I would recommend this to a friendKids did not like the remote.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son's remote broke so I bought him this remote as a replacement. He was not happy with it. It's just an individual preference. Just didn't work for him.
I would recommend this to a friendHappy with it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a gift, he had the indigo one which HE LOVED, so hoping long term this one will do it justice like the other.
I would recommend this to a friendQuit after 3 days
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 2 of these and returned both. They were working great until about the 3rd day. I experienced extreme drift on the joysticks, not one but both controllers as my girlfriend and I were playing super smash bro’s. I was hopeful for these controllers, but they were a complete waste of money. I will get the OG GameCube controllers and adapter for my switch for my replacement.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Broken a few weeks after use
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this to use as a PC controller and everything went fine. It wasn't until I got a switch the controller started drifting upward, making it impossible to play a lot of games that require precise movement. I know this is more of a Nintendo thing, but when I buy a controller I expect it to last longer than 2 months. I have a GCN controller that's as old as I'am that works better than this.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendPerfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like the original, but new. Works great for almost every game on the Nintendo switch, especially smash bros.
I would recommend this to a friendThe left stick is hard drifting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's only been a couple days and I barely even used the controller. It was working fine but then I plugged it in one day and the left stick is constantly inputting left. It doesn't matter if I use compressed air to try to clean anything out. It seems to be an issue with the electrical component itself.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller stopped working after 4 weeks. Its a third party product so Nintendo cannot help. Best Buy only accepts returns after 15 days so not exchangeable. Do not buy third party products for Nintendo.
