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

I picked up the GameSir Supernova as a backup controller for my Nintendo Switch, and it’s been a solid addition to my setup. The build quality feels premium for the price, and the transparent shell with RGB lighting adds a fun, modern touch. It’s comfortable to hold even during longer sessions, and the buttons and triggers are responsive with a satisfying feel.
While I still prefer my Pro Controller for primary use, the Supernova holds its own—especially when friends come over or for casual play. It connects quickly, works great wirelessly, and even includes extra features like adjustable vibration and turbo, which are nice bonuses.
If you’re looking for a stylish and reliable secondary controller for the Switch (or even PC), the GameSir Supernova is definitely worth checking out.

This is a great controller. It's a great alternative to a Switch Pro controller. Works great as a steam controller as well. You can also physically swap the buttons. There's a software you can download to change settings on the controller, which is pretty handy. The best part IMO is that it comes with a nice charging cradle.
The only drawback is that it does not work with X Box games. So if you have game pass on your laptop, Legion GO, Steamdeck or Ally, it will not work with those games. That's more an issue with Microsoft unfortuantely. There is the G7 controller, but it's wired.

GameSir delivered big time with this one; the trigger stops, the back paddles, and the grips fit perfectly in the hand. I bought this for my Switch 2, but I am always wanting to use it more because it's so nice! The RGB lighting that you can customize makes it super flashy.
It also has durable Hall effect sticks that feel really nice. I can't say enough good things about this item. BUY this if you see it for $40 or below, if you need a switch to a controller or PC/mobile controller. You won't be sorry.

The good - looks good, feels good in the hand, and great price.
The bad - I may have a defective controller because it create random action during gameplay like jumping and moving and moving when I just have the controller lay down.

The Gamesir SuperNova is a very good controller. I've primarily used it on PC, but tested it on the Switch 2 as well. It's performance on PC is far better, which is to be expected. I tested the hall effect joystick circularity that had a 0.1% avg error. Which is great in comparison to the standard controllers you'll get from Xbox or PlayStation.
While connected to my PC with a USB-C cable, I can confirm it had 1ms input lag, which in comparison to a PlayStation Dualsense (4ms) and Xbox Series Controller (8ms), is really good. It also definitely hits the 1000hz polling rate that is often advertised with these controllers. It just doesn't compete with the very best you can get, and sure, for the price you'd say it shouldn't. But within this price range, the Gamesir G7 Pro is definitely better.

Mainly bought this controller for waking up the Switch 2, and it did not disappoint!
It took a few tries to get it configured for wake up, but once it was properly connected, it was able to wake up my console consistently. Even without setting it up for that, it makes for a great controller for Switch 1 and 2. It has hall effect joysticks and triggers, which means you won't have to worry about stick drift or faulty triggers for a long time. The face buttons are also swappable, but only between B/A and Y/X. It can connect via Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz dongle for multiple wireless options.
I got this for $30 via sale, but even at $50 it is a great budget option over the official Switch 2 Pro Controller that can last you a long time!

This controller is SPECIFICALLY ONLY for Switch, switch2, PC, iOS and Android. people complaining it doesn't work for Xbox or playstation clearly do not know how to read. that being said, this controller is amazing!!! only thing I think its lacking is an amiibo reader, but that definitely isn't a deal breaker for me.
Make sure to keep hold of the manual for being able to figure out controls of the lights and other functions.

The controller works on the switch, switch 2, android,PS4/5 (wired), and on PC.it has mode switching so you can pair it in different modes depending on the device. The buttons are nice, not too mushy or stiff

Shortly after receiving the controller, it would disconnect every 30 minutes. I’m unsure what was causing it as it just one day stopped while I was in the process of trying to get it replaced. Other than that the wife is happy with this product.

Excellent and feels more comfortable than a Switch Pro or PS5 controller. You have to try it for yourself to understand. Everything else works fine, better battery than PS5 controller, seamless connectivity with PC and Switch. Paid $30 on sale and it's a steal tbh. Has RGB too and comes with a dock. For 30. Bucks. Let that sink in.

This controller when on sale is a great value. I use it for my switch and also steam deck via the usb adapter. Battery life is sold. Turn off vibration will make it last a bit longer.
