Customers like the appearance of the video game controller. They mention it looks weird, but feels good. The polygonal design is cool, with sharp edges that are accented by polished seams. The controller is smoother than the old one and much lighter. The angular design really sets it apart, and the faceted surface is futuristic and modern looking.

Mehhhh!! (Review just for the controller on Shield Tablet and other android devices)

Mehhhh!! (Review just for the controller on Shield Tablet and other android devices)
UPDATE:My tablet and the controller did receive an update and now I can see the details related to the controller like its battery status. One confusion I have as to how would i know if the controller is off or not after I am done using it? Do I "Forget" the controller from the Shield Accessories every time or how do I do it? And also one thing I cannot still play NFL Madden Mobile through the controller. Tried my hand on Asphalt 8 and was able to play with the help of the controller, but did not feel any rumbling effect when I did crash into other cars. I am not sure if it is supposed to do so or not. Thanks for the software update! :)======================================================================================================I got this controller 2 days ago.. 5 stars for amazon and the delivery services.. Since this is my first controller and I am really excited about using it in near future on my Shield tablet (whenever Nvidia pushes the update, about which I have been reading since they introduced this new toy), I am giving it 3 stars or else would have had stopped at 2.. Or even less than 2 stars because you first check the controller's compatibility with at least some of your latest devices and then introduce it in the market.. I did not like that because I am not able to do a lot of things on my Shield tablet using the controller and I am little frustrated because of it.. Yes it connects easily to any android device through Bluetooth but when I tried to play Madden NFL mobile on my Shield tablet, I couldn't do anything.. Also, I tried scrolling through Facebook on my tablet and couldn't do anything.. I was able to scroll through on the Twitter application though.. I faced the same issues when I connected the controller to my Nexus 6.. So I'm assuming that it'll be the same for all the android devices.. I am just hoping that all the software related issues will work out when Nvidia pushes the promised Android N update on shield tablet. .. Also the hardware specs are not that great.. Yes the controller is very comfy and it feels incredible in my hands but how would I know if the battery is about to die or not?? There is no way to know the battery level of the controller... Forget that; i'll eventually figure it out that the charge is over when the controller will die but when I'll plug it in for charging, how would I know if the battery is 100% charged or not?? I charged it once after I started using it and I was only able to estimate that the controller had enough charge when I was able to feel that the space between the left handle and the left joystick had turned little warm.. not hot, just lukewarm.. This is another thing that irritated me little, apart from the software non-compatibility.. I am wondering if it is possible for Nvidia to develop an application which will indicate the battery level of the controller.. Well, because it is Nvidia I am having such thoughts.. Anyways, If you are not able to resist yourselves from buying this controller you can order it right now and wait for the full compatibility or else you can wait till the Android N update has been pushed and the reviews for it are out.. I will keep on updating my review..
Thank you for your feedback
