    Like the way it looks and price but that should have been a clue. The joystick won’t even work when trying to select ascending in TOTK. It’s not calibrated and thus completely worthless. I should have returned it but waited to long. Off to Goodwill for this piece of junk.

    Have to constantly replace the batteries

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It worked well and we liked the feel of it but returned because it requires batteries that basically have to be replaced every few days. I'd prefer a controller that charges by connecting to the Switch like all the other controllers we have.
