9to5Toys’ Take
Well, the price isn’t going to go over very well with most folks, but this is one of those Elite-style controllers for Switch. There are plenty of wireless Switch controllers out there in the $40 range, but not with four programmable paddles, magnetic swappable faceplates, and the rest of it. It certainly isn’t for everyone, but hardcore Switch gamers might really appreciate the customization options here.
