    This controller looks nice and the extra buttons on the bottom are really useful, but when you hold it in your hands it feels like a happy meal toy. The lack of motion control is also unfortunate, but for the price I can forgive this.

    Good controller, only bought it because they’re sold out of the Zelda totk pro controller. Wish I’d of bought one when I had the chance, so I got this one since it doesn’t look like restock of the Zelda pro controller is coming anytime soon. Although one down fall about this controller is that amiibos do not work with it.

    I really like the feeling of the controller while playing. The only thing is that it does feel like cheap quality. The only thing I wish they did to the peo controllers is make it feel like it was work the koney uou spent on them. It kind if feels ljke a piece of plastic.

    Great controller, works great, love the skin, and buttom reactions work perfect. The buttons on the back are able to be maped the the stick clicks ( right t3 or left t3) witch in some games helps.

    Surprisingly Disappointing Joy con replacement

    This controller does not have the gyro function. If you do not keep it in a case while traveling then the joysticks can both develop “drift.” I tried to calibrate it like I would do any Nintendo Switch controller and it did not respond at all to the device. I was also unable to update this controller as I would any other Nintendo Switch controller. In conclusion, this controller was very disappointing. Just pay the extra $10-20 for a Pro controller (which this is not).

    With official Pro Controllers often being hard to find, I needed a good substitute for playing games with friends. While not as good as the real deal, this controller is the best off-brand one I've found. No connection or response issues, the buttons feel good, and I kind of like that it takes batteries instead of needing a charger.
