Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pocket miracle!

I have experienced joycon drift like everyone else during this challenging time of the year. Everything about this remote was so mesmerizing that I just had to buy it for myself! For the record, I know this controller gets a lot of criticism for parking reasons, but I'm here to tell you guys that defective third-party models from the company are extremely rare! - This remote is wireless, offers 18 hours of battery life on a single full charge, seems almost indestructible(?), connects to both current models of the Switch family and the Raspberry Pi, and fits easily in a medium/large sized switch. Carry bag! - The controller is pretty cheap, unlike the official Nintendo Wireless Controller ($62 at Revain, where prices are slightly discounted) - This remote control is actually immune to drift. Neither Dpad nor Dpad has any technology that could backfire. The photos I took of my hand, switch and controller are for size comparison. I'll tell you personally: it's pretty convenient! - The remote control works perfectly for indie games like Celeste, Pitfall Planet and Hollow Knight. and Pokemon Sword/Shield than any joystick remote. - Fighting games may vary. In a game like one of the King of Fighters games on the web store where the dpad has been used in non open world shooter NEOGEO games like Breath of the Wild and The Witcher 3, it feels like the "camera joystick " uncomfortable. will be replaced by Dpad, but it can grow to you. Also games with more than 8 input directions like Smite and Overwatch feel weird when navigating. Shooters like Splatoon 2 and Fortnite suffer the most from this remote as you actually lose the ability to choose your swing (forced to run into open maps: draining your stamina, etc.). Also, the L2/R2 buttons are swapped with the L1/R1 buttons on the back! I'll admit that pressing R2 on this remote is a bit unnerving, but bearable since most of the games I play don't require this button. L3 and R3 are in the center of each dpad, but they are VERY hard to press! If you use them constantly in open world games, this is not your choice! Ultimately, the pros far outweigh the cons. If you have a younger brother or sister or a child to play with you, this is basically a child's first professional controller. Without the stress of rotating the camera or using the L3/R3 buttons, this kid-safe pro controller slips into JEAN's front pocket and takes with you wherever you go. Play comfortably and almost never die! Besides, who can argue with that price?

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Reliability
