    I recently bought this controller out of nostalgia originally. I used to use the wired afterglow controllers for my Xbox 360. And I knew I used to love those so when I saw this one at GameStop here in 2023 I went ahead and picked it up. Once I got it paired, it is awesome. The controller itself is very responsive. I love the colors of the lights. Absolutely awesome. Back in the day if you want a different color afterglow, you’d have to buy a different controllers. This one allows you to choose the color you want. Which I find awesome.thanks for the video. It was quite helpful.

      I love them so much I have two lol. Reminds me of the see through n64 controller days. The battery lasts much longer for me then the joy con's! I think if you set it to do multiple colors it kills the battery faster

    This controller is a MUST BUY. Imo better than original one. It's licensed by nintendo. REALLY customizable. If you don't like rgb, you can disable them temporary. If you don't like the back buttons, you can disable them temporary. You can change brightness. Usb-c charging cable. What is there not to like about this thing? ONLY cons about this is there is no NFC and rumble. THAT'S IT. Which I don't use amiibos nor rumble so it doesn't matter. 10/10
