    Uses batteries so you’ll never worry about a rechargeable not holding a charge. No rumble though. Not that the Nintendo switch original controller rumble is that great. Oh hate the stupid buttons on the controller grips. Whose stupid idea was that? That’s the only thing I don’t like

    A good nice solid controller. Don’t waste your money on the pro, instead buy this. It has bottoms buttons just like the pro that work great. I switched from Xbox to Nintendo and I’m able to game just like I would on xobox, this controller is worth it and battery life seems to early die haha

    The controller works well with the switch. My son wishes it could also be used with a laptop. The joy cons could be more comfortable when playing the games.

    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.

    Decent alternative to Switch Pro Controller

    This controller definitely has a cheaper feel than the Switch Pro Controller but for the price it's a great alternative. The programmable buttons on the back are a nice touch. It does feel cheaper and lighter though. Keep that in mind. Functions similar to a Nintendo official controller

    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

    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.
