Pros: Sturdy, long battery iife. Feels "right" in your hands. onboard mic with google search is great.

Cons: The only con is that the sound crackles a bit when you use headphones with the controler.

Other Thoughts: The shield tablet is incomplete without this item.

Pros: -very comfortable
-not heavy
-easy to use
-volume controls/headphone jack on controller are very handy.
-battery lasts long
-has a premium feel
-has touch pad/ cursor (useful if you don't want to navigate with touch and with running

Cons: -some games require the use of the soft keys which sometimes results in unintended mishaps in game. (not really a controller issue)
-battery is not user replaceable
-turning the controller on and off not straight forward.

Other Thoughts: Having the shield tablet without the controller felt incomplete. If you plan on using for PC gaming or game stream it's much better than a third party controller.

Pros: Works with every game I've tried well, I like the feel in my hands it's very comfortable and feels natural to me and I have bigger hands so it was nice to have something that fit so well.

Cons: The USB cable that comes with it is pretty short. So it's fine if you're at your desk and your PC is right there but if you're trying to stream a game to your TV and you're on your couch you'll want to consider finding a longer USB cable.

Other Thoughts: Install is also easy, works with Windows 8.1 and 10 with no issues.

Pros: The joystick has a quality feel to it, has a built in mic for doing searches, allows you to use a "cursor" on Android, support for PC (although haven't tried), and automatically turns itself off. Oh, and amazing battery life!

Cons: I took an egg off since the manual says you can press and hold the logo button for 5 seconds or so to power it off, but I have only been able to do this once out of 50 tries. It also wasn't clear that the device won't update it's firmware unless it has enough of a battery charge to not power off and brick it, although I suppose this can be a good thing!

Other Thoughts: It's a pretty darn nice joystick, although since we use Google Nexus players around the house here and was considering getting an Nvidia version of of the player which already comes with one of these, I probably should have held off buying this controller as I will have 2 of them when I do get the Nvidia player. Although having 2 controllers maybe isn't so bad!

Pros: If you like the Xbox 360 controller, this will be right up your alley. It is very well designed though may be handful for people with small hands.

Cons: The volume "button" is extremely sensitive. I hit it by accident all the time.

Cant wake the tablet with the controller (not really the controllers fault I suppose), get on it nVidia

Other Thoughts: Pretty much required for you shield tablet if you want to game on it (if you don't, why did you buy a shield tablet?)

Pros: Work great with computer games and the Shield tablet.

Cons: Slightly bulky but still good

Pros: First thing to notice about this controller is the build quality. The finish, weight, and buttons/triggers have a professional feel that beats out any controller that I have ever used. With the exception of the X,Y,A,B buttons, I think the xbox controllers do a better job at them but not by much. The analog sticks are smooth as silk and all the buttons have excellent tactile response.

What sets this controller apart though is its functionality with Android, which turns your shield tablet into a legit console experience that rivals XBox one and PS4. Since I have started using Nvidia's GRID service I haven't thought about a next gen console once. If Nvidia can create a solid MP experience with their GRID service then they will be strong competitors in the console market.

Another thing that sets this apart is that is has the lowest latency out of any controller. The WiFi connection gives you the most responsive experience ever.

Another big bonus is that Nvidia allows support for usage on your Nvidia powered GPU PC through USB connection. Playing the original BioShock at 4k with this controller is an amazingly gratifying experience. Those big daddies make this controller shake like H**L, greatly adding to the experience.

Since this pairs with a full android tablet I have an SNES emulator and the controller works with all the roms I have tried. I was super excited about this as I can now relieve my childhood gaming experiences lol

Cons: Price? You pay a premium for this controller but it hasn't detracted from my experience.

The streaming services is useless without

Other Thoughts: The track pad is not particularly useful. The issue with it is the sensitivity is too low making you have to pick up your finger over and over to get across the screen. If they fixed it I would be putting the track pad in the pros. It isn't a con because it doesn't diminish my experience with the controller.

One review made me laugh because Nvidia "copied" xBox according to him, except the analogue stick placement, touch pad, volume controls, android interface, and overall superior build quality of this controller. (I really like this controller ). If anything they took the solid design of the xBox and made it even better but it stands out from the other controllers I have ever used.

I am super excited for Nvidia to expand their Shield lineup with their new console. I honestly think that game streaming is the future, bypassing pesky aging hardware. All of my console games play at 1080P and 60 FPS. You can't say that about Next Gen, let alone for the price. To get the console experience out of your tablet you need; Shield tablet $299, controller $60, HDMI mini $5, and a good router $70.

Pros: Solid construction. Xbox controller rip off with the stick relocated to more playstation/n64'ish feel. I would have preferred the xbox style but it's still very comfortable fit/grip/etc. Touch pad is mildly useless... but a nifty add on. If they gave a qwerty keypad addition similar to the 360 controller this would have been a perfect controller. Bonus that it fits into a portable case.

Cons: No cons. Just would have liked to have seen a *slightly* (very) different layout and maybe a qwerty pad or the option of one.

Other Thoughts: Solid construction. Great controller. Comfortable. Nifty if yet useless touchpad.

Pros: Excellent battery life.

Analog sticks on par with 360 controller.

All normal buttons and triggers feel very well made.

Basically no input lag, just as responsive as wired.

Built-in headphone jack.

Cons: A little on the heavy side, though not overly so.

Touch buttons work fine, but offer no feedback which may be annoying for games using select/start often as they're higher than standard layouts.

Small hands might have difficulty reaching Back/Start buttons.

The power and sync is the same button, which is touch and easy to hit when carrying it around.

Powering it on and off without activating sync takes a little practice.

Volume bar does not match the rest of the build quality.

I experienced artifacts in the sound using the built in headphone jack.

Other Thoughts: The controller is a little on the big side and is not as comfortable as an Xbox or Playstation one, though the recess on the bottom lets your middle fingers rest.

It's a little expensive, but the over-all build quality is fantastic.

Touch pad is rather solid but the click feels weird at first.

Pros: Connected to pc with USB cable.
Has a great feel to it.
Can adjust volume straight from controller.
Has a headphone port on it.
Works great with Nvidia shield tablet.

Cons: Cannot use with tablet while charging on pc. Not really a con, but since I game near my pc, it would be nice.
Doesn't come with Wall AC adapter - comes with a usb cable but no wall outlet and when connected to a pc, can only be used to control games on the pc.
A bit more expensive than a 360 or logitech controller, but totally worth the extra $$$.

Other Thoughts: Keymapper makes this thing the greatest android gaming combination with a shield gaming device. It really stands out over those cheap bluetooth controllers that only work with a handful of games.
Even if I didn't own a shield gaming device, I would use one of these as my dominant controllers for my pc.
