    So, the feel of the controller is light and plastic but the button responses feel great. The USB connection is great and in my opinion, it responds better than my pro controller that I've had since I got the switch! New smash bros controller for sure.

    The joy cons on the Switch kept malfunctioning. They have a warranty but the hold when sending them back to get repaired can take weeks & after a few months they would malfunction all over again. Those joy cons cost $70 - $80, cannot spend that each time they break. My son says this controller works so much better...no more drifting (at least not as much). Thank you for being quick & friendly when picking up my order.
