    For the price, you can’t beat it! Having big hands, the controllers that come with the system were hard for me to use and uncomfortable. The lady at Best Buy recommended this controller and has been perfect for use well over a year thus far.

    I bought these controllers mainly to use playing retro video games on the Raspberry Pi and they work great. I have not even used them on the Nintendo Switch. I bet they would work great though as they function great with the Raspberry Pi using retro pi and some ROMs.

    The controller is great for casual players, but if you are planning to play smash bros competitively for example, you'll get stick drift in about 3 months.

    Good controller for the money. Good size, similar to an xbox controller. I cannot use the small “half” Controllers the console comes with. Only drawback is the cord...but I knew that would be an issue when I bought it. It is nice to not have to worry about batteries but the cord is restrictive.

    I purchased this controller for my son as an alternative to the joy con to play Fornite on the Nintendo Switch. It took a little while for him to get use to it, but he now prefers to use this controller over the joy con controllers to play fortnite.

    Picked this up on sale for the kiddos to use. Don’t expect super quality. But if you’re looking for a spare controller for “player 2” and don’t want to spend a lot of money I see this as a good purchase. No amiibo reader and not wireless! But comes with a wired cable.

    We really like these expecially for the price. If you have a switch you know the little joysticks go bad quick. The only option is to go to a controller. The wireless are wicked expensive so we tried these. Everyone loves them. Long cord and easy to set up.

    I’m an Xbox gamer so this controller fits like a glove! The sensitivity of the sticks is lower and stiffer than the joy cons which gives greater control especially when playing fortnite! The cord is plenty long and is great for long gaming sessions because it doesn’t need to be charged. The price is also great!

    Very good value for the money, works well, comfortable to hold. The only downside is that it is wired (as advertised), but the wire is long enough to use comfortably.

    Purchased for a friend who was itching for a spare controller, but didn't want to purchase another set of joycons. So far, he is very pleased with the responsiveness of the controller. When I play, I love the size and feel of the controller, as I am very used to the XBOX controller size and button placements.

    It's nothing special and if you want the best experience, probably get the Pro controller, but for the price it's pretty good and will serve great as a Player 2 controller whenever someone comes over.
