Pretty good controller overall although a little pricey. Also the range is somewhat lacking. It will desync from about 12 feet away from the console. It does have great battery life. I would recommend just buying a pair instead of a single controller due to cost.

Doesn’t slide out like the one that came with the console. Hopefully Nintendo has fixed this issue. Great replacement. Easy to set up.

Connection problems on the early hardware. Also annoying that the single controller costs more money than the dual pack.

Needed an additional controller and concerned about reports about malfunctioning controllers with Switch. Controller working without any difficulties or problems. Recommended if a new controller needed.

So happy I did not have to buy a whole set when one of my controller's joysticks broke. It was fantastic! Switch is back in working order!

It is nice to be able to buy either controller (left or right) in case one breaks or is chewed up by a puppy.
