----—original review
Much improved over the previous gen Shield controller. For anyone that has one of those I can safely say this is worth the upgrade.
Buttons:
-They definitely reworked the A B X Y buttons to be more firm. They are not mushy and are feel more solid than the previous generation.
-The L2, R2 triggers are more like the Sony PS4 controller triggers now, and have a good response to them.
-The Analog sticks are much improved and are not slippery like the previous gen was (I had to use PS4 stick covers so my fingers wouldn't slip on the previous gen controller). It feels more like an Xbox analog stick for grip.
-The power "touch pad" is gone and replaced with a physical power "button" that you push down to turn on... Thank you Nvidia this was much needed.
-The DPAD... my one hope was that they would improve this, and they did. The previous gen was mushy and made it hard to play emulators. I am happy to say that this is like the Xbox One S or Elite controller DPAD. Each direction on mine is clicky and very responsive.
Feel:
-This controller has a cold metallic feel, and the build quality is night and day compared to the creaky old controller.
-The smaller form factor of the controller feels nicer in your hand (my personal preference).
Connection and Latency:
-I am OCD for controllers and controller lag. I have compared this against 2 previous gen Shield controllers, a Moga Power, Gamesir G3s and G4s, and the Xbox one S controller. My biggest worry with them going to Bluetooth from the previous Wifi Direct was input latency increasing. I am happy to report that when I was doing my tests the controller appears to be on par with the Wifi Direct previous gen. I saw no noticeable latency doing jumps in Mario and other emulator games. For comparison, the Moga Power has tons of input latency and should be avoided.
1. feels good in hand and I can reach all the buttons and toggles well. Toggles are concave so no slippage.
2. once paired as bluetooth it worked like a champ.
3. so far, long battery life. I have done a couple all day sessions of Fallout 4 and it kept going.
4. three buttons across bottom and hard to see in a picture. Control buttons for tablet and some other items. One on the right I pegged a few times and may be my fault as I am not a controller person. Button on right is for exiting game and back to shield. Not sure if it's a good spot. Hit it a lot early on. Just occasionally now.
5. would be nice if I could wireless into one of my sets of headphones, but it's a nice feature to have jack built into controller.
Overall, pretty happy with it and I have gone from a skill 1 with controller to about an 7 in two weeks.

Reviewed in Sweden on May 14, 2023
Mais je ne voulais pas acheter cette manette Nvidia à cause du prix prohibitif de 70 €.
J'ai fini par céder, et je ne regrette pas mon achat.
OUI, le prix est trop élevé pour une manette de jeux, mais la qualité est au RDV.
Au premier abord elle ne paie pas de mine, mais au niveau de la plasturgie, de l'ergonomie, de la sensibilité des touches, cette manette n'a rien à envier à une manette Xbox One ou la Switch Pro Controller.
Mention spéciale pour le plastique, qui est très particulier, mais éviter le côté transpiration.
Produit officiel Nvidia oblige, elle se connecte parfaitement à votre Shield TV via le WIFI : aucune latence constatée, je sors mes combos à Street Fighter IV sans sourciller.
Au final, les produits Nvidia Shield TV c'est comme les voitures Mercedes : c'est cher, donc pas accessible à toutes les bourses, mais la qualité est vraiment au RDV.
