This Phone Q17 gaming Controller surprised me to no end with one caveat. You receive two cards in package that has bar codes that link to google play for the two apps you will want. One (see Pic) is the home center for all your games and services such as the Xbox game pass, Steam link, games list etc. Its a beautiful and well laid out app. The next and dare I say more important app is the Gamepad Space app. The 2nd card for this link will go to Google Play and inform you that the app is not available. WRONG. It is available in the app store. You will have to manually look it up. Look for the one exactly as I named previously (Gamepad Space) download and install. What you can do with this app is amazing. I only found it recently due to thinking it was removed from the app store but no. Somehow its been moved (possibly by google).I have included a picture so you may also identify it correctly in the play store.𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽:What you can do with this app is again amazing, You can Test the controller to see if all controls are functional but that's standard. Features that stand out:1: You can adjust the left and right strength of motors located in the left/right bottom of controller.2: Create Macro's for you controller so that multiple functions can be achieved with one press. Imagine one button being used for Mortal Combat to do a Fatality. Awesome.3: Adjusting the LT/RT trigger front and rear dead zones.4: Ability to set the Gyro to the left or right Joystick for steering, etc. and the ratio etc.5: Left/Right Joystick can be set to Vertical reverse, Horizontally reverse, convert to directional keys, convert directional keys to left joystick, Swap left and right Joysticks (helpful for left handers too.)6: Firmware update access and device information.𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲Does not feel cheep. Its feels of good quality. Feels good in hand and all controls are easily accessible with your fingers.𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬The ability to adjust the joystick height is such a great Feature. The extensive features of both apps are fantastic. I have had it the pass 30 days and seems very durable. Fantastic that I do not have to remove the phone case and you can press down in the controller cradle to adjust for thickness. An additional pro is that a bonus USB and Lightning L angled extension comes free as a bonus. Its very high quality. Nice touch in that it does not have pass thru charging due to Bluetooth. You can have phone plugged into charger while using the case. Also you get as a bonus these cite paw print joystick covers and a high quality braided USB cord.𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬The controller shows up as an wireless controller on the phone when connected thru Bluetooth but a retro-gaming app I use identifies it as an PlayStation 4 controller. There is no way to change its affiliation to Xbox controller though with all the apps I have used with this it does not appear to be an issue.𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧Well made, Fantastic Controller Apps, Bonus attachments. This is a highly recommended and customizable controller you will appreciate and enjoy gaming with.𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞I did not receive this controller The ShanWan Q17 either as a gift or a free product for review. I only reviewed this because I am very happy with the purchase of this product and found it very much worth my time to submit.

Ok, so previous to this I was using a Razer Kishi v2 Pro which I returned. It was USB C connected which is great for latency and pass through charging typically. The way it held the phone is absolutely ridiculous. I had to use a Aramid case to make it fit with a case, even then I had to remove ALL the rubber from it. I don't know why they didn't think people wouldn't use a case at all.I got this based on all the reviews being pretty positive despite it being kinda a random Chinese company so I was kinda sketch. I opened this thing and all I can say is WOW. Feels like decent plastic. not cheap just ok. Which at $40 it's reasonable. I was also wrong about it being a random Chinese company. I'll bullet the next part.1. It has two apps just for the controller from both app stores. One lets you COMPLETELY customze it, such as setting dead zones of the analog triggers globally or per game. So like CoD you want it instant and full. Real Racing you want it longer and linear for throttle. You can also customize joysticks and buttons completely. the second is just like Razer Nexus app. it's like a game front end.2. It lasts 20 hours charges in 2.3. Buttons, Dpad, Joysticks, and triggers feel great.4. It has haptic feedback that feels good.5. Ok, something they don't even mention. The phone tray/holder not only expands like a normal controller, but it has springs the let in move forward and back. So basically you can sue any case or no case and it will tension your phone in the holder from not only the sides but the front and back, Pretty awesome.6. Comes with a 90 degree adaptor for lightning and USB C so you can charge your phone while you play.7. It's recognized as a Xbox controller for CoD so it "just works". No weird button/screen mapping 3rd party stuff needed. All emulators I've tried had zero issues either.8. It's BT so you can plug your phone into a TV and play on a big screen. I plug in my Viture XR Pro glasses and play on the "135 inch sceen" anywhere I want.I know you're thinking "There's no way this is that good". Yeah, yeah it is and totally unexpected at 1/3 the price of a v2 Pro or Backbone.Get it and try it, I guarantee you'll be like holy.....for $40/

Honestly, I liked it at first. For the price, it felt great, and there were no connection issues initially. The controller worked smoothly, and I was happy with how it performed. However, after just two weeks, it started malfunctioning. Now, whenever I expand it to fit my phone, the Bluetooth shuts down, and the right side of the controller doesn’t work at all.As you can see in the picture, the light on the right side is completely off, showing that the controller isn’t functioning properly.I was pretty satisfied when I first got it, but I guess this is what I get for not going with a name-brand option. Giant bummer.

i had ordered the first generation of this controller previously and used it for a solid 8 months before one of the buttons caused an issue that i was unable to fix so i bought the newer model. the only thing i preferred about the older model is they included 2 charging adapters (one usb-c to usb-c, one usb-c to lightening cable) so that you were able to plug your phone in to charge and still pop it into your controller snugly and comfortably. i didn’t get that with the newer model and the one they sent me got stepped on and the inner metal piece got bent. and i can’t find any that lay flush with the cable like these ones do ): tried emailing the company but no response ):
