Counterfeit Nintendo Switch Controller Sold as Authentic

Wonderful - works great

This controller was a birthday gift for my grandson. It was exactly what he asked for. And the Walmart price was the cheapest I found. Good value!

It was fake

I bought this controller to play the switch with my daughter and have had it about 2 weeks and it’s already messing up mid game. It just stops jumping or starts moving on is own. I have no idea what it wrong with it but for this price it should work correctly.

[Employee of walmartcanada] Price is a bit high compared to other controllers, but at least you know where it's going with the NFC Amiibo support and incredible battery that won't let you down after days of gaming . Feels great in the hands and the d pad is great over the joycon option. I'd recommend it for sure.

THIS IS A FAKE CONTROLLER. All the signs are there. Wild connectivity / lag issues, funky packaging with a matte finish, clunky mechanical-feel buttons, inability to update the controller, just get stuck at 0% forever. Definitely a fake, didn't think it could happen to me. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER.

This controller is the most comfortable controller I have ever used. It just feels really good in the hands. The controller is amazing for 3D games such as Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, or Mario Kart. However, the major flaw is the Dpad placement. The dpad itself is fine, but the position of it is terrible. If you play many 2D games, I'd recommend the 8bitdo SN30 pro (plus). The pro is usually great for 2d games but if you want grips go for the plus. It's also much cheaper than the official Pro Controller, at $45 for the pro and 50 for the pro plus.

Both of the controllers I bought were fake. When held next to a real Pro Controller it’s pretty easy to spot. Poor quality, is lighter, the button feel very loose. Even the packaging has the word “Controll er” misspelled y having a space at the end of the work. Don’t be fooled. Returning these. Wet disappointed with Walmart.

I purchased this controller because I wanted to play smash without holding back. I worried about the price for weeks. But I gave in once my GameCube controller died. I've played smash with just about every controller and this one lines up with the GameCube controller in terms of comfort and ease of use. As a melee player I still prefer the GameCube layout slightly, but this is a much better controller. It's firm and the weight is perfect. I've had zero issues with the drift and I can do everything perfectly. If you only own the in-box joy cons, and need a real controller for fast-paced gaming, I suggest you spend theoney and upgrade to the pro controller.
