    The perfect wireless controller for the switch!! Wish I could use this even on my other consoles! The glowing lights are just icing on the cake! The quality is outstanding and the battery life is excellent!

    Great Controller to Use for Nintendo Switch

    This controller is perfect and very easy to use for the Nintendo Switch. It is very colorful when in use because it lights up when you press the buttons on the controller. I actually prefer to use this type of controller versus use the joycons that come with the switch itself.

    The balance of this controller was perfect for my wife, and the heft is just about right in my hands as well. The lighting isn't overpowering, and the responsiveness of the sticks is just right. Solid product.

    What this as a secondary controller, and couldn’t be happier, easy to customize, hold a great charge. Only downside is that it does not vibrate, nor have the amibo reader, but for the price point it’s worth it.

    Kids fight over it, Dad loves it

    My kids and me (the Dad!) LOVE this controller. The vibrant colors, especially when charging, provide a nice aesthetic. But, more importantly it holds and plays well. Buttons easy to push, comfortable, works like a charm with our Switch. Easy setup, and really impressed with how long it holds a charge -- we go days between playing and it still has battery ready for next gameplay. We'll probably be buying another one soon to replace the standard Joy-Cons -- my kids always fight over this controller! :)

    The cutest controller I ever did see. The only downside is that when I play Mario kart you can’t steer by tilting the controller, only with the knob. But it lights up

    This colorful controller is a wonderful addition to controllers! THIS CONTROLLER HAS: All buttons similar to a Nintendo Switch Pro controller. Mapping buttons on rear of controller. Color customization. THIS CONTROLLER DOES NOT HAVE: Amiibo functionality (no NFC scanner) Rumble function I highly recommend this controller for those who don't wish to spend $70 on pro controller s. Great for Birthdays and presents!
