As a piece of hardware this controller feels very nice - in fact it feels almost as good as the Xbox 360 controller it tries to replicate. The attached mounting bracket holds a variety of phone sizes and orients them well to the user.
The problem it has is compatibility - or the lack thereof. On iOS (iPhone and iPad) the G910 does not support the new Apple controller standard, only iCade mode. While iCade is supported on many iOS games, most new games that will support game controllers will likely not be compatible moving forward.
For other devices, including Android phones and tablets, compatibility will also be lacking. Although the product manually claims it supports the standard Bluetooth HID game controller protocol, it simply doesn't. It shows up as a keyboard. And that means any game that is expecting a bluetooth controller isn't going to work with it as it'll think the controller is a keyboard.
I went out in search of firmware, and the only thing I could find was some sketchy files linked to a mediafire account on Geek Buying's homepage. The updater crashed whenever I tried loading in the firmware and my PC didn't even see any device plugged in when I connected the G910 via USB.
So the bottom line? Avoid it. While it's a passable game controller it really isn't going to be compatible with much of anything.
