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.

Solid, basic controller with a few extras
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm enjoying the controller enough so far, and can at least recommend it as a basic controller for anybody to use. Setting it up for use is easy, as all it takes is pressing the sync button on top for it to connect to your Switch in seconds. The controller also has a nice weight to it, feeling solid and not "cheap" or feeling like it might break if you look at it funny. And while the fancy lights don't really have a function outside of aesthetics, they are a neat addition that can be customized slightly. The downsides are minimal but noticeable. First off, the instructions are digital only, but they can at least be accessed through the QR code on the back of the controller (though the risk of it wearing away is there). There doesn't seem to be much of a way to track how much power is remaining, at least as far as I've noticed. If you have a rather lengthy gaming session, I would recommend plugging it into the included USB cord just to be on the safe side. On a related note, it doesn't seem as though there's a way to replace the internal battery, so I'm unsure what the overall lifespan of it is and what you're supposed to do once it eventually runs out. The controller supposedly is compatible with gyro settings, but I have not been able to check this myself to know how well they work. I attempted enabling this on Fortnite, to no avail. You might have better luck with this, but even without it, the controller's basic functions work as they should.
