    If you are looking for a wireless controller to replace your oem one, then this is a good option. Can't beat OEM quality. Wait until it goes on sale though

    Great addition for the switch just don't like that you can't plug a gaming headset directly to the controller like you do to Dualshock controllers

    Motion controls are ok. The gyro seems to be a little off but overall, good controller. I gave it only 3 stars because of the lack of comfort, but I do have big hands.

    Joy con drift

    Was unlucky and mine had the joy on drift issue. Purchased in the middle of the Covid lockdowns so I was not able to return or exchange mine. It is very comfortable to play with and hold though. Very annoying that my animal crossing character slowly walks away when I’m not even holding anything.

    Why do all the buttons turn it on!

    The most frustrating thing about the switch or Nintendo in general controllers is that they don't have a dedicated button for turning them on. If you travel with these and don't have some special carrying case, expect tons of wasted battery and constant automatic connection interruptions as they will non stop to the slightest movement activate any one of the 15 on buttons scattered all over. If this can be fixed with a firmware update for the home button alone to turn it on the it must happen. Same for the Joycons.

    The controller works fine but for the price it feels very cheap. One of the handholds feels loose it kind of crackles every time you use it. This is after about a month of a few times a week use. I wish I would have just bought one of the cheaper non Nintendo versions of this controller.

    I buy overpriced controllers. I have the Elite for Xbox and believe that the quality is on point with the price. Can't say the same on this controller. Feels cheap in my hands.

    Bought this so that we could play fortnite on the switch. Using this controller is a lot easier than the switch or the controllers it comes with. If you’re use to the PS or Xbox controllers, you won’t regret buying this.

    I was excited to get this in as my joy con started to have drifts. Right out of the box it had a worst drift with the left directional stick. Apparently it's a known issue with the Pro Controllers. Very Disappointed!!

    Most Controllers Bunk

    It has a great feel to it, but with that said mine and it seems many others have faced the issue of one of sticks having a false reading. There is a solution to it, but may ormay not work and requires taking it apart and may have to do it multiple times if it messes up again. Would definitely NOT recommend this Nintendo product.
