Beautiful controller overall with some customizable features: (1) detachable back "paddle triggers" that can be mapped out as buttons (2) swappable analog sticks: concave/convex (3) swappable black and white faceplates (4) 3.5 audio jack during wired mode only (5) bluetooth wireless (6) carry case.
The only drawbacks are that BOTH the (1) HD Rumble (2) and the NFC/Amiibo scanners are not available for this controller. I don't care much for NFC but wished the HD Rumble was a available at least.
On a different note, despite there is no inner HD Rumble motors, the controller still has a nice "heft" to it. Overall ergonomics is similar to the official Pro Controller. The D-pad is also slightly "closer to the right stick which has an interesting "press down" as if it was an L3/R3. Buttons and sticks all feel responsive when playing 2D and 3D games. No issues yet since it's only been a couple days but hope there will be no "drift" later as some 1st/3rd party controllers experience overtime.
Overall rating: 9.5/10

Over priced junk.
So I have several issues with this remote for 99$. First it has no HD rumble or NFC. In order for the audio port to be used it must be connected to the switch via wire and placed on wired mode. (A toggle switch on the back of the controller)
I did like the faceplates but at some point the faceplate actually limit the joysticks from moving to extreme left right up and down. You notice it when you remove the faceplate and use the remote without one.
I read many reviews as thought I might take my chances.
I was so let down. Within the first day of using the controller for a couple of hours the left stick got stuck. And now it gets stuck any time I move it to the upper left part

This controller is amazing! Love the contour and design of it, especially if you're used to other gaming console controllers of the same design. Long battery life, comfortable in your hands, and not heavy. I think it's the best alternative from the standard Switch controllers

This controller was great it lasted about 2 years. Then the stick drift began. I reccomend the extra insurance for the controllers from best buy. Bestbuy has theyre Customers backs.

Worth every penny I was a little skeptical with the price, but the moment I open the package and saw the quality I felt way better. I love that you could customize the buttons and has its own case.

Joy-cons and regular switch controllers are too small. The fusion controller added some much needed weight and wider/thicker grip for easier control. I have neuropathy so I can effortlessly grip it and the weight somehow helped. It’s not as wide as the Xbox fusion controller. This should come in two sizes: small and large! If the fusion controls could be made universal then it would definitely be an amazing value.

One major flaw, easily fixed. See below. Pic inc

One MASSIVE flaw, but I figured out how to fix it. See the controller faceplate is the issue that causes you not to be able to move fully and accurately. On the right thumb stick hole, there’s this little plastic ring. Just rip that off the faceplate and your controller will work perfectly.
I had to figure this out because the PowerA company refused to fix a “KNOWN” issue unless I gave my receipt. I refuse to show my receipts to anyone less an accountant.
One you do this simple mod on the faceplate you are good to go. Never buying from them again. It’s like they are mad Katz or something.

I love this controller because it has back pads on the back and you can switch the front plates to white or mat black. It has a case that is really good for traveling and taking it on the go.

Great controller with a few minor issues

This controller is an incredible value if you only want to use it with your switch. There’s just a few minor issues. If you want to use it with on a computer as an input the chance of it working with a game are kind of 50/50. The joysticks are also poorly design in that the stick part is plastic. If you use the joystick too aggressively at the very edges of its motion it will rub with the controller faceplate and damage the stick part making it feel rough. Other than that I’m happy with my purchase, as I got it on sale for only around $10 more than the official switch pro controller. I just wish you could purchase more joysticks.
