    Colorful Pro controller

    The controller works well, I like the colors, the only bad thing is that it doesn't show in the nintendo switch screen how much battery it has left. The controller will blink when is running low though.

    Just Works. A little bigger

    The PDP Afterglow Wave Wireless Pro Controller for the Nintendo Switch is pretty awesome. First off, the lights are just cool—seriously. It’s definitely one of the better-looking controllers out there. The most important part is how the controller feels. Using it feels great. It’s comfortable to hold, and the weight is just right—not too heavy, not too light. I noticed it’s a little bigger than the Nintendo Pro Controller, but honestly, it didn’t take long to get used to it. The buttons and joysticks are responsive and feel good to press, so you’re not fighting the controller during a game. Connecting it to the Switch was super easy. It synced up right away with no problems, and the wireless connection stays solid while you’re playing. Just does what it say and works. Overall, I’d say it’s a great option if you want a controller that works well and also looks really good. The lights, the comfort, and the solid performance make it worth it. It’s a little bigger than the Pro Controller, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. Definitely happy with it!

    An OK Colored Controller

    The Afterglow Wave is an ok controller. It functions fine with the Switch. I like that it easily connects wirelessly without any additional dongle. It's just as responsive as the factory one. Right out the gate it looks really cool with the lighting effect. You can switch between the 4 presets without downloading the app. Feels good and ergonomic in the hands. It has a long lasting battery. I played Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Freeze. I couldn't get the motion to work with Mario Kart. Playing Donkey Kong for less than 30 minutes made my thumb start to get sore on the joystick. I'm disappointed that the rubber is harder and rougher than the factory controller. I was close to getting a blister from a short amount of play. PDP claims this controller has a textured non-slip grip but it's still very slippery. I would of expected something more rubberized not just slippery plastic. I didn't really play any games that would utilize the programmable back paddles but I often accidentally hit them. I suppose I'd recommend this. If you don't typically have issues with getting blisters during gaming then this might not be bad. The color adds some pizzazz to your gaming for sure so I really like that. I just wish there were more quality materials used.

    Decent controller

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It’s a decent controller little pricy though feels good, hard to understand how to map the back buttons and tgey are really the only reson I’d suggest getting this over the official pro controller granted the switch 2 now has a official pro with back buttons however $30 more so in that regard fair price. But it being closer to normal pro it’s harder because yes no back buttons but you get amibo reader on pro not this only useful if you really play breath of the wild or tears so overall if you dont care about amibo suport id say good buy if you do yes you lose back buttons but pro granted i did call out new pro having both but add that $30 extra for best of both
