This controller is great. Lights up different colors and perfect to hold

Bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves using it! Says it fit her hamds very well, is easier to hold than the individual joycons, and tshe loves the color and lights. Our kids like the led lights so much we ultimately bought a second to avoid arguments.

Its a really beautiful controller that feels really well in your hands; however, it really only works best with Switch. When you try to connect it to Steam, you get some stick issues where the system cant read that youve pushed the sticks all the way forward so you end up walking around everywhere.

Replaced older controllers. Works great! Very easy to pair with the system!

The controller is a great mix of style and performance. The design with customizable RGB lighting looks amazing, and the ergonomic build is super comfortable for long gaming sessions. It pairs easily with my Nintendo Switch, offering responsive buttons and lag-free wireless connectivity. The customization options through the PDP Control Hub app are a nice bonus, letting you map buttons and tweak the lighting to your liking. Battery life is decent but could be better for extended play. Overall, it’s a solid controller that combines aesthetics and functionality. Highly recommend it!

This controller is easy to setup, works really well, and the lights are really neat!

Good value, good performance, fancy RGB (per the wife’s request). Grabbed this for Switch 2, as it’s compatible.

The controller is awesome and I love the lights on it

It feels good to hold especially if you have big hands. Easy to pair and get working, controls feels responsive.

The PDP Afterglow Wave Wireless Pro Controller with Motion is… okay. I cannot say that it will ever be my favorite controller. It works….mostly. The glow effect is pretty. The additional buttons on the back of the controller got in my way and I eventually turned them off. But, hey, if you need an extra controller for a game night and the price is right, it does work. However, this will never replace the original Pro as my controller of choice. Setup: Inside the box, you get the controller and a short USB-C to USB-A cable for charging. You will not be able to reach the cable from your console to your controller very easily if you want to charge and play. When you plug the controller in to charge, the controller will glow red while charging and the lights will glow green once charging is complete. Experience: It took me a bit to get used to the controller. Buttons are a bit mushier than I expected. The directional sticks are rougher and feel a bit higher than I am used to. D-Pad works well. The home, screenshot, start, and select buttons are flipped a bit from the standard controller. I thought I noticed a bit of drift on idle, but I could not replicate it enough to say for certain there was a problem. I am assuming there is no Amiibo support as I could not get Amiibos to work. The big selling point is the lights and the buttons on the back. I did not care for the buttons in the back as they just got in the way. The ability to map those buttons to macros might have been more useful, but the function button customization is so clunky it took me forever just to get the buttons turned off. Using the function button and the d-pad to adjust the lighting effects was a much simpler process. I wish there were an application or game in the Nintendo store that allowed one easier access to lighting customization. There is no battery indicator for the controller from within the Switch interface that I could see. Official Nintendo controllers have battery indicators, but I guess you must hope for the best with the Afterglow Wave Wireless. Also, there is no rumble feature with the controller. Motion / Gyro controls work well enough. I was able to use the controls with Zelda: BotW and Immortals Fenyx Rising. Conclusion: It is impossible to talk about the PDP Afterglow Wave Wireless Pro without referencing the controller that the PDP Afterglow Wave is attempting to replicate. The Nintendo Pro is the better option. The PDP Afterglow Wave works as an additional controller to have around, but it will never be my go-to controller for the Switch. Maybe if PDP had forgone the buttons on the back and included Amiibo support, rumble functionality, and integrated software battery indicator, the controller would be an easier sell. As is, the controller is just “okay.” And hey, maybe that is good enough. I cannot say the experience is broken, but it just feels incomplete. 2.5/5

I purchased this controller for my fiancée to use with her Switch 2, and we were both solidly impressed! The controller is very comfortable in hand and is lightweight, allowing you to play for hours on end without your hands or arms ever feeling tired! The LED lights implemented in the controller are a very nice touch and adds to the unique effect and innovativeness that Nintendo always has to offer with their products!

Excellent Switch Pro controller at a great price. The LED colors are beautiful, buttons and joysticks are responsive. Great ergonomics.

Amazing Nintendo Switch controller. It feels so good in hand and the color changing lights are super trippy. 10/10 would buy another one.

Bought DKB for my daughter and this controller. She loves the lights and keeps going at it. Usually destroys my controllers, but this bad boy has taken a beating and still performs Decent build and great response.

I have the all clear afterglow controller for my switch so naturally i had to get this one as well. I love that there a 4 color choice options one of which being purple my favorite color. The subtle glow of the wave pattern and the option to switch settings is great and it connected with no issues to my switch. Great controller

I bought this for my wife for christmas, and she's absolutely loved it. The buttons feel quality, the lighrs look great, and it holds charge for a long time.

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.

These are better than official pro controllers hands down. My wife and I both have one and we love them.

Easy and reliable connection works great. Long range without interruptions.

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.
