Pros

Works great on the switch especially for racing games like mario and *. This colour looks kinda cool, better than the normal colours.

My nephews also have a switch and there have been many family events where they have huddled around a table nearby with their cousins playing a multiplayer game. Comes with 2 wrist straps.

    My sons switch controllers had stopped working properly and i was worried i’d either have to replace the whole thing or pay for it to be repaired

    Havent tried it as birthday pressie
