Not programmable!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine but doesn’t have the adjustable buttons and other features that the Nintendo controller has and I’m sure it’s Nintendo playing games!

Perfect for children as they have small hands.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn’t satisfied. Have a Switch 2 and play a lot of games. It didn’t fit well in my hands and therefore not useful to me. Returned this item.

Does not work on switch 2
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work with switch 2, even though it is stated to. Even hardwired to the console, the controller will not be detected. Works fine on switch 1.

Not quite Pro
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty decent Pro controller substitute that has the added benefit of RGB lighting. Battery life and connectivity seem to be decent, and the build quality is, for the most part, respectable. I found the button controls and thumbsticks to be a little squishy, and have to wonder how well they'd perform in any game that requires you to repeatedly hammer the B button or rapidly throws stick left and right to shake off an enemy. They were better than I expected, but there's a little looseness that makes me a bit apprehensive about how they'd hold up under pressure or over the long term. The weight and handling is decent, and the plastic is is sturdy (without reaching the brick solidity of the Pro controller build). Triggers and D pad also seems to get the job done without any issues. The lighting is neat, but unless this is an absolute must for your controllers, it doesn't add much to the experience *while playing.* You're looking at the screen or monitor; not your hands. It's still impressive to marvel at from time to time, though. The customizable buttons on the back were kind of a miss for me. Maybe I have large hands, but I found them to get in the way of a more firm grip on the back. These could come in handy for some games, but their placement on the back is a bit regrettable. Overall, this is a step up from most third party Pro controller-type controllers, but still noticeably weaker in some respects than an actual Pro controller. If you want durability, good construction,and just the best controller for playing your Switch games, then get the Prom. If you don't mind a little button squishiness and really want that RGB lighting (it is pretty), this is a good alternative that's almost as good as the Pro.

Not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controler has to be connected manually at each use and doesnt default to being the primary controller. Setting it up was difficult and I ended up going back to the regular system controller out of frustration.

Switch Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent but not great controller. Only downfall is if you touch a button the lights will stay on for some time and drain the battery.

Not worth the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommend. Controller's cool but it's not worth the price. You can find controllers that light up on Amazon for around $20 with a rechargeable battery. There's no rumble and no game that I tried worked with a motion controls. You're buying a glorified RGB controller. Don't get me wrong the RGB is one of the nicest I've seen on a controller. But that's all it has to offer.
