Great value for money, one of the best offers.

One of the greatest gamepads there is: truly, I've been using it for more than 5 years, it has fantastic compatibility with all games, a reasonable price, a long life of service, my sticks don't even drift, I've played a lot of games and there aren't even any stuck, everything works well! In less than a year, the joycons have already started to drift the left stick, which is a significant improvement compared to the Nintendo Switch. This is the best choice for you if you are shopping on a tight budget but still want a gamepad. I want to point out that the heads of the sticks were a bit worn out (they became smoother), and that the ABXY keys (particularly B) were partially rubbed; nonetheless, this simply impacts the tactile sensations of the controller at most.

Pros

Excellent gaming pad! a cable that is sufficiently lengthy and features a unique connector that enables the user to quickly detach the cable from the computer without causing any damage to the port or the device. There were no compatibility issues anywhere, despite the fact that I played several dozens of games on it. Defined by the fact that all devices, including Mac OS, are capable of being connected by means of a driver. Additionally, it has a simple connection to the Nintendo Switch (via an adapter if you are using the standard firmware). The gamepad performs just as advertised. Vibro is enjoyable and of high quality. The position of the keys and sticks is excellent, and the overall layout is quite convenient. Sticks, by the way, have been operating faultlessly for the past five years without causing any issues or drift whatsoever! Additionally, shifts and triggers are very effective. ABXY - do not stick, do not sink! In my opinion, the D-pad is the most comfortable gamepad available, making it even more appealing to use than Microsoft's Xbox One controller. It goes without saying that the design is fantastic. It rests extremely lightly and softly in the hands, and it doesn't weigh that much. The locations of each of the components are situated quite near to one another.

Cons

Over the course of five years, a couple of the ABXY keys started to make a little noise and sometimes worked in a way that wasn't fully clear, but this was in no way an urgent issue. There will be instances when you desire a wireless connection, but there is a different model available for this.
