Bought this for my 6 year old daughter. Love the colors and designs of it. Price was low. Decent quality for its price. Works great, and controller is very light. Easy to use plug and play.

Excellent value for the price. Definitely worth picking up an extra controller for cheap

Amazing controller. Has zero drift and the cord is long enough to sit on the opposite side of the room and still reach. 10/10 would recommend.

i find the art style of this exact controller especially awesome and it was about 7 dollars cheaper at the time as other styles. only possible downside is you need an adapter if you wanna use the nintendo in tablet or tabletop mode, whatever they call it but that is not really a downside and the usb fits perfect and tight in the standard dock. two easy-to-program buttons on the grip as well.

In today's market for controllers even a wired one is usually in the ballpark of $50+ dollars. But this one is very low price. But because of low price you can expect the drawbacks that would come with it. In my experience the controller is too light weight. At around 6 oz maybe? And maybe for some of you that's fine. But I have large hands and this make it feel like I'm going to break it.
As for durability however, I'm not rough with my equipment but since I bought this about a month ago it has yet to degrade in any way. Buttons work fine. The thumbsticks don't have drift.
My largest complaint is the weight. The controller is sturdy in the hand and it doesn't seem shift its plastic or anything like that with small hand movements but I feel like if I just twisted it even a little too much it would snap.
Though as I said before this is a price point. It's cheap and you get a controller that works! And if it does happen to break? It's not going to be a $70 hit that a pro controller would dish out.
6.5/10 you get what you pay for and it works, would recommend heavily if you're in a pinch

Great product. Controller works as intended and the usb cable that comes with it very long. The controller feels a bit light but this does not detract from its functionality at all

Great spare controller for those couch co-op nights with friends. Obviously not a Pro Controller, but still gets the job done. Feels very light compared to the Pro Controller though.

Great basic controller, and a low budget alternative for the kids. Joycon is an clear step up for motion, but this is really a more practical option.

It works like it should and the design is cute, but the cable is too long for my liking with no option to use another cable.
