> 3 dayI bought this after trying out a similar looking, cheap competitor. There is no comparison between the two. This controller feels very well built and solid, with great button feel. The downloadable software is great and allows you to fine tune the joysticks and button mapping however you like. Battery life is excellent. Ive gotten over 5 hours and still havent recharged it since new. No problems pairing to Android (Samsung and Motorola both worked fine), or two Windows 10 PCs. No lag from the Bluetooth connection at all. Just buy it!

> 3 dayPurchased from this store for two reasons - a 5% coupon and free same-day delivery. I was a little nervous but it arrived and after set-up Im happy I ordered it. Syncing took a few tries but I got it to work eventually. Overall Im very pleased with the feel of the controller, the customization software, and the performance. If I have more feedback, Ill add it.

> 3 dayAs a person who plays on a PlayStation, this controller feels so natural, and the fact it has the back pattles, reprogrammable buttons, macros, and much more useful features for less than an official pro controller, I honestly this this a must have for any switch owner!

> 3 dayBetter material, better design, more intuitive, better suited for BOTW, better construction, and compatible with anything. This controller is a masterpiece, while the pro (nintendo) controller has issues in all of the categories listed above. Most notably wobbly hand grips that are not one piece in frame but the third, and a garbage D-pad that would make Ken and Ryu go home and be a Family Man, along with clunky buttons.

> 3 dayThis is the first product I have ever purchased from this manufacturer. I wanted to use the controller primarily for my Nintendo switch, I wanted something unique and that is what I got. The quality of this product surpasses most first party controllers I have ever used. This controller destroys the stock joy cons in quality and the feel is so sturdy and premium. the purple controller I obtained was so beautiful, the material is very smooth and there are no rough edges or corners. the controller charged quickly, and the battery lasts long as advertised. The rumble does work for the Nintendo switch. No input lag I can discern. My controller did come with the thumb stick covers in packaging. love them too.

> 3 dayFor the Switch when playing solo I love using this controller instead of my Switch Pro controller(I never use Joy-cons while docked, except SM Odyssey) for games like Pokemon/DQ11 that are more menu based due to the position of the D-Pad. Other than that its an extremely well priced and solid controller if you need more for extra people with multiplayer games. It definitely has a very similar feel to the PS4 controller, but luckily far better battery life and USB-C vs Micro(one of my main gripes with the PS4 controller) On the PC it has been fantastic as well, Iove using it to play SNES games (That I do own) that have been modded with some difficulty, translation tweaks etc. But it works great for any game thanks to the software that comes with it that allows you remap buttons for using on the Switch and on PC separately, and many other options. Has worked well for any Stream game Ive tried. The fact that it doesnt have NFC doesnt bother me at all. The one game I might use the NFC often (BoTW) I prefer the Pro controller, but its not like you couldnt undock it, spam your amiibos, then go right back to using the SN30 Pro+. Would it be nice if I could turn on the Switch with the controller? Sure, but personally lifting a corner of the Switch out of the dock and back in really isnt too much a hassle. My only small issue is that the + and - (start and select) are a little out of the way. Side note about syncing, It is very important to follow the initial syncing instructions for the specific device you are syncing to (particularly being aware of the button combo that is different for every device type). Once I correctly synced the controller I have not had an issue with just pressing start to reconnect the controller. Note that you will have to resync to the Switch, after Syncing to your PC and vice versa(at least with Bluetooth) just like with the PS4 controller. The bottom line is that this controller is a fantastic Switch controller alone with the same build quality as an official Nintendo Pro Controller at a cheaper price. If you want something for Switch and PC, the value increases. If you want something for Switch, PC, Android, and Raspberry Pi...you get the point. I would also recommend watching the many youtube reviews that go into great detail about controller.

> 3 dayI hate to do something like this, but I simply cant avoid it. I ~LOVE~ this controller. LOVE it. It is the single most comfortable controller I have ever used in over 30 years of gaming. Sadly, it just simply doesnt hold up. This is my second one of these controllers. Here is my review of the first. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2E3CMH8KPNG4R/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07TDTXHJP Just like the first one, this one developed a nasty issue that directly affects gameplay. Where as the first one would register a button press twice, this one has a problem with the left stick. It will randomly stop reading that Im holding the stick forward, which is a major problem for a game like Destiny that is literally built around your characters mobility. Im sorry 8Bitodo, but I cant keep doing this. It doesnt matter if it is indeed the most comfortable controller Ive ever held if the things keep dying on me within months after purchase. The first one lasted about 8 months. This one barely made it 4. Hate to say it, but it looks like Im back on the hunt for a new controller that will actually last.
