Price
I’d buy a second if it was needed, the price is right.
Perfect for if you want to play older games but don't want to pay a bunch for nintendo's products.
Competitiveness
It's better than the classic controller offered by nintendo (and way cheaper).
You can change vibrations setting on controller itself by holding turbo and using dpad to change from off to low to normal to hitachi.
Bought this for my son, he wanted a controller like my purple pro controller and i wanted to try a different brand.
I actually picked up both this one and the nintendo offering.
