    For the price and features nothing else compares, I've had 2 other 8bitdo controllers but this one is the best out of all them by far. Feels great and is super light

    It's a comfortable controller that's easy to set up and feels like a quality controller too. It was simple to set up with the Nintendo Switch and my computer, which are the two gaming machines I use.

    This is the must have controller for switch. High quality. The stand can look good any where. Easy to charge. Once done gaming set it on the stand and it's ready the next time.

    One of the best switch “pro” controllers I’ve ever tried tbh. Also works for pc and iPhone really well, you just gotta map the buttons a little differently

    This is a fantastic alternative to the Switch pro controller. The Switch Pro Controller is often out of stock, and the quality and build on this controller is quite close to the first party controller. I'll probably pick up another one.

    I love using this controller. It's easy to go from my Switch to my PC. It feels good to use and is responsive. My only complaint is that the software is a little lackluster and sometimes hard to use. I still appreciate the customization.

    Well built, great features, only gripe is that the grips on the back don't feel very good and the triggers require a lot of force to bottom out. Also had to do some finicking with the beta firmware to get gyro aim on PC.

    This controller is well-made, easy to setup, and feels good in your hands. It's much easier to use than the two small controllers that come with the Switch.

    Great controller. Sticks feel very smooth and responsive . Although, I don’t feel any differences between the hall sticks and regular ones. I like how I can use it on my PC, steam deck, switch and iPad. It’s a little pricey but worth it.

    The controller is very nice it has its own charging stand, has nice buttons, and even has "drift proof" sticks. If i had one complaint it would be that the thing is a little small for my hands but other wise great.
