    I bought this because I wanted another controller for my switch. It was easy to use and operate. You can change the colors and it has strong vibration sensitivity. I'm thinking of getting one for my Xbox I love it so much

    Love this controller. The buttons are nice. The colors are fun little addition. Its also super nice that you can charge it with a power cord and not have to put batteries in like other switch controllers. We fight over this controller at my house!

    A Second Chance

    This is my second time purchasing this controller. The previous one started to drift after less than a year (which is a bummer, considering there were a couple of long gaps between play). That said, I really liked the look and feel of this controller to give it another chance with a new one. I love that it's able to utilize motion controls, which makes aiming much easier in games such as Zelda: TOTK. I am really hoping this controller lasts longer than the last one, or I may have to search for another, hopefully, longer-lasting, controller.

    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.

    The grip is comfortable. I like the ability to change the L.E.D. color on my control. It takes a bit getting used to if you have used the controls the Switch comes with by default. The battery life is great and so is the range. This is a good buy, a best buy - lol.

    I have used the heck out of this controller during my recovery from surgery and am very happy with it. Changing the color is easy, and it works as expected. I do play with the back plate removed, as I tend to accidentally hit those buttons with it intact.

    Though there are cheaper options out there, this is by far the best one I've used personally. Battery life is great. Only complaint is how smooth the controller plastic is. It's not a huge problem, but if you have sweaty hands it could be. The programmable back buttons are good, but they slightest pressure sets it off, so I don't use them.

    My twins really enjoy this controller. It is very easy to setup to their Nintendo switch. The light up features are what makes this controller great. They were very excited to use it and tell their friends about it.

    I bought it for my kid and he loves it! He changes the color according to his mood. I borrow it sometimes and I change it to red, my favorite color. I got it on sale and it's worth it. There's no lag at all.
