    easy to pare with the Switch, but the quality doesn't seem to be here. The controls lag, sometimes they seem to completely stop working all together for a short period of time. Probably worth spending a few extra dollars on a different model. I wish I had.

    Great product! I love that it takes AA batteries instead of plug in charger. My family loves it! I need 3 more for the family..

    The feel is definitely on the lighter side making it feel it can easily break. Especially considering it is mostly for kids. Aside from that I had zero issues setting it up and playing with it. Good buy.

    A very sturdy and nice controller that fits the Nintendo switch and looks cool as well. The controller was on sale and thus price was good.

    A good controller if you struggle with the joycons. Not as nice as PS or Xbox controllers but it does the job.

    Bought this for my oldest since he plays the Switch the most. He loves Mario and figured it was time for him to get his own controller.
