    Missing rumble. Other than that its fine. Charges with a micro cable instead of a type c. not a deal breaker. I was reeled in by the clear asthetics and overlooked the missing features. It gets used the least between the pro and joycon controllers. But it does get used(when one of the others needs charged) Overall not bad but id probably just get another pro controller if I had to do it again

    Bought this hoping it would be a good controller since some of them are made with low-tier parts. Was pleasantly surprised at how well it handles. Very comfortable and durable controls. The back buttons sit in the grip of your hand and you will be accidentally hitting them while holding the controller unless you're used to that setup. I was not used to it. The controller comes with no instructions on how to program it. You hold the small button below the right joystick until it begins flashing, then press the back button and tap the button you want it to mimic, or simply tap the back button again to unbind it and it will no longer annoy you. You change the color by holding the button and the D-pad buttons. I don't know why this isn't included in the box or on the box. Good info to know. The manufacturer has a 4 minute video on YouTube that shows more on how to program the buttons, just look up the product name and the keyword "program buttons".

    My Joycons and pro controller sticks are drifting. But this third party controller has had no problems and I've been using it for a whole year.

    Great controller. Lights are a nice touch but you can turn off if it becomes a distraction and to save some battery life. Fits nice and comfortably in your hands. Works with the original switch and OLED Model. The one con that I don’t like is the way they designed the USB port on the controller. It almost like has a notch when you go to plug in the controller. Very minor. Doesn’t hinder the performance or anything. Just a little annoying that’s all.

    Controller for daughter’s Nintendo Switch. Easy to use and not small like the ones that come with console. Nice if you are/were used to PlayStation or XBox.

    Great controller, no stixk drift after about 50 hours of use and feels much better than joycons for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Only slight potential downsides, the led light to my knowledge cannot turn off. Isnt a big deal since I dont mind it. Also the buttons can be tough to see which button it is, so i used whiteout to write the button letters.

    I recently purchased the PDP Afterglow LED Wireless Deluxe Gaming Controller for my Nintendo Switch and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed. The controller is not only visually stunning with its transparent design and multicolor LED lighting, but it also feels great in my hands, providing a comfortable grip for long gaming sessions. The wireless connectivity is seamless and I haven't experienced any lag or connectivity issues during gameplay. The controller also boasts motion controls and rumble feedback, which further immerses me in the gaming experience. The buttons are responsive and the joysticks have just the right amount of resistance, making movement and aiming feel precise and accurate. The fact that the controller is rechargeable is also a plus, as I don't have to constantly replace batteries. Overall, I highly recommend the PDP Afterglow LED Wireless Deluxe Gaming Controller for any Nintendo Switch gamer looking to upgrade their gaming setup.
