    We got the purple on first and now we have the white one! I hope they come out with some new colors cause these get fought over on family game night. They are so pretty with the lights and the quality is great.

    This controller works great and is really cool looking. The only downside is that after a few months it starts to die pretty quickly and won't fully charge.

    Got this as a present for my fiancé and he loved it so much. He uses my Nintendo switch and I got this for him as a surprise. Very versatile in the buttons and the colored lights are amazing.

    The controller is easy to connect to the Switch and is a more comfortable option compared to the handheld console or even the handheld joycon controller. In addition to the ease and comfort, the controller is aesthetically pleasing. The colors are beautiful, and the white is a great neutral backdrop.

    Amazing product with very nice specs. The color changes are lovely contrasted with the clean white appearance. The buttons give a satisfying click and press down smoothly. Highly satisfied with this product.

    This controller is a frustrating product that falls short in several key areas. While the design is visually appealing with its LED lighting, the controller's sensitivity is a major flaw. It turns on way too easily, often activating unintentionally when tossed in a bag or even just left on a flat surface. This results in the controller draining its battery without anyone even knowing, leading to constant charging interruptions. The poor battery life is a huge disappointment, especially considering the controller’s tendency to power on when you least expect it. In terms of performance, it feels clunky and less responsive than other controllers in this price range, and the wireless connection can be spotty at times. Overall, the Afterglow™ Wave controller is more trouble than it's worth, making it a tough recommendation for anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free gaming experience.

    I love the color changing. You can program it to your favorite color. It didn’t come with an instruction manual but there is a QR code that will take you to a digital manual.

    Very solid controller compared to Nintendo’s Pro controller for the price. The LEDs can be adjusted to any color you want along with the brightness.

    These controllers are the toughest My seven and eight-year-old have thrown these things 1 million times and they still work perfectly so I bought this one as a gift for a family member.

    This is a fun product for my 6 year old to use with her Switch. I will say that it does have some glitches with buttons at times which does not happen with our other Nintendo controllers. Overall, it's a good price and the colors are cool!

    Awesome addition and somewhat of an upgrade compared to the regular controller. It's almost more fun to watch it change colors while you're playing than actually playing!!
