Manufacturer description

The QUMOX 2.4GHz wireless gamepad is a budget PC controller built for players who want cable-free desktop gaming without spending much. It runs on a 2.4GHz wireless link with a USB receiver and draws power from two AAA batteries, so there is no internal cell to wear out or charging cable to manage. Compatibility is the detail to read carefully before you buy. QUMOX lists this gamepad as a PC controller that does not support Windows 10, and the manufacturer specifically notes it cannot be used on the Raspberry Pi. That makes it a targeted pick for older Windows builds, legacy emulation boxes…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the QUMOX wireless gamepad work with Windows 10?

No. QUMOX lists this controller as not supporting Windows 10. It is intended for PCs running earlier Windows versions, so confirm your operating system before ordering.

Can I use this controller with a Raspberry Pi for RetroPie?

No. The manufacturer states directly that this controller cannot be used on the Raspberry Pi, so it is not an option for Pi-based emulation builds.

What batteries does the QUMOX gamepad take?

It is powered by two AAA batteries. There is no built-in rechargeable pack, so keep spare AAAs on hand and budget for them as a running cost.

How is it wireless, and do I need Bluetooth?

It uses a 2.4GHz wireless connection rather than Bluetooth, which means a USB receiver on the PC side. Check the product listing to confirm the receiver is included in the box.

Is the QUMOX gamepad worth it at this price?

It reads as a functional budget pad. It makes sense as a cheap second controller for a compatible older PC, not as your primary gamepad.
