    I love my controller. The design is so cool. I did also buy the white one to have a set. I do sit pretty far from my tv and switch and I’ve had no issues at all. It was very easy to sync up and I was using it in seconds. I definitely recommend it!

    Love this controller!! It replaced another wireless one that used AA batteries and I feel like I charge this less than the amount of batteries I’ve used. And I love that it lights up.

    We’ve loved these! They do not recognize if you shake the controller so you will still need the joycons for that, but these have super long battery life, have a good weight, and are really responsive

    Easy to pair, pristine look, and fits comfortably in your hands. So glad that Best Buy bad it in white, most places only carry the clear or purple.
