Many appreciate the wireless functionality and the responsive buttons. However, some users report experiencing stick drift and note the absence of rumble or vibration features. A few also mention the controller's relatively light weight.

    It feels cheap and has not on/off switch. So if it gets bumped in a backpack, it messes with the joy cons and screws up your game.

    This broke within one or two weeks of using it. The left stick was constantly moving without me touching it.

    Whether you chose this design or another, I highly recommend upgrading to these controllers as they are much more comfortable and sturdy than the standard included joycon set. Glad I made the purchase.

    Got this controller at a great price and it has provided excellent value; motion controls work great and buttons are responsive. It only needs rechargeable battery to make it perfect.

    I purchased the controller since it was on sale and it came as an open box item without the charging cord. Controller was in perfect shape so buying a cheap usb-C cord still made this worth it.

    The controller can hold a charge. When playing, the controller begins to move on its own. You have no control over movement. It's terrible

    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.

    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.

    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.
