    It is a pretty cool controller. It has extra trigger flaps on the back of the controller. I have tried to change the color but have not been able to. The charging light changes color. The blue light is bright. I am pretty happy with it.

    Better Than Battery Powered

    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.

    Cool control, although I liked more one that is a generic brand (Rockstar I think) My roomate does not like the buttons at the back, but is cool that you can remove those easily.

    This is certainly a visually appealing controller. It does have a tad bit of a learning curve when it comes to button placement. Definitely an upgrade from the orginal joycon.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Honestly, one of my favorite controllers. It's really easy to set up and even can be used to "wake" your switch when it's connected to your tv. I love the colors as I play and the programmable button in the back is fun.

    SIck controller. Different colors for charge level. Extra buttons on the trigger part of the controller helps with fighting and sports games. Way cheaper than any wireless controller out there for the switch. It is the preferred gaming controller in our home now.
