    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.

    My 9 yr old grandson wanted this wireless controller . It’s decorated with POKEMAN characters. Takes batteries, which comes with it.

    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

    I'm a big fan of Pikachu, so I was happy to see this controller on sale. The only thing I have an issue is battery life. Any batteries don't last that long. But overall, it does the job and happy with it.

    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.

    Bought it for my 6 year old. Rather have it be a usb rechargeable controller. But it’s not too shabby to keep your kid happy with the graphics which makes it cool.
