My kid uses it to play SmashBros and he's very satisfied with the controller so far.
The 'English' manual is a bit of a Chinese puzzle though.
It took some while to figure out how to use the additional features.

Depends what you are looking for because there are plenty wired controllers for $25. And if you do find wireless and it doesn't rumble there is no point of getting it you might as well stick to wired.

I bought a budget pro controller from amazon for $18 it does say that it support rumble. I'll find out later on today if it works or not.

I suspect there's some patent or even bios bullshit that is stopping "legit" 3rd parties from either waking the switch or attaching anything in the joycon slots. You only see licensed products doing those. Products for the Chinese market don't really care about IP law though and are happy to oblige, and Amazon is happy to import.

Buy this because it works you can get it for $17 just tried it out and it works wireless and vibrate. And yes it wakes the switch from sleep mode....

A real pro controller doesn't even do that unless I'm doing it wrong. My Power A Controller and this one wakes the switch from sleep but the pro controller doesn't

Just for reference Power A Controllers doesn't vibrate but this one do so this is the best thing you will get for a budget switch controller.

How does it compare to the 8bitdo Pro2? I know it's a different price range but still. It already has one feature that the more expensive Pro2 lacks: Waking the Switch from sleep.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
