It's cute but the mechanics are abysmal!
Everyone giving 5x is basing it on looks alone! Super cute but impossibly laggy. Despite claiming to be an official licensed product, the Switch 2 doesn't even register it. The picture quality is horrible! 480p? Are you kidding?! Returning it immediately to buy the ugly black standard one because at least it's actually official and 1080p.

Cute camera spin / poor video quality
It was packaged well and offers a cute spin on the camera design, but not worth the 5 extra dollars. The packaged usb c cable didn’t work well when plugged in to the switch 2 on the dock for TV mode. Had to use another usb c cable to get it to work.

Will Not Work With Games
Just as a warning if you bought this for video chat or for Mario Party coming out soon it will not work for that. It currently does not work with Welcome Party and does not register multiple people like the switch camera does. So you will not be able to play games. I was so disappointed when I discovered this. Please be warned if you bought it to play games with.

Don't waste your money!
Thought this going to be a cool collection for the switch 2, but 480p is awful. Bought the black camera instead, for less money and better quality.

Terrible Quality / Fun Design
480p?!? It’s 2025 and no reason to have less than a 1080p camera. Quality is awful which is a shame because the idea of it is awesome

Do not buy- horrible camera
The camera quality is HORRIBLE which is such a shame because it’s so cute (especially compared to the normal camera) but since the camera quality is so bad it’s literally pointless to get. Buy the plain black one instead

Camera quality is terrible!
It's such a shame that the camera quality is so terrible because the product is made very well. I can't recommend this for the camera but it would look so cool as a paper weight. Unfortunately, I have to return this for the boring looking Nintendo camera.

Doesn't meet the specs for camera related gameplay
It looks good, and having the mouth act as a privacy screen is clever. That said, it doesn't actually work for Mario Kart, Switch 2 Tour, and likely any other game that uses the camera. It would be a simple video chat device, but any of the image recognition features do not work, presumably due to the low resolution.

Piranha plant looks cute, but please dont buy it.
This Switch 2 camera looks cute but it has a 480p resolution whereas the official Nintendo camera has a 1080p resolution. Buy that one instead and get a better image quality for $5 less.

Cute but terrible picture quality
It's cool looking, but that's about it. The picture quality is grainy and the "bendable" stem is almost impossible to get right where you want it as it is constantly trying to bend back to the straight position.

Gifted from a friend, but it is terrible
quality is 480p. In 2025 this feels so useless. The video quality is far too bad for a $60 camera. I have a 10 year old $20 logitech camera that is much much much better than this. At least it will look cool on my shelf. I is a really big shame, because the posability is extremely good, and the mouth closes to block the lense for privacy. The base allows it to sit on your monitor or the switch easily... but the video quality is so so bad.
