Its broad compatibility across various platforms, impressive battery life, extensive customization options, and appealing RGB lighting are also highly valued, complemented by a convenient charging dock. However, some users have experienced connectivity issues, with the device randomly turning off during use, and a few were not entirely convinced by the red/white color scheme.

    This is the best conroller for under $50 you can get. It works great and it feels so comfortable in your hands.

    Excellent controller, top notch hand feel. Wish they would make some Xbox shaped controllers with the same textures and button feel for PC.

    Bought it for my switch 2 and it works great. You do have to do a little work around to have it work with the 2.4ghz dongle, you have to turn on wired pro controller in the settings. But apart from that it's a great controller and i like the customization i can do with it.

    Pretty good controller if you want to a seamless pass from your pc to your switch. For pc, you will have to download the Gamesir Connect app on your pc in order to update the USB receiver and controller, but then you’re cookin’. The phone app will also update the controller firmware. You’ll have no problem connecting to the Switch. There are plenty of bells and whistles on the controller you can learn, like the LED settings and trigger modes. It’s fairly easy, just keep the user manual handy. Pretty comfy grips if you prefer Xbox controllers.

    Worth every penny. This is way better than the xbox controller, which is in the same price range as this one. The trigger stops help tremendously in certain shooting games. Some say you can push past the trigger stop, but for me, they are pretty firm and solid. The lighting is also good and the ability to troggle vibration intensity. And you get a charging station, how cool is that! I did get some connection issues with the 5g dongle once, however. Not sure what was the issue.

    Awesome controller!!! Love the feel and look of the controller along with the led charger. Haven’t owned it too long but looking forward to the anti stick drift capability. Overall would definitely recommend and buy again.

    I think this controller is great and the price is unbeatable. However, if you want to use it with the Switch 2, the setup is a bit complex, so you'll need to find a good tutorial on YouTube. Other than that, it's highly recommended.

    Works great. Gyro can be a bit tricky to get working how you want, but i think that is more of a problem per game than with the hardware.

    The overall grip and feeling The controller is great. Battery life seems okay and the charging station that comes with it is great. The one drawback is and loses connectivity from time to time though quickly picks back up and doesn't bother me much. I still feel like this is a much better option than the Nintendo wireless controller sells for twice as much.

    Turns itself off constantly even during active use

    Did not start trying the controller out immediately, but liked the idea of drift-resistance joysticks that this controller advertised because I am in a high-use household when it comes to Switch being on several hours a day on the TV, either by me or multiple other family members. Main thing that goes wrong on most other controllers is a stick gets misaligned and is no longer able to be adequately cleaned and causes games to have game-breaking drift problems within a year or so from the constant use. So I had high hopes for this controller. Could not have been more bitterly disappointed at the immediate betrayal of that hope. 'The controller sticks are still fine,' but the controller turns itself off. CONSTANTLY. If you are watching a video or having a longer cutscene in a game (or using the auto-controlled character in Ball x Pit), there is roughly a seven-ten minute window where the controller will turn itself off no matter what, with zero option of disabling the feature. What's infinitely worse than that is you can literally be QUITE actively playing the game and somehow the controller turns itself off anyway. This happens many, many times a week, every single day minimum, and is an absolutely unacceptable bad quality design flaw. Cannot recommend AGAINST buying this product more. No idea what is even causing the controller to immediately turn off in the middle of very active use, but it started happening immediately upon taking it out of its packaging and starting to use it for the first time. Looked through the overbearing fine-print instruction pamphlet, and there is no option to turn off the auto-turn off feature at all, and it is doing it every day when it is not supposed to in constant use. Also, the controller is surprisingly difficult to seat properly in the charging stand provided; frequently the controller looks like it is on the stand fully down in the base and still not charging, so you have to push down on it beyond initial placement frequently. So very bad design there, too. Not sure if the controller just shorts out and auto-turns off or what, but I literally popped the controller out of it's packaging excited to try it and it is one of the worst controller experiences I have ever had. I like the concept of replaceable sticks and buttons and the customization of all that, and the sticks seem fine with their sturdier-than-normal design, but this out-of-the-box turning itself off constantly problem is terrible and unacceptable. Even the "feature," that you cannot disable, of it turning itself off every 7 or 10 minutes if you're watching a video on YouTube or a bluray constantly interrupts your experience repeatedly every hour and day that you are doing such things.
