★★★★☆
Very comfy, difficult to deal with.
This controller is basically a poor mans joycon. If you do not have the money to buy a regular joycon then you buy these.
Starting off they are really easy on the hands especially if you have bigger hands. They are pretty cool looking too
Starting drifting day 1. What's worse is that they'll drift randomly.
The range on these SUCKS. I play my switch on my bed mainly and when I have one joycon disconnected and at most 3 feet away from the console, the imputs gets lost
It is INCREDIBLY difficult undock joycons. A chore is an understatment. It is a full on dedicated task to pull the joycon off.
They die waaaay to quickly and even when charging with the provided cable battery life varied from 1 hour on a full charge to almost 5 hours.
They randomly disconnect even while playing in handheld mode.
The vibrate isn't the HD rumble that rolls though the joycon. It's way more louder and random. It could pobably break glass
If you are like 30 dollars short of a real joycon and can wait don't buy these. If you're looking for a gift for someone and you like the color scheme of these buy stickers or learn to replace a joycon shell.
UPDATE September 12th 2020
I contacted the manufacturer about a replacement and I'm not sure if they've updated their design but the controller is a bit easier to pull off, possible with one hand if dedicated and the battery life lasted well into the 11 hour mark. The range and vibration is more or less the same.
