Nice sturdy switch controller.
Update review: C/S reached out to me and wanted to send a replacement controller. I accepted it and the day after it showed up I had to drive across the country for about a week. I took my switch and the new controller and off I went.I didn't have a lot of time to use my switch, mostly at night when crashing on the road or at the hotel. It works really well and doesn't need any calibration, just drop the switch in and start gaming.There's only two non-issues; using a standard 5v charger won't keep the switch fully charged while gaming and when the switch is powered on already in the controller it will need to be lifted off the connector and reconnected. Not really issues, but worth noting.Original review: I just bought a switch OLED and got some controllers for it that were more like an Xbox style layout and they’re great, but left something to be desired as far as sturdiness.Please reconnect controller.So I started shopping around, mostly looking for a case, and saw this controller and thought it could be exactly what I need.Please reconnect controller.I got it and the case today and they seem great.Please reconnect controller.So I installed the switch into the controller and it’s a nice snug fit.Please reconnect controller.I went into the system settings for the switch and turned the setting on to allow a wired controller.Please reconnect controller.I checked the calibration of the thumb stick and the left stick was slightly off, so I recalibrated it.Please reconnect controller.I started up Diablo 2 and the left stick is off center after disconnecting, which happens a lot. A lot.Please reconnect controller.So I recalibrate the left stick again and no problem, it works fine.Please reconnect controller.The biggest issue is one I’ve made very obvious in this review; it disconnects constantly. I didn’t see it mentioned in any other reviews, so I’m hoping this is just a dud; it happens. In the 30 minutes I’ve been using this controller it’s disconnected at least a dozen times and is almost unusable.I’m conclusion, I like it but the one I have has some serious issues. It feels good in my hands and it’s nice and sturdy, which is what I was looking for. I hope the seller will replace the one I have so I can give it another go.I cannot in good faith leave a better review based on my personal experience with this controller.

Comfortable
This thing is pretty dope, I use it all the time. Fits comfortably in my hands without all that cramping you get from regular joy cons. The vibration is pretty intense but once I got used to it I began to appreciate it. There's a few interchangeable joy sticks to mix and match until you find one that you feel gives you the control you like. There's 4 buttons in the back which you can map out to make use of although I'll never do that I just like to push them for no reason,. They're unnoticeable most of the time. The shell overall has a nice grip on the switch so you'll never worry about your system sliding out unintentionally. I haven't experienced any loss of control so far and I've been using this for almost a year. It's bulky to travel with but I like having it around the house for when I'm not wanting to use the TV. There's no added battery pack if you're wondering but I don't care personally.

personally, the best switch grip with a couple of caveats.
I was looking for a switch grip that didn't sacrifice features like rumble. A separate knockoff brand version of the switch pad pro was OK, but I was starting to deal with connection problems sliding it in and out all the time. This grip does a good job of giving you the stuff you don't get with the others, but it's not perfect. Specifically, the D-pad is almost useless. It's slippery and incredibly stiff. I'm sure it will get you by in a pinch, but I don't both with it. The second issue is the red thumb pads. For some strange reason the system is designed so that only the blue thumb pads will fit on the left side and the red thumb pads will only fit on the right side. The red thumb pads are all a slick hard plastic that has a natural repellent to the human thumb. All three are worthless. This wouldn't be an issue if you could use a blue one, which is just fine, on the right side, but they force you to use a red one. I had to buy a thumb pad cover just to use it. This is them cheaping out and punishing you for it. Otherwise, this is a great product.

Very happy
I would like to thank the people that made this amazing product, I'm surprised it's not talked about more. It feels amazing in my hands. Very solid the controls and buttons are responsive and it fits super snug on my switch oled. I really appreciate that they send extenders if I want to use my original switch on it. The Lz Zr buttons feel very nice and not clicky at all. They have the right amount of resistance and smoothness when you click them. I appreciate that you can charge the device without having to remove the switch and it also has extra buttons in the back if you wana map them. If you have big hands like I do, you will definitely be happy with this product. It's just right and playing games with it has felt much different in the good way. It adds plenty of size to the switch and it feels bigger. Comfortable to hold.. I would almost Compare this to holding an Xbox control if you want an idea. Don't hesitate to buy this. I didn't think I would be into this as much as I am. Thank you Nexigo. You've got a new and happy customer.

Don't buy unless you plan on using it short term!
I noticed how clunky it was when I had first received it. The grip is incredibly slippery so I bought some grip stickers to add to it, without them it would slowly slip out of my hands. The joysticks became unaligned very early on as well. I continued using it despite these issues. About a month ago I started noticing the buttons weren't being acknowledged correctly. Moving the right joystick became the new "A" button. My right bumped became my "B" button. Needless to say I can no longer use this item and have to accept that it was a very poor decision to buy.

