    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.

    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.

    I bought the purple and white controllers and my siblings love them so much! They love how they glow because the colors are extremely vibrant. Also they work really well and I have no issues with it.

    Love that it lights up with the rainbow colors. Just a note, this controller is a little heavier than the non light up controllers.
