Easy to use
Got these controllers as an addition to the one that comes with the console, and really like this option much more. It's easy to hold and use and the charge lasts for more than enough time for a light gaming household.

Joystick Drift after 4 weeks.
Initially, this was great, but after 4 weeks the left joystick is drifting so badly to the left we cannot play.

Nintendo does it right
This is one of the most comfortable controllers out there. The built in battery saves you the hassle of having to always needing to have AA batteries on hand. Great quality as you would expect from Nintendo. This is the second one I have now. I purchased during the Black Friday sales.

Hesitant but happy.
Was a bit hesitant to get this with the reviews talking about drift but the one I got was perfectly fine and makes playing the switch a lot more enjoyable versus the joy cons

It's ok
I bought this thinking I'd get the hang of the buttons since I play my regular Switch Lite/Oled on the regular; thinking it'd be easier to play for on my PC, but honestly, I preferred my X-box controller for PC. It's just a lot smoother, and even though I don't like the configurations, this pro controller feels very stiff and harder to manage for me. It also has a lag on PC, not sure if it's my actual laptop or the fact I'm using this new controller. Honestly, I would return it, but I love these types of gadgets & maybe it would work best with games that aren't so active? I really don't get it, maybe someone else has the answer. For me, I just feel for PC, my X-box controller was just fine after all and this pro controller Nintendo is really not necessary. Since I have the usb cable now, I'm going to try to configure my X-box button controls to what I want and see if it takes.

Biggest waste of money
This controller is terrible. I’ve only had it two months and I’ve had constant issues. It disconnects frequently in the middle of game play. It has major drift issues with both the L and R joy stick that cause both my character and the screen to constantly move and I have to fight against. I’ve tried everything to stop it and nothing work. It’s also just really uncomfortable to hold. Very disappointing

Nice, love playing with it.
It has a very nice feeling to it, the plastic that is made of has a very good quality that provides a good grip and feeling while playing. Idk if it’s worth the price but if you can afford it go ahead, if not, you’re not missing much.

Must have for pro Switch players
The battery life is awesome. The built quality is a little bit cheap, but it's definitely the best controller for Switch.

Great buy!
Great investment! It’s been a few months since I bought it. I only use occasionally when I’m playing on the big screen and when I’m playing co-op at home. No issues so far! It fits great in my hands, very ergonomic! It also holds a charge well.

Major Upgrade!
I bought this specifically for Fortnite. I noticed with the joy-cons in the controller grip (pictured on bottom) that after a while that triggers weren’t working, my movement was lagging, and I could barely play the game anymore. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the joy cons, recalibrating them, making sure they were fully charged, but nothing worked. I started doing some research and saw mixed reviews on this product, but wanted a controller by Nintendo to hopefully avoid any connection/function issues that can happen with knock offs. Let me just say, I hit the jackpot with this one! Everything moves so freely and it honestly just feels great to use. There is absolutely no lag or drifting in the game anymore, and the triggers/buttons work exactly how they’re supposed to. As an added bonus, it had enough charge out of the box that I’m just now charging it for the first time, a week after getting it. Can’t recommend this controller enough! If you’re on the fence and are scared of the mixed reviews, take the gamble anyway. It’s worth it.

Great Controller!
This is an overall fantastic controller! Fits very comfortably in your hand. Enjoy using it on occasion over the joy cons, especially when playing with the big screen. While it is a little pricey (Nintendo for ya!) I highly recommend the investment if you enjoy playing all types of Switch games.

Quality control
At first I wasn’t a fan because I wasn’t used to it but now it’s all i do. Very comfortable and shape to my hands. Long lasting battery. Makes playing zelda so much better

side drift is real
I didn't believe all the bad reviews about the drift but it's real. It's frustrating when it's constantly shifting right.

Great controller
We like this controller better than the joy cons. These are easier to use especially for young kids.
