    It works, but with no Gyro, no battery indicator, and no vibrations, I had to return it and just spend the extra money on an actual switch controller.

    Already had an issue with the right side joystick. Fortunately company has a 2 year warranty. Contacted them and they are replacing controller at no charge. However, it will take 3 weeks for the replacement.

    Got stick drift after a couple months, I'm sure my son's handling of this had something to do with it.

    Definitely would recommend if you don’t feel like playing on the little switch controllers. The controller although it does feel a little cheap for the price you pay over would recommend

    It's no substitute for the pro controller. A bit bulkier and doesn't have a great of a "feel". Still, it's functional, and has customizable inputs on the back.

    I got this controller for my 5 year old after the original gave out. It has batteries which is kind of inconvenient but for the price you can’t complain. Looks cool also!

    Bought this for my nephew he uses it very often. This controller does get the occasional joycon drift that Nintendo is known for. But for the price it’s a decent controller.

    Excellent controller, love the feel of the analog sticks but I would have to say that it does not feel as secure or durable like a Xbox/PlayStation controller. Overall however, a very good purchase

    I'm a big fan of Pikachu, so I was happy to see this controller on sale. The only thing I have an issue is battery life. Any batteries don't last that long. But overall, it does the job and happy with it.

    Controller stopped working properly in less than 1 month. Drifting problem. When connected to the switch it’s constantly pressing “down”.
