Customers express satisfaction with the Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch, particularly its design, which is ergonomic and available in various colors. The wireless operation and easy connection process are also well-received. While some users find the controller a bit large and lightweight, many appreciate its affordability and the inclusion of Animal Crossing as an added bonus.
However, customers have concerns about the battery life, as it is not rechargeable and may require frequent battery replacements. Additionally, the lack of a headphone jack, rumble feature, and vibration function in certain games are seen as drawbacks by some users.

Controller Works ok, home button wakes switch up, pairs easy, extra customizable buttons on the back, My biggest complaint is there is no rumble or vibration. It’s comfortable in the hands and the animal crossing theme matches the console.

These controllers are very light. They will get the job done for most games. Ease of use are a plus. If your playing something like smash bros, I think these are easier on the hands, because they are not as cramped as the joycon grip.

Great backup controller for budget gaming on the switch. Always have it handy when we have a 3rd of 4th person who wants to jump in on the fun. The Animal Crossing version is really cool looking too.

Cute, but the controller is made out of very odd plastic, and the buttons sound a bit clicky too, and a bit poorly made in my opinion. So I would recommend this for children.

This contorl is a must if you have bigger hands and want to use a controller along the size fo the Xbox controller. THe only down fall is it is not rechargable and the batteries get expensicve if you play alot.

Great deal and works on all games...not just Animal Crossing. My kids enjoy using it. Makes for a great extra or replacement controller. Uses batteries and not rechargeable.

Great value. Neat design. Battery life is definitely shorter than the standard Pro controller. Even with no rumble. AA batteries.

This controller is adorable and handles alright. The rumble never worked on it and the batteries needed to be changed constantly. I would hardly move it and it would turn on by accident and doesn’t turn off automatically which got pretty annoying. In the end we had to return it as the left stick was stuck in the up position and would never unlock itself. Make sure to get a geek squad warranty!

If you want a controller that feels like a traditional controller but is a little cheaper than the official Pro Controller, these are solid.
You are missing out on Rumble, NFC/amiibo, etc., but as long as you know that it's a solid value. Good as a second controller, or for someone who mostly plays handheld but wants a traditional controller that won't get used as much.

This controller is very cute! The details and print were very well done I thought! It wasn't quite what I was looking for so I did return it tho. But it would work great for someone else! It's very light! I was looking for something with a bit more weight to it, just personal preference there. It is battery powered, no charger. Which would mean it's a bit more work to keep it running too.

Good controller to go along with the ACH Switch for my kids. I'm I've been an Xbox user for 20 years so it's a little cumbersome to me the way you have to pair controller configs for the different games on Switch. So ease of use not great in my opinion, but that's not really the controllers fault, just the way Switch is. Also, based on it's price point, I was under the impression that this was a rechargeable controller but it is AA.

Controllers now a days are a little on the expensive side but I got this when it was on sale. Bought it for my 4 year old to begin learning how to play video games so I’ll do instead of a pro controller. So far so good. The only thing I have bad to say is it’s ran on batteries, which isn’t a total down fall. Just would be more convenient to charge instead of buying new batteries when they die.
