Our read on this product
Moving from the flat, cramped feel of Joy-Cons to a full-sized grip changes how long you can comfortably play. The transparent housing reveals the internal layout, which is a fun visual touch, but the real benefit is having two extra buttons on the back that you can map to your most-used actions. It removes the need to constantly shift your thumb across the face buttons during intense moments.
You will likely spend more time tweaking the light modes than you expect, but the ability to turn them off completely is just as helpful for late-night sessions. Since it uses a rechargeable battery, you stop the cycle of hunting for spares or dealing with the weight of disposable cells. It feels like a permanent upgrade to your setup rather than a temporary fix.
What makes it stand out
- Programmable back buttons provide a competitive advantage by allowing custom mapping of face buttons.
- Transparent polycarbonate housing offers a visual aesthetic that standard opaque controllers lack.
When this isn't the right fit
- You primarily play games on a PC, as this is restricted to the Nintendo Switch.
- You prefer a minimalist, solid-color aesthetic rather than a transparent design with internal lighting.
Real-world notes
- The transparent shell shows off the internal circuitry, which gives it a distinct look compared to standard controllers.
- Mapping the back buttons allows for faster inputs in games that require complex button combinations.
- The battery life lasts long enough that you rarely need to think about plugging it in during a gaming session.
- The lighting can be adjusted or turned off entirely if you find it distracting in a dark room.
Pick this up if you want a more ergonomic grip and extra button control without the premium cost of first-party hardware.
