    This controller feels much better than the standard Switch controllers, which are too small to use comfortably for adult hands.

    Great controller with a great feel. Don't have a shooter yet to really get a feel for the triggers but for playing in docked mode it is my first choice.

    Issues for competitive gaming

    Im sure every switch controller has some type of issue at this point. I thought this would be the be all end all for me. But its looking like Im gonna be using my warranty soon. The controller has this thing called snapback on the left analog. When im playing super smash ultimate my character will always turn 180 in the opposite direction if i attempt a quick running attack or grab. Also, sometimes the right analog does not work when i am trying to perform a tilt attack sometimes im just standing there stargazing while my opponent exploits my idleness because the friggin analog didnt react. I believe it has something to do with the analog having to be positioned at the center before being able to input. Even knowing this though, for both situations I cannot avoid these issues and it is extremely frusterating. Other than these inconveniences the controller is fine. But i bought for smash and have been dispointed by these issues.

    Needed a switch controller that was something more familiar than the standard controller. This fit the bill plus added switch features.

    Looks great and feels great. Works and responds well. The only negative thing is the price. Pretty costly in comparison to a Xbox or PS4 controller.

    My hands are bigger so using the controllers that came with the system is very difficult. With the controller playing the switch is so much easier!
