    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.

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

    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.

    This controller is good, If you have a pro controller and you need a second one. The buttons look and feel good. I haven't got a chance to charge the controller yet with my playtime.

    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

    Impossible to clean no matter what you use, it's permanently stained from anything-oil from skin, lotions, makeup. Also no longer can be used wirelessly as it no longer holds a charge and will not turn on if not plugged in. I can plug it into an outlet if my switch is too far away but it needs constant power now. Should've gotten the pro controller.

    I definitely enjoy wireless more than wired, a lot easier than having to deal with tied up cables
