Works On Linux
Switch mode works out of the box on Linux. Needed to install/enable xboxdrv for dongle and Android modes. Windows mode is borked on Linux but that is expected since it isn't technically an Xbox controller. It just vibrates indefinitely and goes through a connect/disconnect loop.Controller feels great, I would have paid extra for the case. My only complaint is that I would swap the home/screenshot buttons with the +/- buttons, but I got used to it after a few weeks.

Excellent Quality, Plenty of Swap Choices, BUT... Upgraded Back Buttons Are TOO HARD TO PRESS
I experienced stick drift on the 2nd day of use. I think I was unlucky, so I will try not to let that distract me from giving an honest review.PROS: Excellent quality and build, comes with plenty of swap options. You get a lot for the price.CONS: 1) The STAR grips do not fit well onto the thumbsticks. 2) It requires a LOT of pressure to switch out the paddles on the underside, to the extent it feels like you are going to break the controller. 3) The "upgraded back buttons" that look like the PS5 pro controller are nice in theory, but require about 4x as much force to press as the paddles do; they are not good for gaming. 4) Keybinding and setting up profiles is not intuitive at all. 5) The directions have way too many colors, icons and information to remember. It was overstimulating to look at; it felt like I was untangling spaghetti while trying to get it setup the way I wanted and hard to change binds on the fly for different games.

Broken back button on arrival
I thought this would be the dream controller. Would be the one controller to rule them all but too many down sides. When you lock the triggers. They don’t feel very good. One of my front bottoms felt different than the rest. One of my back paddles came dead on arrival.

Works great in Linux.
I tested it over bluetooth on Linux Kernel 6.5, in Nintendo Switch and Windows mode. It works great! Much better than the KingKong2 that has a pairing bug in Switch mode on Linux.The high speed dongle (aka Hyperlink) also works on Linux. It's not just some Bluetooth dongle; it's a proprietary thing, not sure what tech it's based on, but it doesn't show up in Bluetoothctl as a controller. There's a special pairing procedure in the manual. When using the Gulikit dongle, the polling rate looks really good in JSTest-gtk, it's super smooth! Only downside of dongle mode is that's it's locked to x-input mode (Xbox mode), so no Nintendo switch mode with Gryo while using the "Hyperlink" .

Its alright
So i recently switched from a thrustmaster controller to the KK3 because i really didn't want to keep buying new sticks ever like 6 months.(This is from a rocket league usage only perspective). It is a heavy controller with a good feel while holding so i have no complaints with that. I have 3 main issues that i have a very hard time overlooking and makes me want to return it. The main issue is the L2 and R2, they have a extremely far travel distance before they even begin to register. so if you are a person who presses L1 and L2 or R1 and R2 with just one finger simultaneously, it is extremely hard to do and maintain L2 or R2 being fully pressed down.So i switched over to the Trigger Mode(second issue) to sorta rectify it and it kinda worked. BUT something to note is that if you are heavy usage on one side, you will feel a major difference in how much pushback there is against your finger with the one used more being less firm.And For my Third issue is that the YXAB buttons... they just don't feel nice to press at all. I don't know if this is just because I'm used to the mechanical switches of the e-swap s, but i really dislike how they feel.The few positive things i actually enjoy about the controller is that it is wireless(although no Bluetooth 1000hz polling but oh well) and the metal back paddles feel extremely nice. It also comes with a half decent case except i cant keep the paddles on the back attached when putting it in.I will keep trying it a bit longer but i am very much tempted to return it because of those negatives. For people who don't have to press like 5 buttons at the same time i can see this being a great long lasting controller, but as of now, i not a bit fan.

Decent controller but not for me
This controller has some great features and good tech on paper. Unfortunately it is a switch controller first and foremost. Even though it allows you to change it to multiple console modes the shift of the the start and select buttons to the plus and minus make the center cluster feel clunky and unnatural. If you want a pro switch controller this is a marvelous product but if you expect an Xbox feel you won't find it here.

calidad precio
Me gusto al tacto y uso prolongado, me gusto el hecho de poder agregarle mas botones y cambiar el tamaño de los mismo como agregar botones traseros, lo ocupo para jugar en pc y la respuesta es muy buena

