NVIDIA Shield Wireless Controller – Worth the $60 price tag?

1. 1000 Like

2. The tablet and box are worth every penny. The controller is not.

3. I'm wondering if I can use this controller with emulators: NESoid, SNESoid, John lite NES, etc because it's through a wireless and not bluetooth connection?

4. Can two controllers be used at same time?

5. Why the ** is there not software for programmable buttons for PC! It's not even ***** wireless!! FFS Added a sick * touch pad but they lay out the buttons for you and it doesn't know wtf bluetooth is? ** **

6. the volume , mic and the touch bottons don't work anymore on mine! and the light on the volume botton is switched off! I have discounted the pad n reconnected but still nothing any idea?

7. Please do a tutorial on how to pair the controller with any android device

8. Why do we need this. We don't need a controller to play Flappy Bird or Color Switch :/

9. I just want a wireless control pad for my PC gaming laptop I hate cables any recommendations?

10. Coming from a person thats not the biggest fan of mobile gaming this controller is badass and is better than that tank called the Wii U Gamepad.

11. $60 isn't that expensive when you compare it to the price of PS3/PS4 and Xbox 360/Xbox One controllers. Even brand name PC wireless controllers like the Logitech F710 are around that price point.

12. You look ugly , lol

    Joking

13. does the mouse part work on the nvidia shield tv?

14. My mouse pad doesn't work wonder why

15. Does it affect the controller if loads of ppl are using internet like lag etc? As its a wifi controller

16. i went to update the controller and it bricked it, the minute i got it… 🙁

17. IS COMPATIBLE WITH NVIDIA SHIELD Carrying Case?

18. When you use the WiFi model, do you need WiFi to connect the controller to the Shield? If this sounds like a stupid question, im a tech savvy guy so I'm  sorry

19. This controller works on my PC. Don't know why the video reviewer says it only works with Shield devices.

20. Nvidia shud make a pc optimized version of it. Basically just add Bluetooth or a wireless dongle and replace the Android buttons with let's say a Windows button, a start button for games, and some other button (not sure what else would be useful for a pc controller), sell it for the same price point and make shit tons of money

21. How's the D-pad?

22. now they let u use it for pc

23. Don't ever buy the Nyko Playpad Pro, or their products. The controllers they send are DOA (dead on arrival). Sadly, it has a great design. Too bad THE WHOLE FUCKING CONTROLLER IS DEFECTIVE.

    Just a warning. I read reviews of it on amazon, and 2/3's of them say DOA. I thought they might've did something wrong with the controller. Please. Listen to the reviews and don't take the risk of you are going to buy they nyko.

24. Anyone sees the downfall of this Nvidia tablet and the super cool controller? It's a one to one experience, what it means is you're buying an overpriced tech which soon will be obsolete. The controller works through wifi, so where do you find best reliable wifi? It's your house. Why would you play games on a tablet at your house when everyone has a big tv? At first I thought this would make a cool traveling companion when you crave a gaming fix. But the lack of the bluetooth on the controller, you can't do much. Don't count on the wifi at your hotel, or guesthouse or public places. In conclusion, the Nividia tablet and its controller are basically useless to me.

25. your intro sucks

26. @Android Authority does this tablet work with a ps3 controller

27. You can use a Headset with the controller for streaming.

28. is it possible to play on it on PC while plugged with usb?

29. Please do a review of nvidia grid streaming service

30. Can you use this on Android TV?

31. $60.00? I used your link and found $104.00

35. I saw towelroot on the home screen – does it work on the shield tablet?

36. Full review is next I suppose?

37. Can anyone recommend a good controler for an android phone.

38. I feel kinda burned after buying a Tegra Note 7 and seeing that things like Console Mode and support for this controller are being left out, so I'm not too keen on buying another Nvidia product after being the victim of what's clearly planned obsolescence… buuut, if they turn the Shield platform into a true console, I'm all in. If they could sell the guys of this tablet inside a console along with one of these controllers for $200-250, I'd buy it in an instant, because ultimately that's what I really want, a solid Android console (and not a toy like the Ouya).

39. I see you got the root lol, I just rooted mine last night!

40. i fail to see the point of a dedicated controller for a device that u are supposed to hold in hand to play

41. Just bring it

42. Awww he missed the little surprise on the lid or top (whatever its call) of the box…

43. I cant click to watch on tablets Josh. You forgot the links in the description 😉

44. I have the old version of that nyko gamepad for my ps3
