    Love this rechargeable wireless option for my kids

    My daughter loves this remote. So many color options (purple option, black and I saw blue), rechargeable, and the charge holds for hours. We played family feud on new years for several hours. Different color glow for charging and fully charged. Great buy!

    Lights over rumble

    This is a great substitute for the switch pro controller. This does almost everything the pro controller does except for the rumble, but you do get the lights. Setup is easy and it comes with a charge right out of the box. The switch easily paired to it and actually connects faster than the joycons at the L+R controller page. So this is the same size as the pro controller but is tad lighter-- probably because of the lack of rumble mechanism. But the grip though, for some reason is better than the pro. It couldn't be because it is newer-- the lights area do not have ridges but do have a change of texture so maybe that helps with the grip. The back buttons are easy to reach and it really feels more comfortable to hold. Same size, more comfy-- can't pinpoint why. The build is great and looks durable and solid. Looks like it can take a beating. Now the lights, which I think is a plus. Is so easy to setup. Color, brightness level, light behavior all easy to figure out even without the manual. I only have one of these but they actually help after a quick break. Usually when I play with the kids, each one has an assigned joycon color. But in smash Bros, everyone reaches for the pro controllers because it reduces button spamming fatigue. Since we only have two pro controllers, the two kids who have the pros either have to remember what player number they are and look under the controller, or they usually end up switching controllers once we resume. The RGB will help with letting us know who has what controller. For now, we only have one of these afterglows but I will get 2 more because lighting is more useful than the rumble. For the programmable buttons, it is a nice to have for me because I could not make it work YET. The challenge is, playing Zelda TOTK, when you shield surf, it requires a certain timing. I was trying to program the right back button for the shield surf and the left button for the flip dodge. But I can't program while playing to see if my timing is correct. Maybe I have to play for a longer time to get the finger muscle memory before I program. But that my only gripe: I need to see my programming in action because the action set I want it for is pretty critical and it needs precise timing. I love the black and not a fan of other colors and the lights have the option to make it look less boring when the kids have it. Overall it is a very good controller. No connectivity or delay issues. It's very comfortable and battery life is great after 5 sessions so far. I think, it is a great alternative to the pro controller. I recommend!
