    Using this device seemlessly between two systems. Supports an incredible gaming agenda, I would recommend multiple times. Easy to use programmable buttons and even easier use.

    Works well enough as Nintendo switch controller

    This controller is a less expensive option to the official switch pro controller. It works well enough for this purpose, but it doesn't have wired connection capabilities, nor NFC for amiibos. This makes it harder to connect to other devices, like a PC to play PC games without the wired feature.

    A functional and decently sleek controller for the price. The D pad could be improved but otherwise I am satisfied. Would make a good controller for an occasional player or as a spare.

    I was skeptical about buying a wireless controller for the switch as I was so comfortable on the joycons. But this controller is game changer and is comfortable to use!

    Same weight and almost the same quality as the official nintendo pro controller. Noticed drift after a month but may be because of us leaving it face down. Just something to note.

    I prefer to use this controller instead of joy cons for some games. Makes it easier to play and us more ergonomic for my hands. Even better when displaying on a TV

    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 bought this when I bought a Switch from Best Buy last month. The controller is built well with good response. It’s pretty comfortable, too. The buttons are noisy and ‘clacky’. Regardless, it still seems like a good, lesser expensive of the $70 Pro controllers. I much prefer the Dual Shock 4s myself.

    Love it. Saw some mixed reviews but im definitely satisfied with this. Feels great, response time is on point, and is a must have for anyone with a Switch Lite. Great for the regular switch console as well as it is better than using the joy cons when plahing something that demands a littlw more precision from your controller (FPS and Racing games especially.) I originally bought tgis because it said everywhere id need a co troller to play Breath of the Wild on a Switch Lite, and that turned out to be false. I am still glad i got this though.

    We had been using the Joy-Con controllers that came with the Nintendo Switch gaming system. They were not the most comfortable devices to use. Decided to invest in this controller today. It is so much easier to use and makes the gaming more enjoyable.
