    It's a good controller. U can feel where they went cheap. But at least it gives the normal feel of a controller rather than the joy cons.

    I hate this controller. The feeling is not as good as that of the official one. The cable is unnecessarily long; it is 10 feet! I would not recommend this

    They have wired controllers just like this but I prefer wireless. As a plus, it’s half the price of the branded controller.

    Works as a great and affordable alternative to the pro controller. The quality isn’t quite as good, but when these are on sale it’s a no brainer.

    Great feel in hands. Buttons are a bit stiff and feel a bit late in response. A+ on button size enhancement.
