    I purchased this item and they on May 5 and it suppose to arrive the same day and they rather send it on the date they want to ship it. They always say one day shipping but it's not one day shipping. They always ship it on the date they want.

    Good input reliability and little noticeable input lag. Beware throwing it in a bag for travel though, this easily turns on from hitting buttons.

    It’s a bit clunkier than some of the other controllers that we’ve gotten for the switch. Not the same grip and function. But it works ok

    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

    Will not charge, works great as long as you use the USB cable for playing, but that defeats the purpose of a wireless controller.

      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
