Zwift Play Review - The Good and the Bad
I am using the Zwift Play controllers with Apple TV and The Zwift companion app to get everything connected.
The Good - The Zwift Play controllers are easy to install and use with the Zwift application. Shifting of the virtual gears works. The turning feature is nice. I have used braking twice and it is okay. The menus buttons making navigation easy.
The Bad - After about 10 hours of use, I have two drop outs were the Zwift Play and / or Zwift Hub seems to disconnect from the companion app for a few seconds. Not concerning on a workout or a ride, but in a race this will be bad. The strap on the controllers were pretty tight to get on, but manageable.

Works great
Battery life is great. it syncs up quickly for me (a few seconds, old reviews complained about taking a long time). I like the virtual shifting mostly, but it makes it easy to navigate without using the mouse on a stand next to me (running zwift on the computer and a large tv screen)

Great add-on for Zwift-only users
The Zwift play controllers are fantastic, in a limited setting. If you find yourself on Zwift frequently and enjoy the game elements (rather than just the training aspect), I'd recommend them without reservations. The convenient buttons are significantly better than using the Zwift companion app, and the added ability to steer and brake give you a nice element of immersion. If you use the virtual shifting on Zwift, these are a significant upgrade over the buttons on your bar.
However, they are not without downsides. Connecting them can sometimes be a little fussy, and they do limit the space up on the bar if you like to ride with your hands on the flats. Since it's a closed ecosystem, they can't be configured for any of the other smart trainer programs/apps, which does lock you in to Zwift somewhat further. Despite all this, I'd say that if you're at the point that you're reading reviews and debating getting them, you probably should, you bike obsessed degenerate. Buy them and enjoy your trainer rides a little bit more.
