Pros
Pro Foldable arm lets you game on-the-go
The front part of the controller folds out into an arm. This makes gaming on the go extremely convenient. The arm can fit a phone with a maximum width of 3.2" (82mm). Your phone will most probably fit in there even with a case on.
Pro Internal battery can charge your phone while playing
The internal 2200mah battery of the MOGA Pro Power is capable of charging your phone via USB while playing. This will reduce the battery life of the controller, however it's a convenient option to have when gaming on the go.
Pro Convenient, and free to recharge
There is an internal 2200mah battery that can be charged through USB. You won't need to worry about having batteries on hand, or have the added cost of purchasing batteries for the controller.
Pro Very comfortable to hold and well balanced
The MOGA Pro Power is a full sized controller, just like a PS3 or XBox gamepad. Most Android controllers are smaller, which makes them more cramped and uncomfortable for longer use. A larger controller fits your hands better, making it more comfortable. Since you can place your phone on the unfoldable arm, it helps balance the phone's weight better so it isn't as top-heavy.
Pro Good quality analog sticks
The analog sticks are on par with any top of class controller. They feel solid, comfortable and give you great control.
Pro Dual wireless profiles
It has both the MOGA profile and the generic HID profile for greater overall support.
Pro Great design
XBox controllers have inimitable quality and design. XBox controllers feel substantial in the hand, and are comfortable to hold onto for hours on end.
Pro Plug and play
Works out of the box as Android recognizes USB peripherals. You will need a USB OTG cable (can be found online for $2-3 usually) to power the controller, but once you have that it's just plug and play.
Pro Good value for money
The wired controller is often sold under $30, but feels solid.
Pro Good availability
You can find it almost everywhere. Easy to find and purchase.
