   I’m not going to lie, I’m a fan of this controller. The only downside is that it’s not Bluetooth and requires a USB dongle, but that’s not a big deal. It has a good range and offers multiple modes, including a turbo mode, which is a nice feature if you’re trying to turn a semi-automatic into an automatic in a first-person shooter game. The controller also comes with two different D-pad buttons that you can swap out, which is great if you prefer using the D-pad for movement instead of the analog stick. It’s very customizable, and the clicking sound is quite satisfying. The first thing that impressed me was how nice the quality feels in your hands—it’s much better than I expected. A big bonus is the adjustable weights inside, so you can balance it out to your liking. It even allows you to customize the analog sensitivity in real time, which is great for sniping or fine-tuning your aim while playing, without needing to go into the settings menu every time. Overall, if you’re looking for a customizable controller with cool features, I recommend this one. For the price, it’s worth every dollar.

   Despite my low expectations for this controller, I became eager during the unboxing, but was later highly disappointed when attempting to connect it to my PS5. There’s a ton of potential for this controller. The physical buttons are nice and the adjustable trigger stop feature is genius. However, none of this matters if the controller is unable to connect to the console or computer, which occurred in my case. And I know that there is no mention of Playstation at all both in the listing of the controller or the manuals, but I wanted to try it out anyways. So I wasn’t completely let-down, that was, until I found out that I couldn’t get it to work with my Acer gaming laptop either. My computer recognized the controller as a mouse, and even when I overcame that issue, it still did nothing when I messed around with the buttons. It’s likely I’ve got a lemon.

   There are several things to like about this controller. It feels good to hold, it has a set of optional weights for giving it just the right amount of heft for your preference, has on board storage for the USB receiver, and the adjustable sensitivity for the thumbsticks is an interesting and occasionally useful feature. Unfortunately, the unit I received had a glaring flaw that keeps me from being able to recommend the controller: a left thumbstick that would continually get locked into position and fail to snap back to zero when released. Maybe yours won’t, so here’s what I otherwise thought of the controller. Regarding the defining feature of the Asura 3S – adjustable thumbstick sensitivity – I found that there was no issue with changes during intense gameplay. The adjustment rings have just the right amount of resistance and a low enough profile that they stay put until I was ready to make a shift. If you’re hoping it’ll help give you fine-tuned aiming ability in your favorite FPS, however, you may be disappointed. Though with practice it might be possible to make rapid adjustments on-the-fly, I generally found it too fiddly to be useful for time-sensitive operations. Further, the feature works by reducing the maximum sensitivity rather than tweaking the deflection curve. Here’s an example: In the 3rd person game Tormented Souls, walking is accomplished by moving the thumbstick slightly, and running by moving it further. The threshold for walking, however, is very limited, making it too easy to run by accident. Turning the adjustment ring the right number of clicks made it so that the character would only run at maximum deflection. Unfortunately, this also meant that the cursor moved very slowly on the frequently accessed inventory screen. This is where a better implementation of this feature wouldn’t limit the top end, but rather adjust the deflection curve, allowing for more precise control throughout most of the thumbsticks deflection range while preserving the top end speed when the thumbstick is pushed all the way. The optional D-pad piece, reminiscent of the Xbox elite pads, was a nice touch. The contacts below, however, frequently enough registered double presses, making menu navigation and retro games more frustrating than they were designed to be. In total, given that this controller is as affordable as it is while also packing in an innovative (if arguably imperfect) new feature and customizations typically only found in top-end controllers, this would be a pretty good buy. And if they change the way sensitivity adjustment works in the next iteration of this controller I’d be excited to try it out. But until Beitong can assure me the sticky thumbstick issue is definitively resolved, I’m unlikely to acquire another.

   This controller gets the job done for gaming on PC. It’s comfortable in your hand, and has weights you can put in if you want a heavier controller. The light isn’t so bright as to be distracting which is nice. The buttons are clicky, rather than smooth, so that is probably a matter of preference. I’ve been playing with it plugged into my usb so I haven’t had to worry about bluetooth connectivity or battery life, so I can’t really speak to those. You can adjust the thumbstick sensitivity and it has progammable paddle buttons on the back. I don’t have any responsivity or lag issues. This is a perfectly serviceable PC controller.

   I was excited to use this controller as I have had a Beitong Asura 2 Pro controller for a few months now with now issues.
   For the price, the controller is great. Buttons, thumbsticks, and switches feel very good. Got it to pair to bluetooth and USB receiver with no issue.
   The first controller I received no longer powered on or charged after over a weeks worth of daily use.
   Thought it was a dud, and exchanged it with akiya-switch.com for another one.
   The second controller is now also dead after a little over a week of daily use.
   What are the chances they were both duds? Maybe others have better luck.
