Engadget Review
The Shield Wireless Controller is a solid gamepad in its own right, outfitted with plenty of useful bells and whistles for interacting with your NVIDIA devices. But the high price tag leaves a sting since you can't use it with anything but those NVIDIA devices.
Pros
- Feels good in hand
- Lower latency than Bluetooth controllers
- Clickable mousepad makes menus easy to browse
Cons
- Mousepad is not very sensitive
- Built-in microphone is oversensitive
- Only works with NVIDIA's hardware
- Must be purchased separately

The buttons, triggers, bumpers, and joysticks are all very close in feel.Gizmodo80Nvidia Shield Tablet Review: A Gaming Beast, But SThe good news is that aside from the mortal sin of non-offset thumbsticks (haters come at me), the Shield controller is damn solid as far as mobile controllers, a solid enough be in league with the real, console competition.GameSpot70Nvidia Shield Tablet and Controller ReviewOn the whole, the controller works well, with its proprietary WiFi connection remaining stable throughout.SlashGear80NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet ReviewThe SHIELD Wireless Controller connects and responds - or by all means seems to connect and respond - as quick as a PS4 or an Xbox One controller.Android Central90NVIDIA Shield Tablet reviewIf you're serious about gaming with your Shield Tablet, or have any intention at all of using it in Console Mode while connected to a TV across the room, you just have to go with the Shield Wireless Controller.DroidLife70NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet and SHIELD Controller ReviewAll in all, the SHIELD Controller is a sweet little piece of hardware, perfectly paired with the SHIELD Tablet, but we do sort of wish that it was priced at $49.99 instead of $59.99.Android Police90NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet Review: It's Hard To OverstatIt's a solid piece of gaming equipment, and easily the best controller available for Android today.
