Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use, plug and works with the switch 2 excellent price.

Got these for my kids so they can all play together on Mario Kart World. Easy to set up, no issues connecting with the Switch 2. Was able to purchase 2 for the price of one Nintendo brand contoller.

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

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

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

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

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

The controller is awesome and I love the lights on it

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.

The controller is lighting and coloring my world! You will never go wrong with this one

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.

Bought this for my girlfriend + a switch and she loves it!

Feels almost the same as the switch 2 pro controller for significantly less in price. I have no complaints from a few weeks of use.

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

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.

Super cool and sleek design. It fits great in your hand, so gameplay lasts longer. I don't get hand fatigued like I used to. The lights are super cool and changeable, which makes sitting in your living room in the dark playing a game a little extra.

Purchased as a Christmas gift and it was a huge hit. Love the lights, it works great, and my son is thrilled to finally have his own controller. Pairing was easy, and it came partially charged so he could play right away. Definitely recommend!

Very nice controller. Love the colors. The only thing it’s missing is the rumble option but still a nice controller.
