    BUTTONS ARE STIFFER THAN MY GRANDPAS YOU KNOW WHAT AFTER HIS BLUE PILL. With that in mind it only took about two days' worth of game play to start to notice obvious lack to feel like a real controller. Home button feels super difcult for hard resetting some rpg have found better quialtiy on an asian no name brand from temu than this 40 dollar tag

    I love the design of this and had hoped it would suit my needs, however, it was lacking. I wanted a controller with the ability to reprogram the back buttons and remap the buttons on it however I wanted, but it was not possible.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Solid, basic controller with a few extras

    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.

    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.
