That means that you won't be able to use amiibo with this controller or feel the haptic feedback you'd experience using regular Joy-Cons or the Pro Controller. Long battery life Lasts for a long timeĭespite being somewhat pricey, this controller doesn't feature rumble or NFC functionality. I think this is specifically meant for switching out with another backplate that features different-shaped back buttons, but it's also great for anyone who doesn't want to deal with the extra, backside buttons in the first place. There's a sliding switch on the backside of the controller that allows you to pop the back plate off. If you don't particularly like having those button on the back, you can actually remove them. What I like about these buttons is that they're super simple to program to the commands you want and they are designed to be less intrusive than others I've used. They press down with a satisfying, soft click and feel pretty similar to a Pro Controller's triggers.įor all of you competitive players, there are mappable buttons on the backside. On top of that, the trigger buttons feel amazing. Something I love about this accessory is that the joysticks have some texture in the center and raised rings on the tips, making this controller feel more responsive than my other ones.
Additionally, the casing is clear and makes this a great controller for anyone who likes seeing all the wiring and microships that make these accessories tick. The colors are bright and look really good whenever I glance down during a gaming session. What's more, changing the color option is seamless, so you can easily change colors while in the middle of your game. This controller transitions beautifully from one color to the next while in this mode. If you'd prefer to play with all of the colors of the rainbow, you simply hold the function button and then press the L or R button. This controller offers several different hues within the same color. If you want a bright blue or more of a turquoise blue, all you have to do is press the function button (located below the right controller) and then press the left or right buttons on the D-pad to shift up or down a shade with each press. I was really happy to find that this controller offers several different hues within the same color. Several colors and hues Play with all the colors
