Not worth 12 dollars - 28 days ago, Verified purchaser
Not a great controller! When I first got it, I put it to charge and it worked great. A few days later, it wouldn’t charge anymore. It would turn on if I plugged it in but after leaving it to charge for a few hours, it would die right when I would unplug it! It obviously not supposed to do that since it’s a wireless controller and it shouldn’t be connected to the charger 24/7. I now have to return it. Please DONT buy this controller!!!!
It won't last longer than a year

For those who are complaining about drifting, try to calibrate your controller before returning. I experienced drifting initially but went into the settings, calibrated, and now it’s working great. I think it definitely should be perfect out the box but unfortunately it happens!
Must-Have!

The XBox controller has become the standard for great controls and ergonomic comfort. This controller by Nintendo doesn’t disappoint. The quality is amazing. The buttons, triggers and joysticks feel perfect. The rumble is spot-on, too. I would recommend for any game that doesn’t require or benefit from motion controls. Metroid Dread is a perfect game to play with this. As a Target Team member, this review is my own opinion and does not reflect the views of Target or any vendor.
Serious gamers buy the protection plan.

It’s been about 4 months now with my controller and there’s no sign of joycon drift so that’s pretty great! SUPER sturdy and a very nice feel to it. Buttons feel nice too
Worth it!

So much better than trying to play with the joy cons. Fits better in your hands and thumbs don’t cramp up
If you can justify the price, this is the best controller you can get for switch!

I never write reviews but I really want to because of all the mixed reviews to give some perspective. Before the getting this controller I tried using a PowerA brand wireless rechargeable controller because of the design and mappable buttons. The PowerA controller looked really nice but the quality of the controller was very poor. The controller kept de syncing, there was tons of input lag, and the build quality was very poor. The materials used in the controller felt cheap. The switch pro controller is the way to go in my opinion. Every issue I had with the third party controller is completely gone. The controller is quick, responsive, and made of higher quality materials for sure. The buttons and triggers are very springy and responsive. Though I have seen some complaints about the D-Pad I actually like it. The controller was much quicker to sync up to the switch, I have had zero input lag at all and the quality is better where I don’t feel like the controller will break within a couple of gaming sessions like I did with the other controller. The only downside is the price and the fact that the Switch Pro controller doesn’t come with different designs. To sum up, if you can justify the price of the controller it is definitely worth picking up. The 3rd party wireless controllers go for around $50 so for the extra $20 I think it is worth it to pick up the Nintendo Brand Switch.
Keep the box to exchange

Joy stick moves on its own. Very disappointed. I purchased 1 the year before and it was perfect. Then bought 2 this time and both were defected. Exchanged them and after 1 WEEK of use both joysticks drift/move on their own. Its a hit or miss. Keep your box and exchange as many times you can. Maybe then theyll start fixing the issue after losing money.
You will probably have to return.

This controller is amazing. I absolutely recommend purchasing some of these to go with your switch. They are more comfortable and work better than the joy cons—even compared to the joy cons in the controller holder that comes with the switch. These Nintendo brand controllers also work so much better than any non-Nintendo brand controller that is also compatible with the switch. It comes with a USB charging cord that can either plug into the switch or into any standard phone charging cube. After my first one came, I bought two more! Totally worth the price!!

I bought two, not even looking at peoples reviews. my two remote controls won’t even stayed connected to the switch. It connects then my kids r all excited ready to play, and disconnects within a minute. It’s so frustrating because you would think they work if Nintendo switch came out with these

Might have got a defect or a used one. Packaging looked alright so I’m assuming it was defective the on the right was just moving itself like it was possessed. Returned it the next day will end up pickin) another one up hopefully the joystick will be okay!

So far I’m not impressed. It seems like it has the same joy-con drift as the controllers that come with the switch. I’m not sure if it is just because it is new and will go away with time or not.
