Some games don't work well
I bought this as a present for my partner who loves driving games, but some of the games really don't work well with that little steering wheel and after playing it for a couple of days it ended up in the cupboard of doom in our dining room and will probably be never seen again.

Not robust
The joystick broke on the first day of use. I can’t find anywhere to contact the seller. It was received today as a birthday present and after very little use the ball on the joystick broke off and is now still working but unusable.
