    Amazing controller. Feels great in the hand and is so easy to setup. I have used and own all manner of modern controllers, and this one is easily my preference these days.

    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.

    Best controller i've owned. The charging dock/stand really sets it apart from other controllers. The extra trigger buttons are a nice tough. It may as well be an Xbox elite controller for a much less price tag.

    It can easoly turn the switch on and connect to your computer just wity the switch of a button. At first i was skeptical on why the controller was so pricey but it seems to be worthvthe price. It feels better than the switch pro controller as well.

    Great controller for switch and PC gaming. The switch on the back lets you switch from using the USB dongle to Bluetooth connection. Grip is very comfortable as well.

    Using mine with my docked Steam Deck. Recommend use the doggle and 2.4 hz connection. The Steam Deck will work with this controller with bluetooth, however, the lag is really bad. The craddle is amazing, for holding it and charging it. Has good quailty feel of material.
