    Worked a two weeks, now the right side toggle is always causing a movement even when not touched and centered, definitely not worth what us being charged for it.

    I bought this due to it being cheaper than a pro controller. Needless to say, I regretted that decision immediately after I used the pro controller and realized how much smoother it was.

    These things drift like any other cheap product made for the switch after a few months you start to get more problems right after the return period expires. convenience I think not

      Hi Zack! Please know that the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch does not support HD rumble, IR, or Amiibo NFC. Multiple variables affect the battery life estimate. powera-alpine
