FALLO de estos mandos son los gatillos analógicos L2 y R2. Tras unos meses, lo más probable es que alguno (o ambos) de ellos se rompan. Y lo dice alguien que cuida sus mandos especialmente, siempre los trato con cuidado y sin forzar botones o sticks. Sin embargo, con un uso normal del mando, a los pocos meses me saltó el gatillo derechode mi mando principal (compré 4 iguales). Me di cuenta que, en alguno de los otros 3 mandos, los gatillos estaban en proceso también de romperse (al hacer el juego de pulsación se nota que no lo hace bien.Además he visto un vídeo por youtube en el que alguien hacía una reseña y comentaba el mismo problema de los gatillos.Lamentablemente, es un fallo muy importante y la causa de que cambie mi valoración de 5 estrellas a un suspenso. Es una lástima, por lo demás, el mando me había convencido totalmente.En fin, sigo en busca del mando adecuado...

Ich hab es jetzt seit ein paar Tagen und bin im großen ganzen sehr zufrieden. Ich finde, es ist das beste Gamepad, das Speedlink bisher rausgebracht hat. Ich hatte vorher auch das Strike FX und das Xeox, doch mag ich dieses noch viel mehr.Es wird direkt erkannt nach Installation der Treiber und funktioniert markellos. Das Wiederverbinden funktioniert auch einwandfrei. Ich erwähne das deshalb, weil ich auch mal das Logitech F710 hatte und das bei dem nicht der Fall war. Es liegt auch schön in der Hand und lässt sich einfach gut bedienen.Das Einzige, was ich ein wenig bemängele, das Steuerkreuz hätte man etwas präziser machen können. Und zwar muss man ein wenig Feingefühl dafür mitbringen, denn wenn man zum Beispiel nach rechts lenkt, kann man leicht auch nach schräg unten oder oben lenken.

Bonne manette pour son design et sa portée, par contre la manette se deconnecte sans raisons de temps à autre pendant le jeu.

This gamepad is incredible. It feels very comfortable to hold in the hands and is solidly built, all the buttons are well placed and aren't loose. There is minimal to no deadzones in the analogue sticks and bumper buttons, but obviously there has to be some in case the buttons are pressed by accident.The vibration is very strong, more stronger than what I have felt on the ps3 controller. To change between Xinput and Direct input you have to keep hold of the mode button for a few seconds, it's very easy. GTA V detected the gamepad no problems, it was just plug and play. The battery life is good so far, I have been playing for about 5 hours with vibration on and the battery is still going strong.EDIT: After a few weeks of use, the left bumper button has started to squeak when pressed, and the right bumper button has become very loose and has started to make a clicking sound.It's a shame really as it's comfortable in the hand and has a nice look to it.EDIT: 22/06/2015I originally gave the game pad 5 stars and then later edited the review and gave it 2 stars due to the issues. Now I am giving this 4 stars as the some things have fixed themselves.The bumper button squeaking and clicking has fixed itself, I don't know how but there is no more noise coming from them. The bumper buttons have become looser than before but it seems that they won't get any looser than this. The battery life is also holding up pretty good, I am getting about 2 weeks of battery life with full charge, this is with gaming around an hour a day.

This gamepad is best in this price segment if you don't like the configuration or design of Xbox controller as its design is based on PS controller. analog sticks are very responsive and very good for precise controlling but both trigger are spongy or say when you press them its feel like you are pressing a sponge and its very annoying. I have used this gamepad from 5 meter distance and there is no signal drop but only problem is that there should be no obstacle between controller and receiver even a water bottle can disconnect you connection with your Pc.there is no switch off switch but its programmed to go to standby after 5 mins of no use and take less then a second to reconnect which is very good and battery backup and vibration are one of the best i have seen in a wireless gamepad at this price range.its very light weight when compared to other controller but material is totally plastic so not recommended to a hardcore gamepad gamer.also its xinput and direct input and very hassle free to change input method but you can't change the input mode while you are in a gameEdit:- gamepad stopped working after 3 months and customer support is not replying so I would not refer any one to buy this gamepad its just waste of money
