Fast video showing the controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOMaCw8C0xM&ab_channel=ChrisJerry

For those who are too lazy to read a long review:

Pros: Affordable, you won't find better at this price (12 euros for me), good packaging and construction (for the price). Easy connection, plug and play, no extra setup required. Can be connected to PC, Android, and PS3 according to the packaging.

Cons: Strange distance from the start and select buttons (compared to Xbox 360, PS3), the top triggers stick out a bit more, vibration is decent for 12 euros but won't give you a realistic feel of explosions or weapon feedback. Personally, the cons don't bother me, that's why I gave it 5 stars, but I'm mentioning them so you know.

Good evening to everyone. I ordered this controller after reading several reviews here during the New Year. Its price was 12 euros with shipping, using a card. For its price, it's the best non-brand controller I've ever had, compared to PlayStation or Xbox controllers that have passed through my hands. First, let me talk about the packaging. As soon as I opened the box and saw it, I thought I had bought a 40 euro controller. It looks very similar to the packaging of the Razer company's mice, which has a glossy photo of the purchased item on the outside and gives you a premium feel. So, a big bravo because people like me pay attention to it. Imagine the packaging of the Xbox 360 controller I had bought before, it was worse. Inside, the packaging contains a CD for installation (for those who have a CD player on their computer, because I didn't), a very small manual, and of course, the controller. As soon as I held it in my hands, I realized that it is very lightweight and of low quality, but it surpasses the quality of other OEM controllers I have bought in the past. You don't feel like you're holding something that costs 12 euros, but at least 25. The left and right analog sticks are quite small to the touch, which I noticed immediately coming from the Xbox 360, but their quality seems like it will last for years. The back triggers, especially the top ones, are very light to press, but one negative is that they stick out a bit more than they should (again, comparing them to the PS3 and Xbox 360). Some people might find this annoying, but I think it's a matter of getting used to it and not something problematic. The bottom triggers are soft as I was used to, and they protrude as they should. The start and select buttons are placed a bit strangely, meaning that when you're playing and want to press start to pause, you have to go a few millimeters further compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers, but I believe I will get used to it over time. As for construction, it is an extremely lightweight controller, so I'm a bit worried it might break easily, so be careful if you decide to buy it. Apart from that, I wanted to mention that it fit perfectly in my hand from the first time, meaning that in terms of size, it's like the Xbox 360 controller and sits perfectly in the hand. One negative for those considering vibration. Unfortunately, it lacks in that aspect (generally speaking, it's fine for 12 euros), meaning that when I opened an FPS game that I was playing single-player and used the sniper or when something exploded next to me, I didn't have as intense of a reaction as with the Xbox 360 controller. It has vibration, but it's not as strong. So, those of you who want good vibration, think about it. Now about the connection, I simply plugged it in through the 3.0 port of my unit and immediately Windows 10 recognized it as an Xbox 360 controller (I don't know how or why) and it played straight away as soon as I plugged it in without any settings. I didn't even use the CD that came with the package. In conclusion, I recommend it for: 1) People who want something durable (with proper use, not rough handling) for a long time. 2) People who want to have the best possible controller for only 12 euros. 3) As a gift for a nephew, child, or partner.

I do not recommend it for anyone who presses the buttons with force and generally has a more dynamic use with the controller. Generally, for anyone who is careless.

I hope I helped you, happy shopping. Have a healthy year.

The left analog stick started drifting within the first month of use. The joystick seems to constantly move to the right in a joystick tester. It's a shame because it was so good for its price at the beginning!

  For the money, it's just fine; time will show how long it will last. Otherwise, it is very light and quite convenient

  It is quite good, just in some ports the computer cannot recognize it (the port is not the issue as it works normally with other devices) but apart from that it is very complete.

  My daughter has dropped it over 100 times, the only thing it hasn't done is get smashed with a hammer. However, this is tough as nails. Very good and for its price, it's worth more than I expected.

  I've had it for about a month now and the controller is simply excellent for its price. Nothing more, nothing less. If you're looking for a cheap controller at the price of 10 euros (which is what I paid), don't think twice.

