I bought this controller to use docked because Joy-Cons just aren’t comfortable for longer gaming sessions. This was immediately a night-and-day difference. The controller feels solid and well-built, with a comfortable grip that works great for adult hands. The analog sticks are smooth and responsive, and the buttons have a satisfying, quiet click. I’ve used it for longer play sessions without hand fatigue. Battery life is excellent — I only have to charge it occasionally even with regular use. Pairing with the Switch was quick and painless, and connection has been rock-solid with no drops or lag. Only minor downside: it’s more expensive than third-party controllers, but the quality and reliability make it worth it. If you play docked often or want a more traditional controller feel, this is absolutely worth picking up

Picked this up as a second controller and went with the white color. It looks clean and modern in person and hasn’t shown dirt or wear so far. Comfort-wise, this is exactly what I wanted. The grips feel solid, the sticks are smooth and accurate, and the buttons are responsive without being loud. It’s a huge upgrade over Joy-Cons for longer sessions, especially when playing docked. Battery life has been excellent — I don’t have to think about charging it often. Pairing was quick and it’s stayed connected without any issues. Small con: like most first-party controllers, it costs more than third-party options, but the build quality and reliability justify it. If you want a comfortable, dependable controller and like a cleaner aesthetic, this is a great choice.

Love that this controller has the macro and turbo function built-in! The software to record the macro is a little clunky, but you get used to it quick!
