    I like these controllers because the joy cons feel really small. This feels like a regular controller and the colors are nice. Lights up different colors.

    Happy with the product. It is possible to disable the back buttons so you don’t keep clicking them accidentally.

    Rock-Solid Precision Meets Vivid Glow

    From the moment you pick it up, this controller feels rock-solid—its premium build and silky-smooth analog sticks immediately stand out. The programmable RGB lighting is bright and vibrant, and the black Afterglow edition delivers the deepest, most sophisticated glow of the lot. True, it doesn’t feature HD Rumble, but its overall craftsmanship and pinpoint responsiveness more than make up for that. Whether you’re customizing your setup or diving into a marathon session, this is one of the slickest, most reliable controllers you can get.

    Comfortable controller to hold. Love that you can remap buttons to the two back buttons. Personally love that for games that require hitting the plus and minus buttons as those are awkward even on joy-cons. And of course love the lights. Being able to to change them or turn them off depending on my mood is a huge plus.
