ECHTPower Wireless PC Gaming Controller – Hall Effect Joystick, 2.4G & Wired 1000Hz Polling Rate, 800mAh Battery, Adjustable Turbo/Vibration – for PC/Switch/iOS/Android by ECHTPower

I’ve gone through many affordable controllers trying to find a reliable option for streaming on my Nvidia Shield. This is by far the best Android controller I’ve found. It is light, comfortable, connects easily, little lag in Android 2.4g mode, and buttons, triggers and sticks all feel good. Haven’t noticed any stick drift after a few weeks. Very happy with this.

I honestly didn’t expect this to work so flawlessly — but it does! This controller paired via Bluetooth with my Tesla Model Y Juniper without a hitch. After struggling to find a compatible option that wasn’t overpriced, this one hit the sweet spot.

The pairing was quick, the controls are responsive, and it just works. I was so impressed, I immediately ordered a second one for my kids to use on the rear screen — can’t wait for them to try it out!

Bonus points for the versatility: it also supports wired mode and charges via USB-C. It really feels like it was designed with Tesla in mind. If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable controller for in-car gaming, this is the one to get!

✅ Tesla Model Y Juniper compatible
✅ Bluetooth + wired mode
✅ USB-C charging
✅ Great price

Highly recommended — especially for Tesla families!

I’ll start off by saying I love the official Switch Pro Controller from Nintendo. I think it’s super comfortable. The only thing I want is a controller just like it with extra programmable buttons, and this thing is the best controller I’ve found that fit the bill!

I love how the button layout is exactly like the Switch Pro Controller – a lot of other third party controllers will swap the Home buttons with turbo or something else and it messes me up because of my muscle memory. The shape is pretty close with the handles being a bit thicker, which I have found I like. It’s just as comfortable to hold for long periods, if not more.. The plastic feels very nice and high quality! I love the black on white aesthetic as well and the RGB lights are just a bonus (do wish it had a color fading mode that just rotates through colors without breathing/turning off though. Also wish the ABXY buttons could be changed and match the color of the sticks instead of always Xbox colors, but it still looks nice).

I also love how easy and intuitive it is to set the programmable buttons or create a macro (and the LEDs for that matter). I’ve tried other controllers with these features where if you don’t do it for a while, you forget how the hell to set it and have to reference the manual.

I don’t have a big need for macros right now, but I have tested it out and it works super well! It’s pretty robust honestly. You can even record analog stick movements to the macros which opens up a lot of possibilities! As well, you can set the buttons to be one specific direction on a stick, so you could hold the button to simulate holding the stick in that direction. Seriously the best macro feature I’ve seen on a cheap controller like this!

The wake function is very realiable! More reliable than the official Nintendo controller actually. It works flawlessly the first time every time.

Now the main issue I had was the placement of the macro setting buttons. They really should be further away from where your middle fingers test, because I found that I would often hit them by mistake, which doing so would reset the macro button to do nothing. I got this controller pretty much just for Tears of the Kingdom so I could run with XL and jump with XR, thereby being able to move the camera around while running and jumping. This really is a game changer if you like exploring on foot like I do. However, pressing your jump button, expecting to jump, and not jumping (because the macro button got accidentally unset) obviously is a frustrating problem that led to many goofs and deaths.

They could fix this issue a few different ways. Either by moving the buttons further in or up, or even a simple software change so you had to long press the button to unset it and otherwise pressing it without any other button simultaneously would be ignored. That would probably be the best way to solve it. Or they could recess the buttons so they’re not easy to press by mistake – and that’s exactly what I took it upon myself to do! I opened the controller up with a screwdriver and sanded down the macro setting buttons so now they’re about 2-3mm in and it’s impossible to press them by mistake. I have to intentionally push the tip of my finger into the hole to hit the button. Completely solved the problem!

There is another minor issue I’ve seen other reviewers mention: the very short disconnect/sleep time, but this is entirely fixable as well—and officially! All you have to do is use the KeyLinker app on your smartphone. Pair the controller to your phone (in the app, not in your Bluetooth settings). You’ll see all the settings you can play with. On the last tab to the right “Other”, you’ll find “no operation shutdown time”. It’s set to 5 minutes by default, but you can set it anywhere up to 30 minutes or to never shut off. Perfect!

The only thing that isn’t fixable but I can live with is the battery life. It’s not bad but I wish it was better. The official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has crazy good battery life. Whenever I use it I feel like I don’t have to charge it for days. This, I feel like I have to plug in at least once a day or every other day (tbh I haven’t properly measured). Also to be fair, this has LEDs sucking the juice up too and I have not tested the battery life with them off. I like the lights and have a cable nearby so it’s no problem to plug it in when I need to. Though, I wouldn’t have minded this having a slightly higher price tag to have a larger battery inside. But I’m happy with it either way.

Only other minor issue is I wish the screenshot and home buttons weren’t so raised – they can more easily be pressed accidentally, and I find myself hitting screenshot sometimes when I’m reaching for -, but this isn’t a deal breaker.

Overall, this thing is great and the only real issues were easily fixable, so I totally recommend it!

I’ve tested dozens of controllers, and the ECHTpower PC Gaming Controller is a true standout. The Hall Effect Joystick delivers buttery-smooth movement with zero drift, even during extended play. Whether I’m navigating tight corners or executing split-second combos, the 1000Hz polling rate ensures instantaneous response—no lag, just pure precision.

What really sets this controller apart is its versatile compatibility. I seamlessly switch between my PC, Switch, iPhone, and Android tablet with no hiccups. Just remember to toggle the mode switch before connecting—simple and smart.

The 800mAh battery gives me a solid 15 hours of gameplay, which means fewer interruptions and more wins. Plus, the customizable turbo and vibration settings let me tailor the experience to suit whatever genre I’m diving into.

Oh, and can we talk about the RGB lighting? With 9 colors and 4 lighting effects, I was able to sync my setup perfectly—it just looks slick. Top it off with the durable gel buttons that feel tactile and satisfyingly responsive, and you’ve got a controller built to last through countless sessions.

If you’re serious about your gaming or just want a future-proof, all-in-one controller, this is it. ECHTpower nailed it.

Amazing Controller!
This controller works instantly—just plug it in and play. The sensitivity and responsiveness are excellent, even when I’m sitting nearly 15 feet away using a USB adapter with my MacBook. It feels comfortable in the hands, and I can play for hours without my thumbs or hands getting tired.
I’m the kind of person who spends hours researching before buying, and I couldn’t be happier with this choice. No regrets at all—if you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable controller, this is the one to get!