  Good feel - quality of construction - precise response in games. The only downside is that it does not allow the screen or the computer to turn off automatically after a few minutes as set by the power options. You have to disconnect it first.

  After a few months of use, the left joystick exhibited excessive stick drift to the point that it is no longer suitable for racing games.

  It should be noted that it was purchased in December 2024, meaning it didn't last even a year

  It has a very good feel and stability in its use. Very good and for its price, it's worth it. I don't have an opinion yet on its durability over time.

  After a few hours of use, the RT stopped working and now it works half the time you press it and the other half it doesn't. The main problem is that the controller usually doesn't work the same. It requires multiple disconnect/reconnect attempts to connect to the PC, and usually, the front ports of the computer never work, and I have to plug it into the back. The worst purchase I have made so far. I would not recommend it

  For its price, you play your games with a gamepad, you're far from the keyboard and it sells you, it's good for its job but that's it... honest sticks, they don't have drift yet... the triggers, depending on what games you play, you might realize that it's a cheap construction... the arrows are perhaps one of its biggest negatives, you understand that it's a cheap gamepad BUT it does its job, you don't comment on it negatively! You recommend it to your friends with closed eyes! (at its price of €12.90)

  I had bought it along with the wireless one in July 2023, as an alternative since I found both at a good price. It hasn't been used much and hasn't had any issues. This one was used on both PC and PS3, which didn't have any issues.

  For the €13 it costs, it is truly a value for money choice. Quite lightweight. And it seems cheap, but I have nothing bad to say because the price is really a joke. The only thing that didn't suit me at first until I got used to it was the start button, which is positioned a bit higher compared to all the controls we are used to so far. So it takes a little time to get used to it. From there on, everything is perfect.

  For 3 years now, with almost daily and extensive use, it hasn't suffered the slightest damage, the letters have barely faded, which is unbelievable. Overall, Roar has impressed me in the field of controllers, I highly recommend it.

  For the 10 euros it costs, and for how well it works, it's a miracle. If you want something more premium, why are you buying a controller for 10 euros? Go for the PS5 or Xbox.

  Very good for its price and for the use I make of it (I use it as a buzzer and practically only use the buttons on the right and no left joystick). I would buy it again.
  I tried it on a Mac. I had difficulty understanding why it didn't work at first, but then I read in the instructions that I had to press the home button for a few seconds until all the lights lit up, not just half of them. I'm writing this so that others don't have to search for the same problem.

  I have been using it on my PC for a few days and so far it has not presented any issues. The entire range of motion of the analog sticks is recognizable and with an extremely high degree of accuracy, unlike other controllers in the same price range that I have used, where I give a command and the direction is different.

  One year of use in competitive games with long hours of use is truly incredible how durable it is. I broke it due to ea24 and it goes without saying that I will buy the same again.

  After 6 months of use, the analog stick does not respond upwards. And in a previous one I had bought, it had fallen 3-4 times, and the buttons did not respond either in about the same timeframe.

  Quite good value for money. I would give it a 5/5 rating, but I had a lot of difficulty with the installation. And sometimes it doesn't recognize it, I had to reinstall it. Once these issues are resolved, it works perfectly. I would choose it again.

  A very good controller for its price, it's perfect. I bought it for 10€ and I've had it for a year. I play Tekken and pro and the only negative thing is that the select button got stuck. Other than that, it's great.

  It could be very good, but it has compatibility issues so it remembers it. If it wasn't for this issue, it would be a 5/5 because as a handle, feeling, buttons, especially scandals but also vibration, it's great. But I believe it's the grip and the scandals that win

  Purchase for ps3, not used much yet but shows quality, light in hand. The joysticks and R/L buttons have a good feel. In relation to its price, it is currently the best choice. I hope it will withstand the test of time. +price, weight, grip/quality feel, ergonomics (the buttons are exactly where they are on Sony) -button pressing, lacks extra features (e.g. auto fire)

  After two months, it started to have a huge drifting issue. And suddenly, one day it was working fine, but the next day practically unusable without any drops or hits.

  For this price, obviously I didn't expect good quality, but at least I wanted a product that would fake-work
