Pros
Pro Built-in rechargable battery (380mAh)
The built in battery provides 6 hours of gaming, which can easily be recharged through a USB adapter as the battery is rechargeable. You won't have to buy batteries, or worry about having batteries on hand.
Pro Includes retractable phone holder
The phone holder really helps out, as when playing games you'll have both hands on the controller and won't be able to hold your phone. You would need to prop it up somewhere (if you could find a spot).
The arm can fit phones up to 9 centimeters wide. This means anyone with a device that size or smaller can clip it into the controller, making for a convenient form factor while gaming. Because of the width, it can even fit small phones with a case on it.
Pro Supports many operating systems
Supports Android 4.3+, iOS, WinXP/Win7/Win8 and Android TV.
Pro Has L2 and R2 buttons
Has ergonomically placed L2 and R2 buttons on the back.
Pro 5 multimedia keys
There are multimedia keys on the device that allow control while using multimedia apps such as movie players or music players. This can be convenient for when the controller is in ones hands instead of their device.
Cons
Con Unreleased
GameBeat is currently in an 'Early Access' development phase and details of its release are yet to be announced.
Con Cheap-feeling build
The controller is lightweight and gives a feeling it may break when dropped due to the flimsy design. While this is a cheap controller it would have been nice to have a sturdier build to it.
Con Instructions are written in Chinese
The in-the-box instructions are all in Chinese. In order to read them in English, you need the online English PDF manual.
