    This is a great controller and performs exactly as described. It connected instantly and the buttons all work and feel great. One issue I seem to be having is that when i plug the USB in to charge through the switch dock, it doesn't work. The light blinks and then stays off, indicating it's not charging. This is extremely strange, because when the switch comes out of sleep mode, the light goes on and is steadily charging. It's not the cable because when I plugged it into the wall, it charges just fine. And I have other things in the dock USB that charge just fine while the switch is asleep. Could just be a minor flaw, but also sort of annoying. I've read some reviews saying it feels a little cheap. I see what they are saying, but I think the top matte finish feels amazing and the buttons and joysticks feel sturdy. I do think $50 is a little steep for this controller, but I believe you are paying for the fact it is a licensed controller.

    I love this controller, it's wireless and a lot bigger than the smaller standard controller for the switch, its definitely a controller for the older generation...

    I've been really impressed with this controller. The programmable buttons on the bottom come in really handy. I love how I can wake the switch and controller both by hitting the home button. Hitting the power or sleep button on the console turns off the controller. It does everything I want it to do and more. Excellent value.

    I like playing my switch docked if I know I’m gonna be playing a game for hours on end. Playing with the joycons in the little thing but over time my hand starts to cramp. I got a cheap controller but it needed AA battery’s and it felt cheap. This controller however feels like the real deal. I can charge it and i can play for a whole week straight without changing it again. I also love how it has some Weight to it.

    These controllers work. Make's hooking up the switch to your TV and a group of people huddles around playing a lot more fun. Would recommend these controllers. They are very light, feels a little cheap, but I own four so that's saying something. I left this review on the white version as well. Overall these controllers are great and are a must if you're playing mario kart or something else with friends.

    Excellent Controller for $40

    I bought this for my wife who plays Animal Crossings and various Mario games. She absolutely loves it and wishes we would have bought it sooner. I originally got her the 8bitdo sn30 Pro+ Controller, and while it was constructed well, we had endless issues keeping it paired to her Switch. This controller, once paired, remains paired with the switch, unlike the 8bitdo. This controller is an excellent pickup at $40.

    My daughter brought this as this is the only she can afford from the money she saved. It was a good one, It lasted for 8 months. Because we brought this through Best Buy membership, we got a replacement for free.

    Pros: -inexpensive compared to a new Xbox or PS controller -paddles on the bottom come with it and you don't need to buy them separately -great ergonomic feel Cons; -inexpensive compared to a new Xbox or PS controller (my brother doesn't treat it as well as I do and I've noticed the buttons slowly start to sit lower and lower)

    Poor build quality in joysticks

    Not sure if I purchased 2 faulty controllers, but more than likely just not great build quality when it comes to joysticks. All I play is Mario Kart, so after a month my first ones left joystick felt like it was broken inside. Would randomly get stuck in the down position causing drift. Returned it with protection plan to get a replacement. Used second one a little less to see if I could prolong the life of it. Well second one had the same issue after 2 months. Build quality just doesn't hold up like I need it to. I also have the PowerA nano controller just like this one and the build quality is soooo much better in it. Had it for 9 months now and still no drift or stick issues. If PowerA would improve the quality of parts used, I think this would be a great long lasting controller. Will be returning the second one in hopes i can exchange for another Nano version

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I bought 2 of these for my Nintendo Switch. The original controllers are kinda small and uncomfortable for extended periods and I was getting hand cramps. These seem to have taken care of that problem.Yay!

    God controller. It works well with my Switch. The programmable macros are a nice feature. The bottom recall buttons are a little to easy to push though which can cause some accidental presses.
