Cheaper, but bigger model looks far more serious compared to its “Pro” counterpart at first sight. Very similar to the classic gamepad design, the only different thing is it is slightly smaller than the average gamepad size. When we first pulled it out of the box, we reached the conclusion that there is no cable! After being disappointed that it's not a wireless model after all, we continued our search for the cable.
After a short inspection, we finally realised that it was contained in the device itself. When the backside of the Pandora is opened, one can see a nicely wrapped-up cable. We find that quite useful, as it shrinks the amount of space the gamepad requires, while making it very compact. The device itself cannot pride itself for a top-quality production, and it is also somewhat badly-designed as far as ergonomy is concerned.
After a while, it causes wrist-fatigue. Still, it is necessary to point out that you cannot actually play games on a notebook for a long time anyway. For shorter gaming sessions, the gamepad is well suitable. You have the following buttons at disposal: an 8-way D-pad, 8 programmable buttons, as well as 2 additional buttons – Turbo and Clear, both of which have glowing LEDs inside.
