    This wireless gamepad from Telmu is a great addition for anyone who plays games on PC or even on their Android smartphone (or tv box). You can plug it in via USB and use it wirelessly with your PC/tv box, or connect it via bluetooth. Either way it’s very simple to set up, and once you’ve done it once you can reconnect with the push of one button. I tested it on mobile (android), but over my time spent with it so far, I've been mostly using it for Steam.

    The one annoying part of setting up this controller is that it requires updated drivers, which are offered via a MediaFire link in the manual. I was not comfortable using a mediafire link to download these files, but with a little bit of searching I was able to get my computer to update the drivers on their own. However, I feel the company should include a small CD or put the drivers on their own website to put customers at ease.

    This gamepad is rechargeable, which I love, and the battery lasts several hours between charges. I've been playing for a week so far, 3-4 hours per day and it has yet to need charged. It has separate modes for android and for PC, and you can switch between the two with a quick button press. The wireless connection was very stable and I never had any trouble with it disconnecting or failing to communicate.

    Once I set up the controller with my PC, I did notice that the triggers on the gamepad were a little sensitive, but after I calibrated it that issue was resolved as well. For this price, I think it’s a great option for a wireless gamepad and I like it just as much as my wired xbox controller for Steam games, but this has the added benefit of being wireless!
