    Quick action on super fast buttons. A true upgrade to go with the new OLED Nintendo Switch. A good purchase.

    Honestly the buttons were always acting up getting stuck and not working. The battery life sucks. Constantly needing new batteries

    It was great until it started to drift after only having it for 2 weeks. And the two year warrenty? Have fun trying to figure out how to find the PowerA order number to get help or to ship it to them.

    Great 3rd party controller for the switch. Works on all games, comes with extremely long charging cable. Keep in mind that it comes with charging cable but not the charging brick.

    Controller is fully functional, as well as, looking great! The graffiti style look is aggressive and matches Pikachu's business face. The solid red directional pad is the cherry on top!

    After 2 weeks the buttons started sticking, and it started to "creep", meaning there was movement when there should not have been. For $60 I'd kind of expect something more. Will not buy again.

    Not even a year and one of the joysticks has started glitching. This is my second PowerA controller and my last one. Stay far away from this brand.

    I love the design on this controller but the buttons just feel extremely mushy and the thumbsticks feel sort of cheap. If you need a controller in a pinch it's not a bad one to have and the price is fair.

    Whether you chose this design or another, I highly recommend upgrading to these controllers as they are much more comfortable and sturdy than the standard included joycon set. Glad I made the purchase.

    Drift is a constant issue. I'm not sure if it is entirely this controller, (as restarting the app / switch helps but only briefly,) then the drifting returns.

    Got this controller at a great price and it has provided excellent value; motion controls work great and buttons are responsive. It only needs rechargeable battery to make it perfect.

    I purchased the controller since it was on sale and it came as an open box item without the charging cord. Controller was in perfect shape so buying a cheap usb-C cord still made this worth it.

    The controller can hold a charge. When playing, the controller begins to move on its own. You have no control over movement. It's terrible

    It feels cheap and has not on/off switch. So if it gets bumped in a backpack, it messes with the joy cons and screws up your game.

    Buttons stuck after a good year of usage. Would recommend if used sparingly only. Not for heavy users.
