As someone who normally prefers to play on a switch connected to a pro controller, I decided to give this product a try when I can't am on the TV and it works the same way. what it promises: run the pro controller in handheld mode. This controller works and feels great, and as a Pokemon fan, I really like the adorable design of Pikachu and Eevee. It's very quick and easy to set up and fits even when the console is docked. It lacks some of the features that the regular pro controller has, but I knew about it before I bought it, so I'm perfectly happy with it. If joysticks don't suit you and/or you prefer a more traditional controller then I highly recommend this!
