    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.

    Works fine but doesn’t have the adjustable buttons and other features that the Nintendo controller has and I’m sure it’s Nintendo playing games!

    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.

    Good, comfortable controller for Nintendo Switch.

    The PDP - Afterglow Wave Wireless Pro Controller with Motion for Nintendo Switch is a good, comfortable controller with some neat lighting and other features. Following are my observations after using it several times: - It comes packaged with a 3.3' USB-C cable. It needs to be charged out of the box, but it will last up to 20 hours on a full charge. I like the rechargeable feature, so I don't have to constantly replace batteries and it lasts long enough to cover multiple gaming sessions for me, before it needs to be recharged. The function button blinks red when the battery is getting low. - It was easy to pair with my switch device and the wireless connection is good for up to 30 feet, which gives me far more distance than I need in my living room. - The back paddle buttons can both be programmed to use for whatever function you want them to control and you can reprogram them for different functions based on the game you are playing. - This controller is comfortable to hold while playing. It has textured, non-slip grips. It has a good solid feel and weight to it. - The buttons are responsive and the motion control is smooth. - This controller has 8 RGB lighting zones with 4 pre-set modes - Wave, Breathing, Static and Stick, or you can customize the lighting, colors, and brightness, or you can turn the lighting off. I mostly got this controller as I like this style of controller better than the standard controllers that came with my Switch and find it easier to hold and use while gaming, plus I like the wireless feature. However, the lighting options are kind of cool, even if you only want the lights to be on solid and not flash. I kind of like the option that pulses to my use of the joy stick. It's nice to be able to customize the lighting colors and brightness however you like it. Overall, this is a good controller and I feel it is improving my game play on my Nintendo Switch. I recommend this to anyone with a Switch device.

    This item does not sync with the Switch 2. Even after following the instructions, using the cable that came with the controller & the cable that came with the switch. It does work on the orignal switch.
