ZD O+ Excellence Wireless Controller

ZD O+ Excellence Wireless Controller

The ZD O+ is a premium feeling product with a few exceptions. To start with the good: the controller overall feels great, and is very comfortable. The face buttons and sticks were also good and the modularity was also appreciate. The rest was varying levels of middling. The Dpad is very light which could be to your tastes, but are not to mine. It felt fine and accurate enough, but was very unremarkable at best. There weren't any misinputs at least, but the actuation wasn't quite there. The back paddles are about the same as the Xbox Elite back paddles which is to say not great, but the modularity is good and you can exchange them for better feeling ones so that's a plus. The shoulder buttons however felt awful, and compared to the rest of the controller distractingly cheap. The plastic used here and on the triggers did not feel good. The triggers were good enough, and the switch to make them a microswitch as opposed to analogue worked well. Similar comments apply to the claw buttons next to the shoulder and triggers.

Good stuff... Especially for the price...

To Gadgethyper: was a bit worried about ordering due to current tariff shipping issues between China and the US, but took the leap and experience was great! I forgot to add something to my order so placed a second figuring I'd pay shipping twice as punishment for rushing, but y'all saw two orders, refunded the shipping on one and included that second order in the same package! Had some concerns with USPS once it was in the US and you even followed up to check on it for me! You all are amazing!

To the controller: Haven't had a lot of time with it yet but got a whole bunch of the modules and swapping them out was easy! Controller itself feels amazing. All the parts feel great and once I had swapped out the modules for the extras i ordered it felt amazing for the short period I tested it out. Manual and app are all in Chinese which I personally can't read but translation on phones is good enough now that it's not a big issue at all for me.

As mentioned in another review the app was a bit tricky to find but found info on the website that helped. Also in the Chris Person article on Aftermath about this controller lists a search term you can copy and paste in the iOS app store to find the app. it also has the name ZDGame for me in the ios app store.

Got it on recommendation from an Aftermath article. Feels amazing: sensitive and customizable (though the app is hard to find on the App Store). Its modular nature means it can be altered significantly. It just rules as a controller. Responsive, nice size, and very comfortable.
