    This is a great controller for people with Nintendos, it’s very good quality and hasn’t broke at all

    We ended up returning because the lights were just too much to deal with. I would recommend that most people just get the Pro Controller - it has better button response and the lights on this one are just overkill.

    Everything is great, except it doesnt support USB-C! Unacceptable to make people use micro-usb on 2023.

    It works… but feels cheap compared to other switch controllers in the same price range. The only advantage would be that you can choose which LED lightning you want to use.

    Great controller but the lightning is a bit too much for me. Thought its cool but after a day or two I was annoyed by the lighting on my face while playing the game. Not for me

    ended up returning, as it uses micro-usb for charging, not USB-C. they should make that more clear on the packaging

    I bought this controller two days ago in the store. I played Zelda ToTK for one full day with no problems. On day two, Link is running to the right without even touching the left joystick. The items menu is constantly moving to the right. The game is impossible to play.

    This controller is horrible it loses charge quickly. Also the left little joystick doesn't work appropriately and it moves in opposite direction of where I want it to go.
