It’s a quality controller for its value. Good ergonomic grip, battery life and control. Having difficulties with the R trigger, but it could be my 3 year old Switch hardware dying out on me. I have no idea. Been experiencing issues with my switch just in general recently.

Works well, enjoy the light displays. When it needs to be charged, it’ll flash red and then dies

This controller is awesome! It fits well in your hands and is 100 times better than the little joysticks.

My children love these! The initial charge took a while, but the battery lasts quite a while. I would recommend a nightly charge to avoid them dying and havinh to wait so long for them to get back to 100%. The lights change colors and are very vivid especially in the dark. Although the charge time is long, it beats buying others that battery powered. My kids ate through a pack of Sam's Club battery in no time! These are definitely the way to go, you won't be disappointed.

I've used this controller for about a week now and I'm really enjoying it. I think it's a great substitute for those who don't want to shell over the cash for a pro-controller (like me). And it lights up in just about any color you can think of! Why more companies don't do this, I'll never know. It's a really nice feature. My only "complaint" is that the left joystick took a few hours for my thumb to get used to only because it's higher up than the joystick on the Switch blue/red controllers. Because of this, I had trouble when it came to making precise decisions in games that required fast reactions such as Katana Zero. Again, I'm not sure if this is because the controller is a little bulky for my female hands or if I just needed to give it more time to get used to the button placements. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who needs an extra controller. I love the feel of it and think the weight of it feels great in your hands. It doesn't feel cheaply made at all.

It took a few minutes to get it paired the first time, but since then it's been the controller that everyone tries to get when we're playing games!

Honestly best switch controller I've owned and it's extremely cool looking. Only problems I had were minor manufacturing issues. Such as joystick issues or d-pad issues out of the box.

I LOVE this controller but started experiencing SERIOUS drift after only like 3-4 months of consistent use. Cleaning it helps temporarily.

The boys and their lit gaming equipment makes it more fun and enjoyable to play. Even while charging it can stay lit, not good if you want pure darkness in the room but otherwise a great night light.

Bought this for my 9 year old and he loves it. It works, it’s easy to charge, and the lights are a hit. We are not pro-gamers by any means, but we have zero complaints.

Easily connects to the Nintendo Switch and the lighting can be changed, brightened and pattern updated. Comfortable but slick smooth surface with no texture. I like the feel but need to be careful about dropping.

Very comfortable if holding the switch remotes give you cramps and pains in your hands! You can also change the color settings but I like the default

Cool but has come glary design flaws

This is a pretty cool looking controller but there was major oversight in the design of this.
1. There is no way to turn off the LED lights when you are playing. Sure you can adjust the colors as you like, which is pretty sweet, but why in gods name can you not turn them off. Playing in a dark room this look like im flagging down an aircraft to a runway. This caused a massive migraine for Josh Fritz over the weekend.
2. No rumble. I was under the impression this controller vibrated.
For those factors, I will most likely be returning it.
