Paid $30 for this on special. It's an unbeatable value at that price; nothing comes remotely close. This beats a lot of controllers that cost double.
Pros
+ excellent customization (stick deadzone, hair triggers, etc)
+ many configuration options can be done directly with the controller
+ sticks feel smooth as glass
+ sticks won't drift
+ can rearrange face buttons
+ includes charging dock AND 2.4ghz adapter
+ lighting effects are nice and can be turned off if they aren't your thing
+ faceplates available
+ wakes switch from sleep
+ has an off switch
Cons
- d-pad is horrible, very hard to pivot. biggest disappointment on the controller
- gyro randomly resets position for me. This can be fixed with a firmware update, might be solved by the time you read this
- the shortcut buttons on the back are easy for me to hit by accident, but this could be a plus if you want something twitch-friendly. I simply disable them
Overall, I'd take this over the Nintendo Switch Pro controller any day of the week. It's a straight upgrade.

The controller has really good response and the buttons are really well well built and also you could swap up the button letters to what game you’re playing if you’re playing new games or old-school games I like that it has a charging stand so you don’t have to plug in a cable every time you need to charge it And I like that when you pick it up out of the charging it automatically connects to your computer without doing much work the only thing that I did not like is the software it’s a little bit buggy sometimes but it works all right when you wanna map the controller or remove the RGB lights also you need to be careful on one of the software’s. If you have the wrong controller I don’t know if they’re already fixed this but if you try to connect it to to that type of program, it will break the controller so it will stop working so read the description and what kind of model of controller you have

This controller is right up there with Xbox series X/S controllers, also has hall affect joysticks and triggers and nice RGB lighting and a docking station and trigger adjusters, for $39, It would be silly to buy an official switch or switch 2 controller over this for less than half the price.

Bought this so on sale for more controllers for our youth group smash brothers matches we play and the kids love it. Bought a second one and going to brand it with our church logo and it will be the grand prize in our Smash Bros tournament!
It even comes with a nice dock to charge it on and removea le faceplate so that the buttons can be swapped depending on what system you are playing on!

So far i really like these remotes. They look grest and the charge cradle is a nice clean setup. Connects to my switch 2 perfectly. BUT the one thing I don’t understand is the led lights on the remote. Mine flickers like crazy all while im playing, its a bit distracting and also i fear it runs the battery down. Also, the rumble feature can get extreme.

The GameSir Super Nova Wireless Gaming Controller is extremely versatile—compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PC, iOS, and Android. It arrived in perfect condition and works flawlessly. The Hall Effect sticks and triggers give it a premium feel, and the included charging dock is a great bonus. So far, I’m very satisfied with its performance across multiple devices.

Charging Dock Convenience I Wish I Knew Sooner

I’ve been using this with my Nintendo Switch, and I can’t believe I didn’t know how convenient a charging dock could be until now. It’s incredibly easy to use, and I don’t have to hunt for cables anymore. This model’s dock is especially great—you can just drop the controller in, and it fits perfectly. The pretty LED adds a nice decorative touch as well. Most importantly, there’s no worry about drift thanks to the hall effect, and it feels great in the hand. Both my kid and I can play comfortably, and it’s so ergonomic that we even end up reaching to grab this controller instead of each other’s—it works for both small and adult hands.

This controller is excellent. It feels great, buttons are nice and tactile. Triggers are reliable, no lag that I can detect. It’s got a good weight to it, the included charging stand is handy albeit not as used as I expected. And the color is glorious. I would not waste money on the Pro 2 Controller.

Great controller, feels extremely high quality for the price, and the Hall effect sticks are great along with the back buttons!

The picture shows a Famicom looking red but the actual color is bright red. Buyers beware. Controller’s bluetooth disconnecs every so often. Play with the wireless dongle connection.

Great comfy controller that comes with a nice charging deck and led and many ways to customize it, makes me wonder how they are able to sell this for 30 bucks. But sometimes when I play the controller turns off by itself, it also turns off after no use for 10 minutes, little annoying, but great controller for the budget and WIRELESS. It's better to spend 15 more bucks on this controller so you can use it outside of the dock and Amiibo support (I think), you can change the LED colors, change the feel of the triggers. Good controller.

I love this controller. Loved it so much I bought a second. It works on the Switch 2 as advertised, too. If you want to get an idea of what it feels like in hand, I would describe it as exactly like the body of the Nintendo Switch 1 Pro controller with the PS5 controller's bumpers and triggers (without the resistance feature, of course). It is slightly heavier than the Switch Pro controller, and doesnt feel cheap. The charging dock has RGB that syncs with the RGB on the controller, which makes it feel like a more expensive, well thought out product. For the $30 it is on sale (red/white color), I don't think you can do better anywhere. I like it more than the PS5, Xbox, and Switch 1 Pro controller. I haven't tried the switch 2 pro controller, but I don't think it is 2.8x better than this controller to warrant the price. I would argue this is better than it beinf that it comes with a charging dock and works on PC/Mobile. Final note: I was kind of worried the white/red color wouldn't look good in person, but it is a wonderful combination, in my opinion.

I wanted to get a pro controller for the switch 2, but didn't want to spend 90 dang bucks on the Nintendo brand one. I was searching for one that also supports rumble, I came across this one. I've had one of the xbox variants and didn't like it, but this one is solid! Comes with a charging dock too which I love love love. It feels good in the hand, doesn't feel cheap. The lights are cool too. My only two gripes about this controller are it doesn't have a charging port, which honestly is fine the battery lasts quite a while. And sometimes when I go to pick it up to start playing it gets confused and takes a bit to pair. But it usually does and I have no problems after that. It was on sale for 40 bucks! Honestly it was a great purchase and I'd rather buy this again than the name brand for 90.

Pros:
1. The performance is fantastic!
2. Price is unbeatable!
3. The PC app is very easy to navigate and loaded with options!
4. You can run zero deadzone, for at most the first 1-2 months...
Cons:
1. The built in trigger stops are extremely week, I have broken them on two of these controllers in 1-3 days both times.
2. When playing with the controller plugged in, it's very easy to accidentally unplug the cord causing a disconnect and potentially ruining the game/match you're playing. Why don't more controller manufactures have some type of locking cord feature to prevent this?
3. The sticks will get drift in about the same time frame as every other controller on the market.

Very good controller. Purchased to play games on my phone while using the Viture Luna Pro glasses. Works perfectly, and i like the swappable charging port on the stand. Allows you to charge with usb a or usb c ports by just reversing thr cable