The only flaw was me
This controller has been the source of an incredible amount of frustration for me, and it's all my own fault. Which made it sort of hard to write this review, despite the fact that in basically every metric, this controller is incredible.So let's get into what I did wrong, so that you can avoid making the same mistake I did. This controller comes with a lot of neat little addons in the box, and that includes a second set of primary-face buttons. I thought that this was a backup pair of some sort, and didn't think much of it. So when I noticed the controller comes, by default, with a switch-button layout, I casually took out the included button-puller tool, and started swapping them around. This was a very dumb mistake. All of the buttons are different heights according to where they go- meaning that once I slotted the A button into the bottom slot, I found it was entirely flush into the controller. So flush that I couldn't get it out again, not with the puller, not with a pin, nothing. And in the process of trying to take apart the controller so I could get the button out- I ended up stripping one of the screws by using the wrong screwdriver (though admittedly it was the only one I had on hand that was thin enough). So. Basically. Don't make the mistake I did, or you'll have to end up damaging the controller a little to pry out one of the button with a flathead.That bit of stupidity out of the way, once I got the A button out and replaced it with the 'backup set' (which is really just a proper set for the xbox layout), how does the controller function? Well, flawlessly, really. I own quite a few controllers at this point, from official XBOX ones to cheap garbage to controllers that are somewhere in between, and even ones past the stock controllers in quality. This one is by far the best. That is, of course, to be expected, given the higher cost.. But it's well worth it. This controller is fantastic.Now, I should preface this by making note of something I did find odd: This controller doesn't appear to support XBOX. That's strange, considering it's an xbox layout, but it's not the first controller I've owned in a similar boat. And, since it does not advertise itself as being compatible with XBOX, I'm not going to deduct a star for that. The controller does work with PC and Switch as advertised (I can't say for certain about Steam Deck or Mac, since I don't have those). I did also manage to pair it with my phone, but I don't play any phone games that really support controllers so I didn't do intensive testing on it. But it does pair, so I imagine it works just as well for it as it does for the other devices.That out of the way, let's talk about the actual qualities of this controller, because honestly it's just great. The build quality is definitely on par with your official controllers, feeling tough and quality in every regard from the buttons to the triggers, the only noticeable downgrade I had was that the d-pad, while it functions as 8 directions, only has the 4 direction button instead of the more modern circular format. Everything else is gorgeously and sturdily built.But where the controller really comes into it's own is the customizability of it compared with your stock controllers. Macro support is a given, but this controller not only comes with 4 extra back buttons, but you can also attach triggers onto it to make the buttons easier and more ergonomic for you to press. They're only capable of being inputted as your regular buttons, not as macros, but simply being able to put the jump button on a button you don't need to move your thumb off the joystick for is a godsend, and you get to choose exactly which finger presses it, and if you want it to be more of a squeeze motion (with the long-triggers) or a push down (with the short ones). Not only that, but you get the choice of hall-effect triggers or button triggers. That's right, unlike every other controller which has one or the other, this one has both. You just flick a switch on the back and you completely customize how the trigger feels. You want the left one to be a button and the right one to be hall-effect? No problem at all.Furthermore, unlike other third party controllers I've had for switch/pc interchangeably, this one doesn't sacrifice buttons. It has everything you need for the switch, as well as PC. This is not a controller missing the capture button, which I greatly appreciate, and even has amiibo support?? Does anyone remember amiibo?The controller has additional levels of customization built in with the settings button. While it doesn't have a software for controlling things, this allows you to adjust things such as sensitivity, dead zone, input choices (such as if you want to use xbox controls on switch or switch controls on pc) as well as vibration and setting up your macros/back buttons, which is good. I would have preferred a software but I've already got enough of those installed that I don't mind the exclusion too much.The lighting is minimal, but pretty neat. If you install the firmware update, you can set the lights around the joysticks to respond to the direction of the joystick, or if it's vibrating, or if you're holding down the trigger. Not anything amazing, I would have liked more, but it's not essential.Now, it might sound like I'm complaining a lot, because I am. There's no real way to describe how good a controller feels. It's a lot easier to point out the negatives than the positives. So let me reiterate. No problem that I've mentioned has seriously impeded my adoration of this controller- hence the still 5 star rating. There's a whole lot of nothing burger problems that I'm bringing up solely to give you, dear reader, a fully informed review, good and bad. But the truth is the controller just feels great in my hands. It's smooth and feels right. The back buttons make it easier to play with than stock controllers, the joysticks feel great under my fingers. I'm really picky about vibration in controllers too, and this one lets me customize it in 3 different ways.I love this thing, even with all the frustration I had from that button error (seriously, don't do this. The buttons fit in so perfectly you can't get anything under there to get them back out without damaging the thing or disassembling it. Which, honestly, come to think of it.. Kind of a plus, isn't it? No dust is getting in there, either.) it's still the best controller I own. And there are cool features I'm not even qualified to talk about. I know basically nothing about gyro controls, and this not only has support for them, but has something called 'motion aim assist' that's supposed to make it even better. I don't know enough about this to talk about it, but if that intrigues you, definitely keep it in mind as well! Overall this thing is just great, and despite it's premium price tag, it's well worth the cost. I wish I had bought this instead of my original xbox controller.. And I own an XBOX that this thing wouldn't even work for, so that's saying something.

Reparierbar und extrem viele Funktionen
Also für den Preis denke ich dass ich nie wieder einen guten Controller außer dem hier finden werde, knöpfe zum anbauen, umschalten von der Sensibilität von den L2/R2 triggern und andere sehr praktische Features wären ja schon genug, aber als ich dann mal einen Stick sagen wir angehauen habe und leider drift und alles hatte, war das fixen sehr einfach und ich kam relativ Problemlos an das Innere ran und konnte die Gummibänder oder Plastikteile da wieder hin richten und der Controller war wie neu. 10/10

Wirklich gute Qualität
Ich habe den Controller zwar zurückgeschickt, da ich doch irgendwie merkte, dass ich ihn nicht brauchte. Besonders mit den Paddles komme ich gar nicht klar.Das hat aber nichts mit dem Controller zu tun, sondern mit mir. Der Controller ist wirklich super verarbeitet und bietet extrem viele Funktionen. Man kann sogar die Buttons austauschen.Und das für nur 79,99 EUR ist echt sehr gut.
