    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.

    fantastic controller with a bunch of functions. Only thing I have to complain about is no matter how clean your hands appear to be the controller will change colors.

    Love this controller! Comfortable to use. You will not get motion feedback, but it is not something that I needed. Love, the purple and the LED lights!

    Really cool controller. Minimal instructions and had to look up videos on how to customize color and other things. Seems like that would’ve been included in packaging. Still really cool and versatile controller.

    Got this for my wife and she loves it. It was a little weird to set up. I had to remove all my other controllers to add this one, but after connected it works and looks great.

    The remote is smaller than the pro slightly. It is great for teens with small hands. Like that is has extra buttons on the back of the handles.

    Works as it should. Much more comfortable than the Joy-Cons and having a classic console style controller.
