    It’s really quit when playing and I love it. It changes colors and has vibration and everything. It’s really nice and works really well.

    I enjoy the clear option & multiple color options. I would have prefer the option of also using AA batteries for those occasions when left sitting for some time & find it’s discharge when you’re ready to play. Would be nice if the button letters would light up as the LED colors blind you from making out which is which if you don’t have them memorized.

    These controllers are awesome! Very easy to use, some of the buttons are not in the same spot but very close. Does get some getting used to them but are much easier on your hands than the standard switch controllers. Can play for hours as they are comfortable and quite light. Batteries last a reasonable amount of time and very quick to charge via cable provided. Love the colors, and how easy it is to change them. Only drawback is they are not Amiibo compatible. Have to toggle between switch controllers to use my Amiibo if not I would’ve put 5 stars.

    Nice remote to use for the Switch if not a fan of the small ones that come with the system. The clear plastic and color is nice for playing in the dark. This is my 3rd wireless controller and they all have worked fine the last year I have had them. I for one do not like playing with the small sticks and even though it has the attachment to feel like a controller, this is much better when having the switch connected to the TV.

    We purchased two of these controllers for our sons for Christmas so that they could play games like Gang Beasts and Super Smash Bros. with four players and full controls (we already own two Joy-Con sets). I was a little worried they'd miss the rumble effect, but none of them has even noticed that the controls don't support it. They love the LEDs, which are programmable in a bunch of different ways, and will grab these controllers over the regular Joy-Cons. One thing to note is that there are two paddle-like buttons on the back that are integrated into the battery cover and can get pressed accidentally if you grip the controller too hard in the middle of a heated battle. I think they map to the 'A' and 'X' button. Not a big deal, but worth thinking about if you are a "gripper". Overall, we were impressed with the quality and responsiveness of this controller and would recommend it to friends.

    My wife and I got these controllers so we can all play games together. It is easy to use. The lights are awesome, vibrant, and easy to change. There are so many settings for the lights, and the brightness can be changed, which makes the experience better. I have hand and wrist issues and these controllers don't make the pain worse. These are amazing. They remind me of my XBOX controller.

    Interesting Controller

    This is an interesting controller. I really like the LED lights and the extra buttons on the bottom side of the controller. The battery on my controller lasts long even with the LED lights changing color continuously as I play. I like the controller feel of it and with being wireless, this helps a lot for being away from the Switch Hub. You can even use the controller while it’s plugged in for charging which I thought was nice. The only issue you run into is the fact that you’re tethered to the Switch Hub until the charging is complete.

    I bought this for my grandson & even let him try it out without him knowing it was for his birthday 2 months later. He loves it. It handles nicely, he can maneuver through his games more easily then with with controllers that came with the switch system. The lights enhance the experience & adds excitement to the games. He enjoys the transparent color for a change. I lost the rubber piece that fits over the charging port. Can that be replaced? This purchase is a success

    It works great it lasted a long time after fully charging it. The glow effect of the lights are nice. Also, the back pieces on the back of the controller works as a back button or other fubctions on specific games. Wireless controller is a plus in my book.