Good fit for larger hands
Being a larger than average dude the original joycons put stress on my sasquatch hands. This is larger, comfortable, and so far works great. Just be aware that pairing it to your switch isn't like pairing a controller, there is an option in the settings on the Switch to pair these types of devices. I would by again if a 2nd switch was in the house. No issues at all.

Charming and Useful!
I’m a bit of a NS buff. Actually I’m probably the systems biggest fan in the world, I’m it’s biggest nerd and just into the dang thing. (When I say fan I mean fan. Not “fanboy” or even worse the dreaded “fanboi” as I use all consoles, brands, etc. Because of this unarguable fact I can be counted as a kingmaker, a towering influencer (in the older sense of the word not this modern internet parlance, ie those who want to get paid for promoting things slyly. Can’t stand those people).I bought this whilst on the look out for something to make my OLED Switch more comfortable to use. I prefer handheld/tabletop mode for single player usage but the dang joycons aren’t too comfy when fixed in place (though divine when separated) and the weight of the thing makes the Vita (the original OLED one of which I have some due to career reasons and collectionist sake) seem bearable in comparison.I bought this and I use it often. Not always as I spend most my time with the Switch in a tablet stand so technically its “tabletop”.It’s comfortable to hold. I didn’t investigate too much when I bought it so didn’t realise it came with extra analogue stick protrusions of different sizes: excellent customisation. The back paddles? HUZZAH! Never before have I used such a thing. Tremendous! I hope they become a big thing. The rumble is okay; for me it’s great as it feels like an off-centre rotating weight so delivers a retro vibe (pun most certainly intentionally added!). The Dpad is a joy to use. The back fuzzy panel makes the Switch feel cozy snuggled in there. The buttons are rather simple, just normal buttons, nothing to write to home about.I put effort into this review because of one simple reason. When the box arrived and I feverishly tore it apart. I read the manual. I wanted to know how the back panels worked. The manual has an almost poetic, romantic origin tale of the device and company involved. It was nice and certainly touched my heart. It felt like a properly researched, designed device to fulfil a niche in this consoles market. It’s important. It felt genuine unlike the generic terrible clone products you see on this site from China. (I’m not racist btw. My first true love is from China and she broke my heart but in a nice way, as in I don’t hate her like some people weirdly seem to do. For a time after we split I hoped we’d reconnect but never did. A toast to first loves eh! But their gov much like ours and Americas is terrible. Theirs more so as it’s sooooo authoritarian. (I wish Japan wasn’t so hardcore conservative. They hated me so much when I visited and my friend who lives there struggled for years to find a place he was allowed to buy, even renting is a mess for a foreigner. No clue why internet e-People seem to love Japan so much. Why is no country perfect eh. Save for Canada and New Zealand))Anyways just buy this dang thing.(All in all this took me about 45 mins to write up on a dang telephone. They call this a “Max” and/or “pro” telephone yet the keyboard is tiny and near useless. I should really just use one of the Blueteeth keyboards lying around any one of the studies! It’s worth it because the Grip is worth it.)PLEASE FIND ATTACHED a photo of the grip. I’ve included a mini figure my sister made for me for my birthday. But since you might not know the scale of that as it’s a one-off item, I’ve included some random assortments of devices I have to hand - literally I just leaned over. I’ve included my Gameboy Micro - if you’re surprised by the colouring of the device just bear in mind it’s some anniversary edition I dunno I just like how shiny it looks and feels in the hand! I’ve included my PSP-Go with the lower control compartment exposed. There’s my PS Vita original OLED one as the LCD one is pants compared! It really is. It has a 64gb proprietary card inside of it which is so tiny but they never made bigger ones. Shame! Especially when both my Switches - the special dark Lite model and OLED - have 1tb each in them. Then there’s the most common one perhaps: the Switch Lite. It’s darker than standard as it has dark buttons, a gun metal sheen (though god in heaven knows what a gun looks like in real life. It’s England honey! One school shooting and handguns are more or less BANNED minus super strict registration. Personally I have a recurve bow and arrow as I’m an archery coach. I’m a cool guy init you really should get to know me x) (but yeah that’s the pic. If I reached the other way I could have whipped out a Gameboy classic but I have a feeling too many people in this era haven’t held a Gameboy in decades. Poor fools. There’s like 4 games on that platform that are some of the best ever, and best experienced on original hardware… with a backlight added. I do that too! It’s a fun hobby tinkering with Gameboys. Bye)That’s a BYE from me and a BUY for this item please. I’m wasting time now. When I said 45 mins it’s now been an hour or so fiddling around with PERMISSIONS.Good bye and maybe I’ll see you in another item to review ^__^

Funziona molto bene.
A mio figlio piace molto, veloce ed intuitivo, unico neo è che per switch serve inserire degli spessori forniti con il controller
