Review: Decently responsive for action games, familiar configuration

I like the classic configuration of this controller for games, and it's comfortable to use and more responsive than the Fire game controller. It's not as sensitive as most console controllers, but since Android games are simpler than console games, it's responsive and fast enough.It took two times to get it paired correctly with the Fire TV, the first time the left hand joystick didn't work. Unpairing then repairing it corrected that.It's responsive enough to play action games like Sonic the Hedgehog, and since the configuration is similar to the Xbox 360, it's easy to learn to use.I do like it better than the Fire TV game controller for it's configuration and responsiveness, and my son agrees. But the Fire TV controller is more comfortable to hold on to, and you can replace the batteries instead of having to recharge the whole controller. So I think it depends on the types of games you're playing- if you play primarily RPG type games where responsiveness isn't as important, you might like the Fire game controller better.
