i find the art style of this exact controller especially awesome and it was about 7 dollars cheaper at the time as other styles. only possible downside is you need an adapter if you wanna use the nintendo in tablet or tabletop mode, whatever they call it but that is not really a downside and the usb fits perfect and tight in the standard dock. two easy-to-program buttons on the grip as well.

Great product. Controller works as intended and the usb cable that comes with it very long. The controller feels a bit light but this does not detract from its functionality at all

Great basic controller, and a low budget alternative for the kids. Joycon is an clear step up for motion, but this is really a more practical option.

It works like it should and the design is cute, but the cable is too long for my liking with no option to use another cable.

Cool little controller, only down side is with this one you’re not allowed to remap the buttons so it takes a while to get used to the different button lay out. It has these extra triggers near the handle and I have no idea what they are for

Looks cool with Samus Aran on it. Just started using it on 1/5/22 after buying it on 11/12/21. Could have been better, no vibrations, feels kinda cheap like i can break it if i press the buttons fast or hard enough. Could've been at least wireless but it does have a long wire which I'm afraid that either 1 of my 4 cats or my pitbull are gonna bite it.

I bought this because it was cheap, $9.99. However, when I started playing it I really loved it but I then realized that the trigger button was not working only if I were to push it very hard but by that point I might as well use the joycons.

this is a great controller!! not only is the design super cute but it functions perfectly and makes a LOT of my Switch games so much easier to play; i only use the "joy-con" stick controllers that originally came with my Switch to play Tetris 99 now lol, everything else I play using this controller since it's much more familiar to me and easier to use (especially for games like Splatoon). it doesn't have rumble/vibration functions built-in, but that doesn't personally bother me at all, and the product information mentioned the lack of rumble, so i was aware of that before buying, anyways. would definitely recommend it to others!

We needed a second controller for the switch and for the price this one was perfect. My son loves Pokemon now so the design was a great option. The cord is long enough for when he is playing on the TV and hasnt tangled up yet.
