When you spend a lot of time gaming, you tend to get pretty picky about controllers, but this one has honestly won me over.
Right out of the box, the build quality of the case stands out. The shell feels incredibly robust—nothing creaks, and it doesn't have that cheap plastic feel. It has a nice, comfortable weight to it and sits perfectly in the hands, even during longer sessions.
When it comes to actual gameplay, the hardware really shines. The absolute highlight for me is the inclusion of Hall-effect sticks. The precision is excellent, and the best part is the peace of mind that comes with knowing stick drift won't be an issue down the line. The D-pad and the tactile response of the buttons are also exactly where they need to be: crisp, precise, and offering clean feedback without feeling mushy.
Another great quality-of-life feature is the remappable macro buttons on the back. They are easy to configure, sit right where your fingers naturally rest, and add genuine value during gameplay when you need quick access to specific inputs or combos.
There is one minor drawback I should mention, though: the battery life takes a slight hit, dropping by an estimated 1 to 5%. To put that into perspective, if you are planning a continuous session of about 180 minutes, you can expect the controller to run out of juice up to 10 minutes earlier than you might usually anticipate.
It’s definitely not a dealbreaker for me, but it is something to keep in mind. If you can live with that small trade-off on the battery side, you're getting a well-thought-out, excellently built controller that ticks pretty much every other box. I can absolutely recommend it.
The 52€ i've paid for, it was totally worth, i will buy a second one for my wife and put the real joycons for safety in the shelf.
