Buy this controller now

I bought this controller for my Nintendo Switch and now it's my favorite controller for it. I tried 2 official Nintendo Pro controllers, both of which were overpriced ($70 each). Both quickly ran into the dreaded problem of drifting. The quality of this controller is immediately visible unlike the junk switch pro controller. The controller feels good in the hand, as do the buttons. But the most important thing is that analogues also act in a high-quality manner and without dead zones. Even the D-Pad is great. And it doesn't feel like a little kid's toy in your hands, like a Nintendo Pro controller. Just arranged so that the hands are comfortable and do not tire quickly. I'm shocked at how good this controller is, especially for $50. As for some points that 2 other reviewers have indicated. No, this controller has no quality issues if the left side of the controller clamshell is slightly different from the right side. That's absolutely not true. It's perfectly aligned in all corners, including the case. And then another reviewer claims that this controller's buttons are difficult to connect and program with the app. Again, this is simply not true. I don't know what phone he has or what app he uses for it, but mine connects and reconnects on the fly with no trouble programming it with the app. And the application is very easy to use and understand immediately. Instructions are not required. As for the controller color, I suggest gray like mine because the buttons are labeled (personal preference of course). Can't speak to use on other devices but for the Switch it's an amazing controller to have. Sell or throw away your pro controller right away and buy this gem and don't look back. There's no point playing with an overpriced, inferior Nintendo Pro controller (which will fail quickly anyway) when this diamond has finally arrived to save your misery (and the weight of your wallets). And then they add additional downloadable features like turbo that can be used on other platforms as well. Yes, definitely buy 1 or 2 of these as soon as they are in stock. I can definitely understand why they're sold out because they're great. I'm glad I pre-ordered.
