PRODUCT TYPE
This review is for the wired controller. The wireless one seems to have some problems with low vibration and poor connectivity, so I didn’t bother to go with it.
FEATURES
Triggers: They don’t jump from 0 to 1. They’re mostly linear from 0.00 to 1.00.
Turbo: Unlike some controllers that offer turbo button but don’t function properly (looking at you, cosmic byte interstellar), turbo is pretty consistent here. However, there’s a slight mistake in the manual where the instruction to clear the turbo was turbo+clear+button but the actual combo is just clear+button. Apparently turbo speed can be adjusted with turbo+dpad buttons, but I’m yet to try.
Macros: There are two under-buttons that can be used to store and trigger macros. But the macros live only until the controller is plugged out, they’re probably stored in-memory which is erased upon power loss. Macros also have some limitations on this controller. Two buttons can’t be used in combination (ex: RT+A, LB+Y, etc.). Even though DPAD buttons, AXBY, LB, RB, LT and RT can be used while creating a macro, only 8 buttons are allowed in 1 macro.
Vibration: Its vibration strength is quite decent. You have two very small buttons underneath the controller that can be used to increase, decrease, or even turn off the vibration. This is a great feature and would be nice if more controllers adopted this approach. An extra treat is that since the material is a bit translucent, you can see the motors spinning when the controller vibrates.
Compatibility: It has both X-Input and D-Input modes, for legacy support. I’ve tested it on Windows 11 with X-Input in Forza Horizon 5, NFS Unbound and Ryujinx emulator.. no issues encountered.
BUILD
Its a plastic build that’s sturdy enough. Its material is translucent, so you can see the motors spin during vibration. But its not translucent enough to make it look like a novelty toy.
The type-c cable locks in to some extent, so it won’t easily come out if pulled accidentally. But a deliberate pull will still get the cable out nontheless.
The triggers seem sturdy too and have a good feel to them.
LB and RB buttons make a mouse type click sound when pressed. Its almost as loud as a gaming mouse click, something you might wanna consider if you have others living in your room.
DPAD is quite firm and feels soft but solid to press.
AXBY don’t feel cheap either, but makes some sound when pressed. Its to be expected as almost every controller does.
Analog sticks feel strong and have good grip over them. Gamepad testing showed around 5-6.5% of error after testing a few times.
PRICING
This item’s launch price was 999, I was a bit hesitant to purchase it for 1199, which is a 20% increase just after 3 months of launching. However, considering the alternatives, it still is a good deal.
CONS
The indicator lights in the middle stand out of your room is dark. It’d be nice if we’re able to turn all the controller lights off with some combination. Especially since some controllers already offer that functionality.
Its body lacks rubber grip. The matte finishing helps to an extent but, rubber grip is almost necessary for longer gaming sessions. But in terms of hygeine and odour, plastic can be easily sanitized, unlike rubber. To each their own for picking here.
SUMMARY
This is overall a great controller with lots of features at this price point. Even with a couple of compromises here and there, it’s still the best in the market in 1k price segment. I’ll try to remember to update this review if the controller fails in the future.

As for the experience with the controller so far, I’d give it an 9/10. First the pros:
•The build quality of the controller is really good. Even better than some of it’s more expensive counterparts.
•The ergonomics are really comfortable. The shape and the matte texture of the controller is really good for long gaming sessions.
• Snappy buttons and sticks. The left and right sticks feel super good to use. They’re quick and snappy and feel high quality. The buttons are unexpectedly poppy and feel really high quality. Even the d pad is rock solid and doesn’t have a gummy feel like other controllers at this price range. The triggers and bumpers are smooth but I feel that the triggers are slightly wobbly and the bumpers can sometimes feel a bit too tight. But those are just minor issues which can easily be fixed.
• No latency issues despite being wireless and a ton of features and additional buttons at an unbelievably reasonable price. You get a wireless controller with a ton of macro programmable buttons and features like stick precision, pressure sensitive triggers and a turbo button at just 1500. That almost feels too good to he true.
Cons:
• I was a bit disappointed by the fact that you cannot use it wired while it is charging. This can be an issue when you’re playing a game and you run out of battery. I’d really like amkette to make a new version of this already great controller with a wired mode.
• This might be nitpicking but the controller doesn’t have an off button. Yeah I know that it turns off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity but it would be a nice feature to have.
Overall I love this controller and would say that it is a killer deal. For 1500 rupees, you won’t find a better controller in India. Amkette has managed to make a really impressive controller for a good price.

I bought this controller in May of 2023 and I am writing this review in July 2023.
I bought the PC version of this controller which comes with a 2.4Ghz connectivity USB, I had my doubts before buying this as most reviews on other 2.4 Ghz controller point out a connectivity issues, fortunately I haven’t encountered any connectivity issues with this. The controller itself has a great in hand feel to it, it looks good, it’s vibration motors are great, it’s battery backup is amazing. A issue I had with other cheaper controllers is the analog grip, needless to say this controller has some great analog grip so your fingers don’t slip off them. I have yet to encounter any performance issue as this has a low latency so even while playing FIFA I am never dissatisfied. A small con is that the programmable buttons don’t save the button combination you program into it but I don’t require them so it is of no consequence to me. One issue I did face is sometimes by which I mean quite rarely (happened to me I think 3-5 times in 2 and a half months) this controller would turn off randomly which could be a low battery issue as I have long gaming sessions on weekends, it turns back on instantly with the power button but it could be in a critical situation which holds back it’s rating for me. Overall I am satisfied with this as it is a durable controller that can handle long gaming sessions unless you’re using this to control a submarine, I would say go for it.
TL;DR
Pros :
consistent
good battery backup
no connectivity issues
low latency
durable
Cons:
the programmable buttons don’t save the settings so you have to re program them every time.
turn off randomly mid game rarely which may or may not happen because of low battery ( twice a month for me :p)
overall a 3.8/5 possibly a 4/5.
