    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

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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".

    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 have been impressed with the build quality of this controller. Good button and joystick feel, and after using it for a month everything still feels sturdy and button pushes and joystick movements track appropriately. I also like the embedded lights that easily show when it is powered on and when it is being recharged. My only complaint is that charging uses a micro-USB port. By 2022 everything should be USB-C.

    I love this controller! I’m used to my ps4 controller so when I got the switch it was very weird to hold the controller it comes with which is the two joycons and the holder for them. I bought this and it fits perfectly also has back buttons that can be programmed for anything. I love changing the colors on it depending on what color I have my room set to. Or when I don’t feel like having a light I can either turn the brightness down or turn it off all together. 10/10
