Pros & Cons

Pros

The dual motor vibration system provides tactile feedback that enriches gameplay and heightens immersion. This controller enhances immersion, control, and overall enjoyment of gaming on the nintendo switch. It is a must-have accessory for any avid gam...  Read More

The only thing i wish it has is a rubberized right stick.

Big enough hands that using the switch in handheld mode is uncomfortable. Controller dock has all the features you need without too much additional bulk. What bulk is there is for grip comfort.

This is a good option for those that want a better experience than the standard joycons in portable mode. It comes with different options that you can swap out the joy sticks for. The only problem i really have with it is the insane rumble.

The usb-c slot at the bottom of the console works well and without issue. The felt material in the holster protects the back of the switch from getting any scratches. The power for this controller comes directly from the usb port so i didn't have issu...  Read More



Cons

Good reviews on this are bought. Don't promise things you know your product can't do. It's functional, just not practical.

If i plug in a charging cable the system will charge but the controller will not function until the cord is removed. Weird stick drift has appears on both joy sticks, but the left directional sticks.

The included manual is very sparse and did not have instructions for remapping the *. Tried repairing to no avail.

Quality


It's great quality with gyro and rumble for an excellent price.


Its versatility extends beyond the handheld mode, as it can also be used in docked mode or wirelessly with the joy-con grip.


I am having trouble with the left joycon on an original release day nintendo switch.


On the other hand, while it fits the classic okay, it absolutely does not work with the oled as the description says.

Price


Given my experiences so far and it's relatively low cost i'd really recommend trying this!


I wasn't expecting it to be so good, considering the price.

Packaging/appearance


The vibration motors are more powerful than you would find in the joycons, while the buttons give you a nice tactile feel.


I had to add the joycons back onto the sides and it worked fine.

Competitiveness


If you have never used a wiiu, the gamepad was so comfortable to play on.


This is so much better than using joycons.


This is significantly less than new joycons and they function just about the same.


It puts a ps5 controller to shame with the rumble or "immersive haptic feedback" that is advertised.

    Apparently its been pretty actively advertised on gamerelated youtube content news to me i thought this would make it so my sad swollen arthritic hands could hold and play a switch easier

    Its just a simple extension adapter so it works just fine docked on the tv too though the controls on this are not removable from the rest of it
