    This product gets 5 stars simply for simplicity of setting up and the GS protection everytime it breaks which for me has been twice now I just go in switch out and repurchase the protection plan. That alone has saved me 80$

    Poor build quality in joysticks

    Not sure if I purchased 2 faulty controllers, but more than likely just not great build quality when it comes to joysticks. All I play is Mario Kart, so after a month my first ones left joystick felt like it was broken inside. Would randomly get stuck in the down position causing drift. Returned it with protection plan to get a replacement. Used second one a little less to see if I could prolong the life of it. Well second one had the same issue after 2 months. Build quality just doesn't hold up like I need it to. I also have the PowerA nano controller just like this one and the build quality is soooo much better in it. Had it for 9 months now and still no drift or stick issues. If PowerA would improve the quality of parts used, I think this would be a great long lasting controller. Will be returning the second one in hopes i can exchange for another Nano version

    I purchased this as a Christmas gift for a family member. Our family played with it together and we all had a blast. It is a fabulous product. It has great features and great quality. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for." My family and I have bought a lot of Nintendo products and we always were satisfied. Every time we purchase something from Best Buy, we always have awesome experience!

    Not quite a year, and it has connectivity issues, stick drift, and sometimes the Home button acts like it's controlling on of the sticks. And the customer support has been no help.

      I’m sorry to hear about your experience. That’s definitely frustrating, especially since the controller is not quite a year old.

      Connectivity issues, stick drift, and the Home button behaving like a stick input are not expected behavior. I understand your concern, particularly if you’ve already reached out to customer support and haven’t received helpful assistance.

      We’d like to help move this forward. Please let us know your proof of purchase and the exact model number, and we can review available warranty or replacement options for you. powera-alpine

    I love this controller, it's wireless and a lot bigger than the smaller standard controller for the switch, its definitely a controller for the older generation...

    Initially this controller was awesome. Worked well for the price and doesn't feel cheap. Now though there is an odd issue where when pressing right on the left analog stick it's almost like I'm tapping it. I likely just need to spray some electronic contact cleaning solution in there and let it dry and we'll be good. Overall I really like this controller, just wish I didn't already run into an issue with it.

    I bought 2 of these for my Nintendo Switch. The original controllers are kinda small and uncomfortable for extended periods and I was getting hand cramps. These seem to have taken care of that problem.Yay!

    My daughter brought this as this is the only she can afford from the money she saved. It was a good one, It lasted for 8 months. Because we brought this through Best Buy membership, we got a replacement for free.
