Pros

Has no rumble, is a corded controller but the cord is long. Since this is the wired version, it comes with a micro usb charger.

This is essentially a nintendo pro controller that has been fashioned in the shape of a gamecube controller. Stays true to the octagonal shape of the gamecube. It wakes up the switch which most third party controllers don't do.

The zl/zr * are oversized on this controller as opposed to the * on my switch lite. Once the muscle memory kicks in, the controller delivers a very similar experience to the original gc controller. It's very similar to using the og gc controllers.

Only issue with the down joy stick.

I returned mine shortly after using it, the controller feels kind of cheap, but for the price it's at, i can't really complain.

Shipping

It was ordered 6/11 and i chose free shipping, though it arrived 6/13 whereas confirmation stated 6/16.

Competitiveness

Using for nintendo switch, it was a solid and cheap option as a backup controller to my expensive joycons.
