So far, so good!
Works great and feels great. Got the controller on sale for $30, super worth the price for the first impressions.

Just what we needed
We needed an extra controller for our Nintendo Switch so our kids could play certain games with more ease than the Joy Cons. This does exactly what it says and the Mario design is super cute. My kids love it!

Waste of money
First Controller had a stick drift within a week, when did an exchange, thought maybe was my fault, out the box a couple up down motions and the new one has stick drift.

Mr.
The buttons stick. The cost of this controller is so high and the person performance is so poor it's practically offensive.

Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well with the Switch Lite and other models (we have Switch Lite). My son likes the way it fits his hands, and the buttons work well. Uses AA batteries, which last a while under normal usage. Overall well made product.

No motion
No motion control makes this model useless to me

Buy buy buy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm def going to stick with this controller from now on!! I've bought 8 different generic controllers on here this year (honestly within 8 months) and they all broke!! I HATE having to pay so much for the Nintendo brand wireless one bc they don't even last long enough for the price at all!! This isn't rechargeable...(2) AA batteries, but i don't mind bc the batteries take longer to die and no worries with the batterie burning up!! I dropped this the other day and i got real scared nc I'm so tired of my controllers breaking... but it's fine!! Now, some controllers aren't really great for fast paced fighting games but this one most def is!! I play a lot of fortnite and i actually like this better than the Nintendo (bc the joysticks aren't super sensitive like Nintendos, but also aren't too stiff... just right)!!! So, skip all the knock offs on here bc i swear I probably tried all of them if not really close and not one lasted longer than a month!! Response time is great!

Great option for the Switch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the hit of the holidays. The size is great for all ages and makes it easier for everyone to join in on game time. It was also easy to set up and get it connected to the Switch, and the battery lasted a long time.

Lightweight but sturdy controller for Switch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this controller because it is very lightweight and doesn’t tire your hand. The color is also very nice retro gray. Battery life is long too.

Goes perfectly with Switch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is now the second power A wireless controller i’ve had. It works perfectly with the nintendo switch, and feels very comfortable in my hands. The one thing that is lacking is the battery life though - these things run out very quickly.

Best controller
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The durability of this controller is amazing. It works very well and I love it. Battery life is out of this world! Purchase this if you have a switch. Won’t regret.

Great wireless controller
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This controller meets most of my needs for a wireless controller, it’s decently durable for when things get heated in Mario Kart, the switch responds quick to it so no lagging during smash, it feels comfortable in my hands, and has a good battery life! It was also super quick and easy to set up and pair with my switch!

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so much better than your standard joy-cons and definitely worth it if you want a better controller for your switch. The buttons all feel premium and nice to press, the joysticks are more premium feeling as well and don't feel like they'll break over time (like how the Joy-cons prevalently succumb to stick drift), and the controller fits nicely in your hands even if you have larger hands. The controller paired with my Switch automatically and I didn't have to do a single thing to initiate the pairing. Compatibilitygood responsiveness good battery life.
