First off, the Thunderobot G45 Pro feels premium right out of the box. The textured grips and asymmetrical design fit my hands like they were molded for them—no cramping during those marathon 'Ghost of Tsushima' sessions. The Hall Effect sticks? Butter-smooth with zero drift, a godsend after years of worn-out analog sticks on other controllers.

But let’s talk quirks. That 6-axis gyro is fun for tilting through racing games, but I had a few 'wait, why is Link walking off the cliff?' moments in 'Zelda' when it misinterpreted my couch lean as input. The RGB lights are a nice touch (my cat loves batting at the glow), though I turned them off to save battery—which lasts about 8 hours, decent but not stellar.

Connectivity is hit-or-miss. Bluetooth pairs flawlessly with my phone for 'Genshin Impact,' but the dongle? Once it took three resets to recognize my PC. And yeah, no audio jack stings when I want to sneak in late-night gaming without waking anyone.

The triggers are where this shines—responsive clicks for FPS headshots, yet soft enough for gradual acceleration in 'Forza.' But those extra M5/M6 shoulder buttons? Awkwardly placed; I kept fat-fingering them mid-battle until I disabled them entirely.

Verdict? At $50-ish, it’s a solid pick if you prioritize Hall Effect tech and multi-platform use (PC/Switch/mobile). Just don’t expect Xbox-level polish—and maybe keep a USB cable handy for those 'why won’t you connect?!' moments.
