    I love this controller. Super comfy grip and fun! But I would not use it for games like Mario Cart or racing games. The buttons under the handle, near the palms of your hands always get tapped when playing, and it triggers menus during your play.

    Feels almost identical to the Nintendo version. This one is even Nintendo branded! Great controller if you don’t want to spend the money on the Nintendo one

    I’ve had major stick, drip issues with almost every joy con that I’ve bought… But these controllers seem to hold up very well… It’s also nice that these work with motion compared to some of the older pro controllers that don’t. I recommend this product.

    Purchased for my Wife. She loves it. Works so seamlessly you would swear it was made by Nintendo. Quality feels very good as well. Not cheap or light weight.

    Lightweight but durable. It lights up when in use and also when charging. It shows red when charging and green when it has full battery. Overall pretty good purchase.

    Got this for my wife. She loves it. It’s really light weight but is made fairly well. I’ll never touch it for fear of breaking it. But it’s great for the price.
