    Bought on 5/14 and it's only 6/8 and this thing is totally useless. Stick drift hard right at all times. One week outside of the return policy. What a piece of garbage. Don't waste your money.

    The lights are cool, but this controller has issues. The joysticks feel stiff and rigid, the dpad and buttons are meh and I had constant disconnects while playing games. Additionally, I had multiple accidental presses of the two back paddle buttons. You can remove them, but the controller feels awful without them. Best look for a different controller.

    After about a week or two the controller stopped working. We procrastinated returning it, then one day it mysteriously started back working. My daughter still uses it to this day.

    Wouldn’t recommend. Often accidentally pressed the back trigger buttons when trying to use other buttons due to its high sensitivity.

    Gets stuck in the infinite button scrolling due to the joycon not resetting to the neutral position. Pretty frustrating experience. If not for that would be 5 stars.

    I really liked the look and feel of this controller! But it completely crapped out on me less than 2 months after purchase. Not charging or powering on at all anymore. I've tried contacting the manufacturer since I'm past Best Buy's return period, but no luck getting a response about their 2 year warranty. Total waste of money :(

    The controls felt alright. I did not like the loose button/cover on the bottom of the unit which interfered with my gaming.
