- Pros mentioned:Design
Design is nice, controller is... meh
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the design on this controller but the buttons just feel extremely mushy and the thumbsticks feel sort of cheap. If you need a controller in a pinch it's not a bad one to have and the price is fair.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Must have!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Drifting a constant issue.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Drift is a constant issue. I'm not sure if it is entirely this controller, (as restarting the app / switch helps but only briefly,) then the drifting returns.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friendGreat sale
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendIt works, but has no features.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Battery life
Terrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Joystick issue but warranty covering it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friend3/10 at least it's animal crossing
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendRecommendation
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buttons stuck after a good year of usage. Would recommend if used sparingly only. Not for heavy users.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely would recommend if you don’t feel like playing on the little switch controllers. The controller although it does feel a little cheap for the price you pay over would recommend
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Overall performance
Great back up controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Decent controller, comcerened about stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got stick drift after a couple months, I'm sure my son's handling of this had something to do with it.

Good controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works so far. I haven’t had this thing long enough to be able to give a full review but Best Buy has been hounding me to do this so I will I think I hit my 50 characters
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPowerA Nintendo Switch Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friendController feel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
