Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The battery life is long and can easily withstand a full day or more of gaming. It's accurate, there's no delay like in off-brand controllers and it fits well even in big hands like mine.

The controller fits quite nicely in my hand. It has a dense feel to it, and i don't feel any plastic creaking. Feels great, holds a long charge and no sticky button issues.



Cons

Buyer beware. Nintendo's qc is garbage or the controller i got was used or refurbished. When a consumer specifically purchases something as new, it should be sold as such.

There's pry marks on the left grip. The left joystick has slight feedback drift.
