    Easy to use and link to my switch. Changing the color was a little more difficult due to no instructions being in the box. One short youtube video later, and voilà perfect.

    The controller fits well in your hands, while reacting immediately after pressing the buttons. Long battery life as well. Honestly the closest thing to a perfect controller.

    You'd think with this price there would be some motion controls, especially considering it has a charger port instead of batteries. But no. Pretty disappointed, but the colors are pretty cool!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Thought it was going to feel very light and cheap but it feels high quality while using. RGB lights are bright and has a huge spectrum which makes it a plus.

    Controller works great with nearly no in game lag and has added flare with all the LED light features. This is a great alternative to the Pro Controller.
