MOBAPAD ChiTu Wireless Pro Controller for Switch, Hall Effect Joystick, HD Rumble, Mecha-Tactile Action Buttons, 2 Programmable Back Buttons, NFC, Wake-up Console, Motion Controls, APP

Been using this for 6 months now. It's a flawless controller and perfect for my needs. I use this controller for speedruns and it has not let me down. The D-Pad is tactile as it should be, the sticks are hall-effect with metal rings to prevent degradation, and the buttons are flat making it easy to slide fingers across them.I can't understate how much I LOVE this controller. It's the right amount of tactile and responsive, comfortable in the hands, and very affordable. The only thing I don't really like is the app isn't very accessible and annoying to use. The controller itself though, MOBAPAD really knocked it out of the part with this one. Will be buying more, but really wish the joysticks had octagonal gates.

The media could not be loaded. The packaging was completely adequate. The instruction booklet is fine. The English is understandable (though I did notice at least one spelling mistake), and the pictures are accurate.The overall construction seems okay for a first impression.The controller feels fine in my hand. I'm an adult man. I'd prefer it if the grips were a bit larger, but it's a minor preference.I'd prefer the face buttons to extend out more, but again this is a minor preference.What ruins this controller are the dropped inputs. You can see the video. Pressing a button to click the mechanical switch doesn't necessarily activate the button press in game. For the A and B buttons, I need to press the button a bit farther after the switch clicks to actually have the button press register.The X and Y buttons seem fine and seem to always activate successfully when the mechanical switch clicks. Based in this, I think it's possible to receive a controller with mechanical switches that work correctly for all buttons.--- Updated after getting a replacementWell, I got a replacement controller and have used it for a few weeks. The second controller's buttons all seem to work fine. When the mechanical switches click, the buttons activate.I have been able to reproduce an issue that another reviewer noted. When pressing the D-pad button, it's possible to press it further than just activating the mechanical switch. If this is done, other directions can also be accidentally activated. So for example, if you press d-pad left too hard, it could activate left and up or left and down instead. If you remove the d-pad replaceable cover, and directly press the switches, you can see the switch activate followed by the entire mechanism tilt when pressed hard. The secondary directions activate when the mechanism tilts.At first, I didn't think it'd be too big a deal because I don't usually press the d-pad too hard. But, a few hours into playing a retro Metroid game showed my character accidentally aiming up or down while running.I don't think it's a big issue when playing 3D games primarily with the analog stick, but I do think it would be an issue for anyone primarily planning to play retro games with only the d-pad.So, I'm updating my review. It's almost a great controller, but right now it's not suitable for fighting games or retro games due to the d-pad.

I love the mechanical buttons, and the D-pad is phenomenal! This controller is about the same size as a Nintendo Pro controller and feels small. My teenage son enjoys the controller. I have large hands and prefer the Mobapad M9, which is closer to an Xbox controller.

Top notch controller, auto wake from sleep, mechanical buttons great D pad.

Edit 18-Feb-25: I have to drop to 3 stars due to the product. I am not sure if it is the older one or the replacement, but will hope it's the former. The right hall effect stick is pointing up randomly. I have updated the firmware, tried calibrating and the issue persists. It's disappointing that one cannot have a controller for more than one year without issues. I didn't mind paying a higher price due to the promise of no drift, and it is not fair to again place GearGame in a position to provide the solution due to a manufacturing defect so I will not pursue getting another replacement and will not purchase another controller made by Mobapad.Original review: The controller is great. It has a nice weight and is sized very closely to the Power-A wired controllers for Switch which are (or were) my favorite. The battery lasts for a good while. I have never had it shut off while playing. I have not experienced any kind of stick drift (one issue with the Power-A), mechanical buttons (another Power-A fault – membrane buttons) are mostly great and the gyro works as well, though I don’t use it often. I also do not really use the custom buttons, rumbling or NFC so I cannot comment on those features. Occasionally, the wake-up function does not work first try, but it’s a minor aggravation. I bought 2 of these controllers about a year apart. I am giving a full 5 stars due to the great response from both MobaPad and GearGame for recent issues with one of the controllers. I am not sure which it was as there are no serial numbers on the box nor controller. The top right back button stopped clicking. I noticed the sporadic response on a game where that is the trigger. It was not firing consistently when pressed quickly. I first emailed MobaPad as they are the manufacturer and it is a failure of the button. MobaPad advised to get in touch with the seller and also to check function on the test screen. Their response was same-day, just hours after I emailed so I appreciated that. I did test the function on the switch test screen and confirmed the button would mostly work when pressed slowly but started to miss more the faster it was pressed. I emailed GearGame next, explaining the issue and MobaPad’s response. GearGame also responded very quickly and addressed the issue, no additional information needed. Very satisfying, so I will repeat business with them.

the buttons and joysticks feel great I love that it's a Hall effect controller. the left joystick popped off twice when I was first testing it out on Super Smash Brothers. however it is designed to be able to change out those joysticks and I don't think the stick was tightly installed in the beginning. it hasn't popped off when playing rpg games.

Really good controller feels great in hand. Mechanical buttons feel great It’s only missing true button mapping to the back button. Other wise I’d would have kept it.
