||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is average at best. The hardware is cheap and really doesn't last long, you are better off with the regular controllers . slow lag response time as well

Less than a month in, and the drift is here
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller about three weeks ago and I'm already having major drift issues with the left stick. I didn't even use it for the first week I had it because I was still waiting for my Switch to arrive. So two weeks of (admittedly moderate to heavy) use means that every now and then Link (BOTW) moves forward at a stumbling snail's pace instead of full speed or tries to walk towards the camera when the stick is in neutral position. I can fiddle with the stick for a minute to get it back to working for another hour or so before it starts up again. Some might argue that you get what you pay for in this controller, but I went with this controller because even the much more expensive Nintendo Pro controllers have complaints about drift issues. I figured that if I was unlucky enough to get a problem controller, then at least I wouldn't have paid $60 or more for it. I still expected this to last at least 3-4 months. There is a two-year manufacture's warranty apparently, so I may try to work with that, but other's have complained that it's a mess of a company to work with. I will likely give this controller another go (I need to get one before the drift renders my current one unusable) just because it's a quarter of the price of the pro and I don't want to throw extra money towards a controller with similar known issues.

Not Bad!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this for a while with my Switch but recently bought an adapter so I could use my Xbox controller instead. I found the Xbox controller to be more familiar. Just my opinion.

Decent controller for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its an okay controller. I don't like it for playing smash because the sticks are way too big. Prefer the pro controller stick size.

Wired Remote

Cheap option for switch.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller itself feels kinda cheap and the analog sticks are not well calibrated so using the analog sticks can be very inaccurate.

Just average
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you need an extra wired controller this works, but the large analog stick buttons make it feel cheap.

Recommend wireless
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would recommend buying a wireless controller as opposed to the wired one, if it being wired is really a concern the wireless ones are able to be connected with no issues. Being that the system is portable and pulling on the controller/wire will cause the system to go flying. This is not a good thing for such an expensive and small system.
