Title: good controller except no amiibo reader
Review: Just to compare, i do have a nintendo pro controller which works great, i use that with my oled switch, but since i have already installed most of my games on my original switch, i bought this controller for that. What i did was buy a generic black pro controller clone, but not sure if it's the internal battery, but after it pairs, only about 30 minutes playing and it loses it's connection which i think is because the battery is starting to lose it's strength. This controller is a licensed product, so you can tell when you get it that the quality looks great. This clear one especially looks good with the adjustable led lights/colors ;or just leave it to fade in and out of different colors. It is pretty bright, but i dont mind it at all. At th;e USB plug, there is a button that lets you pair easily. Once the controller is registered to the switch, it usually can connect with just alternating pressing the top right and top left trigger ;buttons like you would with a normal pro controller. Home button and +- works the same and the joysticks feel good and did not drift or anything weird like maybe some cheaper controllers ;might do. There is a sequence you can do to recalibrate all the controls so that's pretty good if it ever does drift. It comes with a normal USB rectangular end plug to usb-c for the controller side. Th4 instructions inside only has a QR code to look up the instructions but you dont really need them as you just need to put your switch on that page which shows paired controllers and press that pairing button, then press the l/r buttons to pair. You can tell when the controller is paired as the leds come on when it's paired and stays dark if not. Anyways, it's a solid controller for slightly lmore then half the price of a real pro controller, totally worth it. If i run into qny trouble will post here but so far it's been a great controller.Update: i ran into one problem lol, it doesn't read NFC, so no amiibo's for like totk or echoes of wisdom, too bad, or this would be a perfect controller.

Title: Better than the Official Nintendo Pro Controller
Review: I bought my switch in 2020 and bought this controller in 2021 after the official pro controller I bought with the system started drifting (for those who donât know what that is, basically the controller's joystick was no longer responding accurately to my input). Although the top 4 small bottoms are differently mapped than they are on the official pro controller (the home and the â+â button are switched, and the screenshot and the â-â button are switched), this controller is MUCH more comfortable the official Pro controller. After 30 minutes of playing a game like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, my fingers start to hurt and get frictions burns with the official controller, but this controller has a softer, less bulky feel to it that gives me no discomfort even when playing more âphysically demandingâ games like Xenoverse for hours. I mainly bought this controller for Fortnite for the extra map able buttons on the back (thereâs 2), and has significantly better gyro functionality than the official controller. And considering Iâve bought two other Amazon controllers for their LED capabilities (which were absolute garbage), I can happily say that compared to other LES switch controllers out there that this one is actually FUNCTIONAL and looks amazing when playing. Thereâs a bit of learning curve for getting used to mapping new buttons, but changing the colors on the controller is easy. The battery life on this thing is also amazing, Itâs never died on me and I only really charge it when I remember to like every week. Considering this is about $25 cheaper than the official pro controller, and I havenât experienced any drift in the two years I had it (I bought a second controller since my older one started making an annoying clicking sound that wouldnât budge even with WD40), this was soooo worth it. Definitely got all the value for my bucks!

Title: Really cool controller!
Review: This controller reminded me of all the "clear electronics" of the 90's, even the clear N64 controllers! I like the aesthetic, and love that it glows different colors. I have to have a controller that glows! It's a really good quality controller! It was nice that it came with a charging cable, I only wish it charged with a USB-C which is much easier to find in my house

Title: A reliable option.
Review: I've had the controller for a while now and bit the bullet on getting a second one only recently.The first controller I got is great and works really well. The button mapping and color choice work great and I can customize it easy. Personally, I have the back buttons not mapped and the LED lights off to keep it simple. The buttons feel nice to press and the shell of the the controller feels smooth and cool to hold. While the control stick does work as expected, it's not immune to the infamous stick drift. My first controller does occasionally drift to the left, but it's usually not noticeable, is infrequent, and doesn't move enough to select something else in game at this time. The website manual does offer a solution for drift, it looks like.Generally, it's a great controller to have if you don't need rumble or Amiibo support. In my experience, it's been reliable for everytime I've needed it. It can handle intense gaming sessions well enough like with friends and family during a session of Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.If I had to nitpick the negatives of the controller, it's the quality assurance. There were many negative reviews when I got this controller make over a year ago and I still got the controller as a blind purchase. I lucked out one the first one as it virtually has none of the mentioned problems aside from the ministick drift, and I've got the same expectations for the second controller. The second controller's LEDs, however, flicker while the LEDs are supposed to be set to off. I hope it's not a tell tale sign. The controller still works as intended, thankfully.I really do like the controller and it seems to fare well! I hope I'm able to use these controllers for a long time and they don't give out too soon.

Review: This controller feels and looks really nice and super good quality! I definitely prefer this to the nintendo pro controller, only bought because my joycons stopped working as a cheaper alternative. Only complaint is the angling of the LEDs can be distracting and the charger port could be updated to be usb c rather than micro usb

Review: Ich bin absolut begeistert von meinem neuen "Afterglow LED drahtlos Deluxe Gaming Controller", lizenziert durch Nintendo für die Switch! Seit ich ihn habe, ist das Spielerlebnis auf ein neues Level gehoben. Die LED-Beleuchtung ist nicht nur ein echter Hingucker, sondern schafft auch eine super Atmosphäre beim Zocken im Dunkeln. Die Verarbeitung ist top und die Tasten fühlen sich einfach klasse an.Ein kleines Detail, das ich besonders liebe, ist, wie genau die Steuerung reagiert â es macht jede Bewegung präzise und flieÃend. Die Akkulaufzeit ist auch beeindruckend; ich kann stundenlang spielen, ohne an das Aufladen denken zu müssen. Ein must-have für alle, die ihre Gaming-Ausstattung ernst nehmen!Fünf Sterne von mir und eine klare Empfehlung für jeden Switch-Liebhaber da drauÃen!
