    I am not sure how this controller would work with all systems, but with the Nintendo Switch, it was impossible to pair. I do not believe this was user errors, as a few reviews had the same problem. The second controller I purchased was a Nintendo brand controller and paired in minutes.

    My son is obsessed with Pokemon, so I had to purchase the controller. It's solid for the most part but it drains AA batteries like nothing I’ve seen before. It will literally go through a set of batteries in a week after putting fresh ones in. I purchased two before I knew about the design flaw but other than that they've served their purpose.

    These controllers work. Make's hooking up the switch to your TV and a group of people huddles around playing a lot more fun. Would recommend these controllers. They are very light, feels a little cheap, but I own four so that's saying something.

    Controller has better weight than the battery powered and wired controllers, also buttons, Dpad, and joystick feel really good. Great pickup if you play docked frequently.
