msi Force GC30V2 Wireless Gaming Controller, Dual Vibration Motors, Dual Connection Modes, Interchangable D-Pads, Compatible with PC & Android, Black

This is a good controller for the price. I just wanted something to replace an old worn out xbox 360 controller for my PC. This is a controller that will live in the living room, get knocked around by pets and potentially get stuff spilled on it. I wanted something that was not expensive and would work, and for that purpose this controller is great. Better than a lot of other non first party controllers and it is wireless. The controller is almost an exact copy of the 360 controller shape. The plastic feels a little hollow but has a good weight in the hands. The joysticks are responsive and the face buttons click satisfyingly. I have been using it to play mass effect and I have had no issues in my 10 ish hours of playing. Controller has already survived a 2 foot drop onto a wood floor while it was charging and survived like a champ. If you need a controller for kids or for something you are going to throw into a bag this is a great option.

he MSI Force GC30V2 has been a fantastic controller for my PC gaming setup. I mainly use it to play Battlefield 6, and the performance is smooth and responsive with zero lag. The dual vibration motors add great feedback during gameplay, and the wireless connection has been rock-solid. It feels comfortable in my hands for long gaming sessions, and the buttons and joysticks have a quality, precise feel. The option to switch to wired when needed is a nice bonus, too. If you’re looking for a reliable, well-built controller for PC gaming, this one delivers.

Love the MSI controller, best one I've used so far. PROs: It works right out of the box. no setup or fighting with any hidden settings or connections to get it to work. It stays connected during use It even has a power save mode that will shut it off after not being used for a while which made me panic the first time as my last controller was a nightmare to get reconnected. The USB dongle that it comes with makes it so much easier to use and reconnecting is an absolute dream. Just push the center dragon logo button and boom, it wakes up and instantly reconnects. CONs: This one is very minor, sometimes one of the buttons makes a slight squeak sound from my finger sliding across the super smooth button surface. Seriously that is my only complaint so far. I've used it for Phasmophobia, Mortal Kombat 11, Hollow Cocoon, over the past week or so since I got it and it is fantastic. It is so nice to have a wireless controller that actually connects and has a decent range (I've not found a limit to it yet, I can play at a comfortable relaxed distance from my desk. Final thoughts, I love it, and highly recommend this MSI controller. I think some complaints were about needing the USB dongle and needing to carry two things with you if you bring it somewhere with you, but honestly having it makes this such a better controller to use. A serious improvement to quality of life in my opinion.

This controller is quite a gamble. I have seen people use ones where the joysticks and D-Pad are perfect, the best pros. Others where the D-Pad can only move four directions no matter how hard you press on the diagonals. Another where the joysticks have Cardinal Snapping. And the worst offender being both of the cons together. I am part of the third group, where the D-Pad is really good with moving all directions with ease. It is my go-to for 2D overhead titles and arguably on par with the Saturn 2D par and 6-button Mega Drive controller. But for the joysticks, I could not be any more unhappy. They have obvious Cardinal Snapping which makes it difficult to aim in FPS games and move around diagonally. I have only used the controller in top form because a friend let me use theirs for a minute. It was very nice and was hoping mine had the same joysticks and D-Pad. But unfortunately, that luck has been weak. The first time I ever got it, the joysticks and D-Pad were bad. Then the second time, only the joysticks. I might try one more time to see if I get both good joysticks and D-Pad, but I won't hold my breath. Other than that, everything else is fine. Buttons are great, analog triggers feel nice and firm and the grip is very comfortable. Only minor criticism is it going with Micro USB Instead of USB-C for the cable port, but that is not a huge problem. Battery life is also very solid, for sure lasting on even the longest of marathons. Despite my complaints, I heavily recommend this controller.

New look and feel as advertised. Buttons and toggle/joy sticks were stiff and responsive. Weight is imbalanced. Connectivity is somewhat reliable. Started exhibiting issues i.e. bluetooth connectivity, battery life, delayed button response, etc. at or around the forth month. Gamepad is lifeless as of this writing. 5 month lifespan. 4 month healthspan.

This controller feels solid and responsive right out of the box. The dual connection modes make it easy to switch between wireless and wired use, and the connection stays stable during gameplay. The dual vibration motors add a nice immersive touch without feeling overwhelming. It’s comfortable to hold for long gaming sessions, with good button feedback and smooth controls. Overall, a reliable and well-built controller that works great for both casual and competitive gaming.

Looks and feels like a sturdy game controller. Keeps a decent charge even when not used for weeks. I get full functionality now as I did on day 1

Worked well enough for about a year of occasional gaming. But then I didn't use it for a few months and recently discovered it just doesn't charge anymore. So keep in mind it probably won't last very long. It's a cheap option.

Los controles son suaves al momento de jugar y tienen buena respuesta, aunque en mi caso particular tengo que desconectarlo y conectarlo para que mi computadora lo detecte, pero cumple su función y no le debe nada a un control de consola original.

العصى اليسرى تنحرف بشكل سيء جدا بحيث لايمكن الاستمتاع باللعب

for around $30 this is a very solid controller, for $60? there vastly beter options. itsaround the weight of a ps4 controller, doesnt leave finger prints, dpad feelsgood, Ive been using it pretty regularly for about 2-3 years with no issues. works flawlessly on linux. The only downside is that theres no compartment to store the dongle inside the controller when youre not using it. i personally just leave the dongle in my pc at all times and simp[ly hitting the MSI button to enable the wireless mode works fine but its just annoying since it would really suck to lose it, small wireless mice ahve had this feature for along time it should have been here too this is my new standard of cheap reliable controllers

6 month update: After 6 months of pretty good usage the right stick has started to malfunction, sometimes causing the controller to be stuck in a position. However this is easily solved by pulling the stock out and pushing it back in. So in terms of quality I would say it's pretty decent as apart from the stick issue, I have dropped the controller at least a dozen or more times on a hardwood floor and not a single piece of it broke off. Good controller, well built and connects seamlessly to my PC. I tried it on two games, Gear Tactics and StarWars Survivor and it worked well on both. Vibration function is the same as console controllers and synced to in-game action. There is a changeable magnetic button which is easy to pull out and change. Love the controller and would recommend it!

Funciona muy bien
