    Not a fan of this controller. I will be returning it. Without the force control it makes playing Zelda harder

    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.
