Excellent value for money
Best controller you can get for $20! I had high hopes for this and was not disappointed, although I almost was. At first it wouldn't connect or go into discovery mode, but that was because the battery was completely dead. Also when connecting for the first time, you need to connect it physically to the dock. I almost couldn't figure it out, so hopefully this helps someone. Once paired, it works very well. The vibration is a bit strong even with only one vibrator, but it's not too bad. It feels exactly like I expected it to, very similar in quality to their controllers from the 90s and 00s. Perfect for a guest controller, which is what I wanted it for. The red is very nice, feels very Nintendo. The LED lights are white which I'm not a fan of but it's not a big deal. All the controls feel nice and definite. Some of the buttons even feel more responsive than my joycons. I would highly recommend this controller to anyone that just wants a second controller without shelling out for the pro controller. Extra points for the cable being very long.

Loses connection
The purple is awesome. We received on Thursday December 27, 2018. It worked great for 2 days. Now it loses connection and will not stay connected. It is fully charged and still same issues. Waste of $30.

Sturdy Frugal Controller
Overall, this product is sturdy, has a decent battery and controls, and doesn't have any lag. The different turbo options, either hold for turbo or continuous turbo, and extremely useful and can be applied to almost any button on the controller. It does take a decent amount of effort to remember how to set the modes, since they are mapped to the same turbo button and are differentiated by how many time you press that button. But I do very much enjoy that if you are a budget or space-conscious gamer, this same controller can also be paired with a computer or phone. One controller for all budget systems is really nice. I do not use an official charging cradle for a pro controller, but my unofficial cradle does fit this controller in the pro controller's slot just fine. My only complaint would be the pairing. For whatever reason, and this just might be my unit, once it has sat for a few minutes and turned itself off, I lose all pairing and have to re-pair it using the usb cable. This isn't a massive hassle to me, and it doesn't need to stay on the cable, just a quick plug in, but it is a tad annoying to go grab something to eat or use the bathroom and come back to having to re-pair my controller. This might be an issue for people playing on the Switch Lite, as that console is handheld mode only and might be a bit trickier to pair. But, in the end, I eagerly look forward to the mini version that will be releasing soon. This controller is good, and has a lower price and more features than the pro controller. It is just a bit finicky.

Rumble is Awful! Quality is Decent.
If you enjoy the HD rumble of the pro controller, this is not a good replacement. Luckily, I use this for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate and turn rumble off. Otherwise, this is a pretty sturdy controller. No other complaints.

Works great
Full disclosure, I don't own a pro controller. I have the Joy Cons, I have a corded pro-type controller (terrible choice), a generic black Pro Controller alternative (awesome), and this Nyko. This controller has good feel in the hands and has all the features of the Pro Controller except for Amiibo support. It has wireless, rumble, and motion control, and they all work well. My only gripe is the button placement for the secondary buttons. The + and - buttons are a little too high, and the screenshot button is too close so I often hit the screenshot button when I mean to hit the +. And the ABXY buttons could be a smidge larger. Also I don't see much use for the turbo button. Overall though it's a great controller that feels well made and works great.

GREAT pro controller clone, cheaper and lighter!
Overall very great! The price is amazing. This controller is just about identical to the Nintendo pro controller! It’s much lighter than the pro controller. The extra turbo button is a nice addition. The abxy buttons are nice but feel like deep presses. The - + screenshot home and turbo buttons are raised more than the pro controller but still feels good. The joysticks roll smooth but feel kinda clunky full tilt, while the thumb grips feel better than the pro controller! The joysticks are very springy while tilting and snappy when releasing. I feel like it makes fine tilting difficult but doable, a big difference in feeling from the pro controller and can take some time to adapt. Joystick clicking is more clicky than the pro controller but feels good. ZL and ZR feel less clicky and more springy than the pro controller but still great. L and R feel just a bit more springy but nearly identical. The dpad is the biggest downfall, the dpad buttons feel too soft, very little click and very much squish. Hard to tell if the button is being pressed sometimes. Not a bad dpad but not good either. This controller has rumble, gyro motion controls, and rechargeable battery via usb c! Does not have nfc functionality for amiibos but that’s okay! The controller automatically turns off after some time, and can also be manually turned off. The rumble is stronger and more significant than the pro controller, but I don’t think it’s comparable to Nintendo’s HD rumble feature. I don’t play with motion controls on any controller to have any input on how it feels and compares. After a bit of charging from the box right away, the controller synced easily! The turbo and auto fire functions work great and on multiple buttons, with about three different programmable speed rates. Battery fully charged quick and has been lasting long, not sure if the battery level display on the switch console controller icon will show an accurate charge yet or just always show the battery at full charge. This controller does NOT turn the switch on wirelessly but will turn off automatically when it puts the switch into sleep mode. In game, all buttons and sticks work as expected like the pro controller. The sticks may be a bit clunky full tilt and the very springy feeling make fine tilting a bit hard. But overall this controller plays the same as the pro controller. Overall this controller is AWESOME!! Great price for a pro controller clone! The difference in weight would be a giveaway but in a blindfold test these feel identical to pro controllers!

Wasn’t sure how good this would be but my son picked it to go with his switch. It’s great and wireless and so easy to set up. The charge lasts for ages too and it’s good quality.
