I bought the refurbished version of this controller and from what I can tell it is just as good as a brand new one. My wife lost the original remote to my fire tv stick and I saw this as I was about to buy the replacement remote and decided to upgrade the control at the same time. Works great for all of the games I've tried so far including a ton of old classic console games. Familiar layout similar to Xbox controls should be easy to adapt to for pretty much anyone. Even my wife can get into playing sonic the hedgehog with this. My 3-year-old can use it comfortably enough to pick which episode of caillou or dinosaur train to watch on Netflix and Amazon prime video.
More comfortable than it looks. This is the first generation model and I am perfectly happy with it's size and feel. It feels to be made of very thick plastic and should hold up to some punishment. Assuming the circuitry doesn't fail it should be a great controller. I will be buying a second controller at some point and will update this review when I can evaluate the differences between the first and second generation controllers.
This is a great controller to use with Amazon Fire games; we purchased it for our son, who is seven and even his little hands have no trouble using all of the buttons. It seems very sturdy and you can even use it as a remote for your Fire stick (when you misplace the itty bitty one like we do!).
My son hasn't stopped playing games on Fire TV since we've received this controller. He has been begging me for a gaming system but I think he is too young for one as of now. This was the perfect solution. He feels like he is gaming because of the controller and I don't have to spend tons of money on the gaming system and expensive games! It's a win/win!
This Amazon Fire Game Controller is amazing; truly. I spent the money and shipping charges to receive this; it works well, right out of the box.

Description
Test
Very nice controller. Comfortable & fast response in all games. Great job!! Please work on making these available more often on amazon's web-sight.
I bought this item over 3 years ago and it’s still going strong; especially being refurbished! Very durable with children as children can be rough with electronics.
Controller works great with my fire. Could be a little more comfortable in the hand. Looks like Amazon addressed this in the new model.
I like this one better. I have this one. it has the play,pause forward and reverse buttons. The All New Amazon Game Controller does not. Please don't stop making this one. Thank you,
Got this for my son and it's a nice controller. I like the weight when I'm using it and it functions as the fire tv remote as well.
