Is there a reason why the red controller is cheaper? Just curious. I want to know why before I purchase anything. Also, I am purchasing one of these controllers for use on my laptop for some games I have on here and I want to be sure it can connect to my computer with a USB port. I didn't see when looking at the product details that it connected via USB and there wasn't a picture of the connection part so I want to be sure of what I am buying before I order anything.

I'm assuming its because not many people purchase this color, so the price is going low so people start buying it. It's not like it's cheaper because its not functional or anything of the sort

My understanding is that it isn't using bluetooth, as that would add to delay for gaming. It uses a proprietary communication, which I think is unencrypted to reduce response time and make this viable for gaming. I've never used a wireless mouse with better response time, feels same as a wired one to me.

Sorry for the delay. I assume its only a computer game, like the previous two answers. But, if you want to try it out, go for it. I know there are games you can have the controller hooked up to it as well. If you want, contact WildTangent games.

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.

I normally use a USB keyboard and mouse, and I have used a Bluetooth keyboard as well. I've never used a game controller...

Yeah you can, also, check out the sabrent controller. The blue one. It also comes in a 2-pack, can't go wrong with that. A lot cheaper too.

Controllers will never recognize this devise for some reason on my desktop, and 3 laptops. eSATA is the ultimate solution faster 2x and much more reliable They promise to revive all usb 3.0 devises and controllers .It means that new 2015 PC's will have no issues on motherboards .USB 3.0 is very new to the manufacturers (they trying to sell older hardware first :) Forget about this gadget

I've tried the razer its been repackaged several times since I tried it. The sailtek is the better controller however be gentle with its analog stick if that part were more robust I could recommend it more. The software was sufficient enough for me to do just about anything I wanted in any game however it has a learning curve.

Good question. The controller apparently has five buttons only because a 5 pack is also available. The 5-pack costs a little more but probably less than what you would pay for extra sockets. Also notice the controller has to "learn" each socket. If you search options on amazon, for a few dollars more, Etekcity has a model with numbered sockets that correspond to the numbers on the controller. You just plug it in and use it.

I love this controller! it has different settings to use it as a mouse, or keyboard, or game controller. it depends on the game you want to use it for whether it will work or not. many games have am option for "mapping" under the settings. this is where you will be able to set the functionality of the controller up for that particular game. I use it on my galaxy S III (NO root needed)

Wait it does? So unlike the PS3 controller (which will ONLY charge from a charging dock or the console itself or a laptop left on 24/7), when my controller's running low I can plug it into my http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-SurgePlus-3-Outlet-Charger-Protector/dp/B00ATZJ5YS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1401067989&sr=8-3&keywords=belkin+wall+charger WHILE I play with the supplied charge cable (that came with the console)? :D EDIT: June 10th 2014: Well after getting the console, I can confirm that the controller WILL charge from a wall charger, however it HAS to be a 1 amp plug. That belkin one I listed above it 2.1 amp and it will NOT work on that or the other 3 2.1 amp wall chargers I have, and it will NOT work on the like 4 .5 amp chargers I have either. It will however work on my new phone and new portable Bluetooth speaker's wall chargers, which are both 1 Amp. I guess something in the controller won't kick in to charge unless it's receiving exactly 1 Amp. Of course needing to charge one from a wall socket near you while playing becomes a moot point once you get a charging stand and a 2nd controller to swap to.

In regards to steam, it is functional if the game supports generic controllers. Many steam games when they say controller support, they only mean XBOX 360 controller support. So it really depends on the game. For instance I played rogue legacy with a sega saturn adapter and SS controller, and it worked great. The game Fez however had a number of problems regsitering other controllers than an xbox 360 one.As far as not registering, I couldn't say. I am running x64 windows 7 which in terms of driver support is usually identical, and I had no problems just plugging it in and having it detected as USB Genesis controller or something like that under devices and printers.

I have a wired xbox 360 game controller, I just plugged it in the USB port of my computer and the game automatically recognized it. It also asks you when you about to play a match to Press the Accept Button on the controller you want to use, so I've had no problems using the xbox 360 controller for this game. Not sure how a wireless controller would work.

What I understood was that the red button activates the programs you enabled the buttons to do. Think if it as the turbo button on those controllers from long ago

Christopher...Unfortunately I am not a gamer so cannot speak first hand. But I wish I could get a screen shot of the App page on the TV...loads of games and access to the internet is oly dependent on your wifi connection speed. USB ports give you options for keyboards, etc. Go to a local retailer and try it out and ask all the questions you have.
