    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.

    excellent controller, the extra buttons can be a little annoying as they are in the back where you grip but Im sure someone more dextreous than myself can make use of them . there are mapable buttons and the LEDs are cool. battery lasted about 2 weeks with regular use with leds on

    The PDP Afterglow is a must have for gamers who love the whole experience and setting of what you’re supposed to feel and see in a controller.I love the variety of colors dimming on and off and.I can’t keep just one color so it’s in the mode where all appear to match the lighting aesthetics built around my man cave combined as one when at play.The price for this should have it always sold out !!!! I already bought two,one around Xmas because I thought the sale of it was gonna go away and recently I got another for multiple players when I have guest over.

    A great alternative to the expensive Switch Pro controller. The lights can get very bright when set to the highest setting. No rumble feature, but honestly, I don't need it anyway. Battery life is pretty good too. It also has two backside triggers, so you can program it to any button function you want. Overall, solid controller for the price.

    Got this as a Christmas present to myself and it's holdin' out strong! The glow is customizable which lets this feel more personalized and is just a cute little fun addition to my gaming experience. The controls aren't too sensitive which is also a plus. Only thing I don't like is that the minus/plus and home/screenshot buttons are switched to what other controllers are so sometimes you find yourself pressing the wrong one and it getting a little tricky. That's just something to get use to.

    Connects well, playa well. Many color options, rather difficult to figure out color settings with instructions given but once you figure it out youre pretty much set. No vibration, for the price it probanly should have that capability.

    Very pleased with this controller. Has a sturdy feel and is very comfortable to use. Was easy to connect to Switch and so far has been able to hold a charge well over 25 hours of non stop use. Had bad luck with original JoyCons with stick floating after a few months. Hoping this will not do the same.
