Great review! How do you think the Play controller compares to the Avotro controller? From what I can see the Avotro controller is cheaper, does much the same as the Play controller and you can also use it to play real video games as well. Any thoughts?
I wonder how these will fit/work with the Kickr Bike? Will these controllers press up against the Kickr Bike’s steering buttons? Otherwise, a strong hardware addition from Zwift. Thanks for the terrific review.
Do I need to steer with them on my normal group rides? What if I want to use the functionality of the controllers alone, without the steering? Is that possible?
@@DesFit just an update, the controllers aren’t usable in any way on the ergon gp5 grips. I managed to get them usable pretty good but only after making changes to the grips - not easy.
Zwift play is a complete disaster. Only got them when I was no longer able to draft in TTT and after a week they still don’t work. I wish this had never been released.
Finally!!! These are so cool. Definitely ordering to up my Zwift game 🚀 I’m using the 2nd gen AppleTV remote too and it’s a nightmare during a race 😂
Enjoy, Jaden! 🙌
Yasssss! Super cool product. Ordered! Great vid. Also, shout out to the Niner RLT cameo!
Niner represent!
All of your reviews are sooooo good !! 🤗
Thanks!
Another great review as always, take care and keep making great content 😁🚴♀️👍
Thanks!
Just purchased! Can't wait to get my hands on them. Thanks Des!
Enjoy!
Thanks for the great review (as usual)! Are these still of value with a Tacx Neo Plus Smart Bike?
Maybe they will come out with something similar but for running. I always have issue with a few of there running products to work 100%. Great video
That would be cool too. Thanks!
Have folks with Campy Ergo shifters been able to install and use these comfortably?

Sorry, does that controller actually work with Zwift itself?
What abput sprinting ? They seem right in the position on the bars, where you would grasp the bars when sprinting..
Do you know if this functionality will be implemented on the kickr bike?
Would like to understand what happen if I use with another steering device like Elite Rizer...
Can we still steer with a Sterzo while using these for the other controls?

You're welcome
I have them on my Kickr Bike and they fit and feel great. I pair the Zwift Play rather than the Kickr buttons for steering.
@@MITaerobike Thanks. Good to know.

Can it connect using the remote port on ATV? Replacing the original remote....
I will try to use this with MTB handlebars in conjunction with Ergon GP5 grips by attaching to the horns. Hope it will work.
👍

I have the Kickr Bike V2
Is thé Zwift Controllers working on WiFi together with the V2 on WiFi ?
Of only on Bluetooth?
Only Bluetooth
isn't the epix 51mm too large/heavy to wear it 24/7? sorry for off-topic :)
Probably depends on personal preference. Although I tend to prefer the 47mm case size I can still wear the 51mm without much discomfort.
Can it be used for steering control in other apps like RGT?
Zwift only for now.
I think they are pretty cool, even if it was for the better steering.
👍
@@DesFit I am curious how well they will hold up. My retired pro cyclist so isn't so sure. I think $99 is not bad, but $150 no.
Not available in Canada. ☹
Does it use BT and/or ANT?
Bluetooth
Did you buy controllers yet?
