I normally don't write reviews, but I noticed that I bought this product before it had any reviews and now it still doesn't. I use this with a jailbroken iPod Touch to emulate old video game systems wherever I want. Playing NES games using a touch screen just doesn't work. This does. Set up is easier in some emulators than in others. It set up without a hitch for emulators for: Genesis, NES, Gameboy and Gameboy Color. It set up easily with the SNES emulator with one caveat; there aren't enough buttons....it is one button short. This means that either you don't I assign the least used button for a game, or you don't assign an "emulation menu" button. The MAME emulator is a pain to set up with this, but with perseverence it'll work. That being said, my iPod Touch 4G doesn't seem to have enough internal power to connect to Bluetooth and run the MAME emulator so it crashes anyway (this is a limitation of the iPod, not the controller).
Overall I gave this 5 stars. The "one button short" issue I described with the SNES emulator is an easy work around. The controller was much more responsive than I expected. I've noticed no lag (except for MAME, which is a hardware issue) and can play some of the more intense button pushing games without any button pushed not registering.
The biggest con with this controller is that the battery case has to be unscrewed to change the batteries, which means if you want back up batteries, you'll need a backup screw driver as well.
