  It is good, I use it on Android. I made a mini cabinet with an Android tablet for arcade. Be careful though, if you used a gamepad with Xbox-style buttons before on Android, this one sends BUTTON 1,... BUTTON 12 codes (yes, it has inputs on the board for 12 buttons even though it has 10. I added 2 more of my own). In RETROARCH, etc. there is no problem as you can map each button to do what you want. However, if a certain application requires an Xbox or PlayStation controller, it will not work. There is a solution, an app called Button Mapper on the Play Store, if properly configured, instead of sending button¹, etc., it sends X, Y, etc.
  Here is a video of the cabinet with this joystick.

  Overpriced product, I started heavy use with Street Fighter 6 on PC and so far it handles decently, the fact that it can handle the pressure without the joystick breaking is a good sign, and the buttons have endured a lot of abuse so far. The fact that the primary material used for construction was leftover kitchen countertop from a renovation definitely helped with the sturdiness of the project.

  I haven't used luxury joysticks before, so I don't have an opinion on how the components compare to more sophisticated options like concave buttons, but as it is, it seems to be sufficient for my needs.

  On the negative side, there are no instructions included in the package, so you have to figure out which pin corresponds to which button by using https://greggman.github.io/html5-gamepad-test/, and be careful not to screw the joystick in the wrong direction since there is no indication of which is the "up" direction. Also, if you use it for beat 'em up games, you will notice that the ball of the joystick unscrews during circular movements, which can be fixed with a drop of glue since the joystick itself rotates around its own axis anyway, but obviously you won't be able to undo it afterwards.

  Other than that, the packaging is very adequate, with each button in its own little bag. I also note that the circuit board has a light indicator, in case someone wants to incorporate it into the design of the frame, as I didn't notice it until later.

  Quite good quality both in the buttons and in the joystick, not as sturdy as the old controllers for pinball machines but very easy to assemble! If you're interested, I have done the Unboxing, assembly, and testing in this video: https://youtu.be/wqlDybQm6bI
