    Im very disappointed that this controller doesnt vibrate. My fault because i didnt check but most controllers come with vibration. Im not understanding why this one doesnt and other switch controllers do. I will most likly return this one because of it.

    I love the white and lights, its very stylish. The only down side is that some of the buttons are sticking from normal wear and tear. Still, you would think something over $50 should last more than just a couple months.

    Its a nice looking controller but if the person playing with it doesn’t know how to use it, it gets irritating. There afe 2 buttons on the controller on the back of the stick and when your playing thise buttons get push one goes to the home page the out is like a jump button. I dnt like it and it was no need for extra buttons on the back on the controller just stupid to me

    Unfortunately the controller came with stick drift. Rather disappointing because externally it looks really cool. Best Buy was able to refund the purchase, so no harm no foul. Still would have been nice if it lasted longer than 10min….

    Buttons started sticking 3 weeks after purchase

    I was really hoping to like this controller, but unfortunately the B and A buttons started to stick after only using it four times and all after owning it for less than a month. I believe Nintendo Controllers just aren't made anywhere near the quality of Xbox and Playstation unfortunately. I am so disappointed because the concept seemed really cool. I also hated the large bumpers in the back of the controller. I found myself accidentally hitting them during the middle of a match and messing up my combos.

    Just as i expected, JUNK. It didnt even last 1 full day before the joy sticks got a mind of their own and randomly go wherever they want.

    This controller was heavy and we decided to return it for the lighter battery powered ones.
