Great Controller to Use for Nintendo Switch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is perfect and very easy to use for the Nintendo Switch. It is very colorful when in use because it lights up when you press the buttons on the controller. I actually prefer to use this type of controller versus use the joycons that come with the switch itself.

PDP Afterglow Wave -- solid Switch controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The balance of this controller was perfect for my wife, and the heft is just about right in my hands as well. The lighting isn't overpowering, and the responsiveness of the sticks is just right. Solid product.

Best after market controller
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What this as a secondary controller, and couldn’t be happier, easy to customize, hold a great charge. Only downside is that it does not vibrate, nor have the amibo reader, but for the price point it’s worth it.

Kids fight over it, Dad loves it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My kids and me (the Dad!) LOVE this controller. The vibrant colors, especially when charging, provide a nice aesthetic. But, more importantly it holds and plays well. Buttons easy to push, comfortable, works like a charm with our Switch. Easy setup, and really impressed with how long it holds a charge -- we go days between playing and it still has battery ready for next gameplay. We'll probably be buying another one soon to replace the standard Joy-Cons -- my kids always fight over this controller! :)

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIt is android and apple compatible
Asked by Unknown.

Answered by JacobS
Q: QuestionHow long does it take to fully charge?
Asked by AandJ091108.
- A:Answer About an hour and i have yet to have it die on me. It will go from glowing red when charging to glowing green when done. It doesn't come with a manual so go to pdp's website, find the controller and download its manual from there (the QR code on the box takes you to a link with many manuals but none of them are for this controller).

Q: QuestionCan you change the color on the controller? Because it was doing all the colors and now it’s just doing purple don’t know how to put it back to all colors
Asked by Lo.
- A:Answer Yes you can change it!! It's a little tricky to understand the modes but hold down the triangle button in middle bottom of paddle and you can either rotate the joysticks to choose your desired color or the L1 and R1 buttons as well!
