“It's cheap, it looks cheap, and it works as such. The Pi Zero is one of the very few $5 products I have high expectations from. I read the reviews here, I knew it's a matter of luck getting good gamepads, but they were 10% - how can you not buy? :))
So I bought two. One of them is mushy and a bit problematic, while the other one is slightly stiff. With the problematic one I have to press the Up button on its top-right corner. Otherwise the Left button is occasionally pressed along with the Up button, which is not cool in fast-paced games.
For the cost of sending them back I could buy a new one, except they're not exactly great, so it's not worth trying. You might be lucky, or less demanding, but in my case it's a good thing I'm not a hard-core gamer. At least if I get pissed off I will buy something that's actually good and costs 5-8 times more than one of these. :)”
