    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

    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.
