  Hmmm, if you are after a full sized one, I was going to recommend the Xiaomi one. It works reasonably fine.

    How much did you pay?
    It's currently on 'sale' at GB for $30. If the AUD was still parity I could have grabbed it for $21 US :(
    It looks very high quality but probably more than my needs.

      I paid around $30 for it.
      I wanted something comparable to my xbox360 controllers and wanted something that'd last,
      so I went for a Xiaomi one (since that one was recommended by many reviews I've read).

        @Oversimplified:

        what code is that?

        @bdl: It was from a long time ago, I think it was on verge of expiry when I used it.

        I tried to find the code I've used, but I can't remember where I've seen it nor what it was. :S

  Is the tactile feedback good on the Xiaomi?

    Could you elaborate what you mean by that?

      To put it in simpler terms, do the buttons feel like they're made of quality stuff? Is the D-pad responsive?

      E.g some cheap controllers use low quality microswitches that feel mushy, and sometimes the buttons even get stuck underneath the controller's chassis.

        I personally think it's comparable to my xbox 360 controller, if not better.
        It doesn't feel cheap in my hand. That said, I've never been a controller person.

  I think I will buy it and report back.
  Here is a video playthrough/review of sorts for those interested : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2mXsZ4u1A8

  TonyDeal have a 'step up' model of sorts for $12. It looks very similar but also includes shoulder buttons, dedicated start/select buttons, and a more luxurious size. http://www.tinydeal.com/mini-bluetooth-gamepad-multifunction…
