    First things first, this controller is utterly adorable!!! It feels really nice in your hands, it's light weight, the buttons move like they're suppose to, and it's perfect for any AC fan :3

    I bought this product it does not come on wirelessly , does not connect to the Nintendo Switch, had no charge. Only allowed 14 day return. Purchased 4/14/25 it’s now 5/4/25 . Cannot exchange for a working one. A waste of money. Product doesn’t come on unless hardwired and stil does not connect to system. I am in Best Buy right now. They took it back and tested it and it did exactly the same thing that I did at home and he was no good and he still would not help me or compensate me for that so I am looking forward to calling corporate because this is not the first item that I’ve bought that is defective . All of your items soon as you get them lesson learned.

    Controllers work great. Very easy to set up. Find them a lot better to play with then using only a half of the controller that comes with the switch.

    This controller functions just as well as the pro controller, which I have as well, for significantly less money. Great feel, smooth and precise joy sticks and buttons. Wireless. I had to look up on the Internet what the difference was between the two and why this one was cheaper. Turns out there’s no rumble function or NFC reader. Didn’t even notice this for most of the gaming I do. If these features are not particularly important to you grab this and save a few bucks. Or if you already have a pro controller, this is a great second controller for less.

    Controller is built well with easy connectivity. Feels as good in my hands as the Pro controller (and has a better price point). Its definitely worth the price.

    Strong Alternative to Switch Pro controller

    I've got two of these controllers, both for under a year. So far so good. I have had 3 switch pro controllers, 1 just died and the others are starting to suffer from joystick drift. So far I haven't noticed any negatives with these controller. They have 2 mappable buttons along the bottom on the inside of the grips. This controller is lighter than the switch pro controller, and a little bit less comfortable. The battery life has been comparable to that of the switch pro controller. All in all, I think this is a solid choice and has become my go to controller for the extra buttons on the grips. An added bonus is that this controller goes on sale frequently. I spent about half of what a pro controller cost on this one. If it ever goes out, it won't break the bank.

    Good controller. Functions as it should. WAY more comfortable than using the Joycons. Feels good in the hand. Battery holds a charge for an impressive amount of time. Bought as a replacement, same model, though as previous one came down with permanent stick drift. Here's hoping that was an aberration. Overall this is my third purchase of this item. It was significantly cheaper than the "official" Nintendo controller so I went with this. For reference though, I've never used the official Nintendo version.

    I love this controller. It worked perfectly with Nintendo Switch. Only down side is it does not show battery life on screen but that’s not a big deal because if you charge it complete first time you get 45 hours of playing time without charging in between. The grips and the sticks work well and are easy to move about. Would definitely recommend!
