Cross-platform wireless gamepad that works with Windows-based computers and laptops, Sony PlayStation 3 console and Android smartphones. The main connection method is a classic wireless radio receiver with a range of up to 10 meters. The layout of the buttons was an Xbox gamepad layout with asymmetrical sticks, an understated D-pad, perpendicular triggers, and the main “ABXY” buttons. Due to the additional Turbo and Home buttons, the total number of buttons reaches 12 pieces. It has an ergonomic shape and a pleasant to the touch coating that prevents your hands from sliding on the surface of the case while playing with friends. Canyon CND-GPW3 stands out from other entry-level wireless gamepads due to the presence of built-in LED lights that illuminate the main buttons with the right stick..., as well as signal the device is running out of power. Powered by a non-replaceable 600 mAh lithium-ion battery. For feedback from the player, a pair of miniature vibrotors were built into the case, which react to the player's actions.

I was satisfied with the gamepad, I recommend it for purchase.

Bought for PC. There were no problems with compatibility, all games are supported, you don’t need to configure or install anything, you paired and gambled, it’s very convenient. I can’t compare with console gamepads, and for such a price, it’s stupid to do it.

For such a price, it is difficult to say about significant shortcomings, therefore, there is nothing to complain about.

Quality, response. Fits comfortably in the hand. Buttons are visible in the dark, which is very convenient.
You can adjust the brightness of the buttons and the vibration of the joystick.
The buttons that light up are a bit stiff.
But that's more of an acquired taste.

Great joystick to replace the pro controller.

I took it for a switch and a PC. Very handy compared to standard joycons. The travel of the sticks is longer, which is convenient, but at first, it is unusual. On the switch, do not forget to enable the wired connection of the pro controller, otherwise it will not work. While I found this option, I almost broke the joystick - the instructions do not say this.
The weight. Omnivorous. Long stick travel. Soft button presses. The vibration is much weaker than the original ones. I liked it, but someone may be a disadvantage.
There is no charge indicator - it is not visible when fully charged. The instructions are not complete.

Motion Control

Canyon CND-GPW3 is a wireless gamepad for PCs, smartphones, as well as PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch gaming consoles. Its main distinctive feature is the gyroscope, which allows character control in the game through hand movements. Officially, the gyroscope works only on the Nintendo console, but it can be activated on a PC through the Better Joy app.

Multicolor Backlight

The stick placement is asymmetrical, similar to native Xbox and Switch gamepads. However, users of symmetrical PlayStation gamepads will need some time to adjust. The body is made of practical matte plastic: it doesn't scratch and doesn't slip from sweaty hands. The ABXY action buttons are backlit to make them easier to distinguish in the dark.

Ergonomic D-pad

The D-pad is separate, which is better for platformer games as it allows for more precise jump direction selection. However, for fighting games, a solid eight-way D-pad is more convenient for speeding up super moves. Nonetheless, like with the sticks, it ultimately comes down to personal taste and habit. There are two vibration motors for expressive feedback.
