I've had this controller for a while now but it isn't something I've used too often. The reason isn't that it's a bad controller, it's actually quite comfortable and has one of the better analog sticks I've used. The reason I don't use the controller often is that it's inconvenient to do so.

This controller will ONLY work through Steam. This is something I wish I had known before purchasing it, but it's such a ridiculous limitation that I hadn't even thought to check. Although it installs its drivers upon being connected, it doesn't respond as a generic controller as you'd probably expect. Instead it acts as a mouse and is not detected as a controller by any software outside of Steam. It's very disappointing, since the right touch pad is very nice and works well as an analog stick alternative.
Until this controller functions without Steam running in the background, it's going to be that much more inferior to every other controller available.

Some people may suggest launching all of your software through Steam to get around this limitation, but not all software plays well through Steam. And even then, it's a step that should not be necessary.
For this reason, I cannot recommend this controller.
