We love these controllers! Personally I have always been a bit skeptical of controllers from other manufacturers but they are excellent quality and they have lasted longer than the ones that came with my sons without having to recalibrate them! I was a bit confused about how to use them horizontally, but all you have to do is go to "Change Controller", press the tiny black power button at the top until it blinks, and then the R and L buttons. I wish we could try them before I buy more original switch controllers because I really believe they have the best quality and work best. 👍
