Review on 2021 New Wireless Switch Controller for Console Pro Gamepad with Joystick - Non-Slip Ergonomic Design (Black) by Pat Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheaper and more durable than regular Nintendo controller

I love this controller! I'll start by saying that I've owned a Nintendo Pro Controller for 2 years now. It's very comfortable, strong vibration and quiet keys. But it started to drift shortly after the original 90-day warranty expired. I would disassemble and clean it to last a week or two. I contacted Nintendo and they charged $45 for repairs and only gave me a 90 day warranty (which is correct once it starts falling apart). As a result, the convenience of the Nintendo controller takes a back seat, making almost every game unplayable. C'mon Nintendo this controller is less than half the price and after 2 very hard months of use it hasn't had any drift (I'll update this review if it fails and even give you a time frame). It doesn't have the same vibration variation as the Nintendo, but I rarely notice it. The keys also tend to be a bit louder, which doesn't really bother me. The battery lasts a long time and charges very quickly. It included a charger, manual and great customer service. Overall this controller was a pleasant surprise, so much so that I never write reviews, but I found it worth sharing.
