    I needed a new controller because my last one (ps4 controller) was having connectivity problems. To say I have been very happy with this controller would be an understatement. Also I have had it for months now and have had no problems.

    Light weight, feels comfortable, and low latency. Easy to setup and use. Great for emulators and just about anything that supports a gamepad.

    I am very happy with this controller. My main usage is to connect via Bluetooth to Steam Deck when played in Dock mode. This is the first controller I've bought that beats Sony or Microsoft for easy connectivity and reliability, and it performs brilliantly in that setting. I've tried Xbox and other 8bitdo controllers for that usage, but this was the best. Highly recommend.

    This is a fantastic wireless controller and is particularly good if you need a controller to easily swap between PC and Switch use! The controller connects effortlessly to PC using the USB adapter right out of the box. Buttons, triggers, and overall grip are comfortable and feel responsive!

    Great controller all around. Amazing value for $70. Build quality is solid, buttons are pretty standard with back buttons. Joysticks are hall effect sticks that supposedly doesn't cause any drift, and most importantly, doesn't have any dead zones. The control using these joysticks with no dead zone is very responsive and can't be described in words. Won't be able to comment on longevity but just for how it performs, it is worth the price for sure. Not to mention the charging dock and the integrated usb passthrough for the dongle is a very nice bonus.

    I bought this controller because I wanted a high quality controller to use with my switch while still being able to use it for PC gaming when necessary. The controller's features go above and beyond what I could ask for including the high quality hall effect joysticks, the receiver pass-through in the charging dock, the ability to wake the switch wirelessly, and remappable buttons. I was mostly impressed with the attention to detail the designers had, with the fact that the controller automatically turns on when removed from the dock and turns off when placed back on it. Couldn't be happier.

    It turns out that a picture isn't worth a thousand words. You have to look very close. Then you will notice the charging dock is in the picture. Also the layout for the YXBA varies. The one I got was XYAB. The TV didn't care about the layout however. The same couldn't be said for the game portal. I had to adjust my game play because the button location remains the same. The controller functionality is verify responsive. Unfortunately my controller didn't last a week. This is my first time using this product. Normally my controller fails from over use by people who are overly aggressive with them. Like spamming buttons.

    I've had this for about a year and it still holds up well when I use it to play on the Switch or PC. No problems with latency, charging, or overall functionality. The only issue I've been having is occasionally it will disconnect for a few seconds on PC and it will take a little bit for it to reconnect again. Not a big deal most of the time even when playing PvP games, but still annoying when it happens. Not sure if it's the controller or my PC, but I haven't had this issue with other controllers.

    High quality controller with halls effects sticks. Drift shouldn’t be an issue. Overall controller feels good in the hand and is similar in shape to a standard switch pro controller. Decent vibration and gyro seems fine. Main controller I use with my switch now, for nearly everything except when playing undocked or Switch Sports. Comes with a charging dock and 2.5ghz dongle that is easily stored in said dock. Great value, quality and brand through and through.

    It’s really good. Don’t be fooled by instructions though. We almost thought it was broken because the wireless connection was so bad but turns out the usb receiver for it is hidden in a compartment beneath the charger itself. And you also have to flip the switch on the controller to put it into 2.5 mode for the usb.

    This controller is so nice, I only wish that it worked with PC without a dongle and solely on Bluetooth. When I am gaming on my laptop I just don't want to mess with a dongle, and I get they have a version now that will do this but I also don't want the cheap Xbox logo on it either. But other than that one little thing, its better than an Xbox controller.
