This is almost an excellent product, but a few quirks set it back.First issue I have is ergonomics. While using the left joy and the face buttons are fine, in games that use the right analog and dpad causes cramping after a few minutes. Not a huge deal as it is present on the Joycons too, but why not improve on the ergo if you have obvious faults of the joycon right in front of you?Second issue and this is a mild one is the rumble. The rumble isn't overly loud, but it feels cheap. Hd rumble has finer control. Tiny rumble - pounding rumble. The Nitro has different settings for rumble, but each setting has just one strength instead of finer strength control like HD rumble.I can live with these two issues. They are not deal breakers since the rest of the product is excellent.Plastic quality is nice. No issues with molding and it has a matte texture to it. The rear grips have a micro dot pattern for even more grip. This grip is put together well.Buttons are great overall. Joys are hall and have little resistance. I don't mind resistance or low resistance. it only takes a few minutes to get use to. The Joy sticks are smooth and they do not grind against the housing. Face buttons are decent. medium travel and medium click sound. They are not mushy. DPAD is decent, but you can get miss clicks since the DPAD is of the looser variety. It's not bad though and I would label it average. I like the triggers. They are analog, but you can set the click depth. They are perfect and super smooth and quiet. The shoulder buttons are easy to press and are click. The rear buttons can be disabled. I don't use them. They overall control quality is great.Programing and settings are nice. You change stick dead zone, rumble intensity, disable buttons, switch for wire to wireless and more. This controller is feature rich.Charging is good. I like that the charging port is moved from the bottom to the top back. Pass through charging works fine. This is will save wear on your OEM charge port.In summary, this is a great overall controller grip. The only thing that made this 4 instead of 5 star is the ergonomics on the bottom controls. I love the look and quality, and I like that the console is protected along with the charge port. I will use this along with other controllers moving forward, with this being my main controller.

The Nitro Deck is comfy, nicely weighted, amazing buttons, and works gloriously overall.
The colors are spot on for the GameCube edition, and the carrying case is grand.
My ONLY disappointment is with the vibrations that happen all the time, they feel a bit cheap, and happen way to often. When using the joycons, vibration is more subtle due tot heir smaller size, the vibrations on this are INTENSE, especially with an N64 game! The analog sticks are also super sensitive, and have nearly zero deadzone, which I have had to adapt too. I think I can change that, but I am not sure.....
My ONLY wish for this was that it had a built in battery to help out the switches internal battery. I have noticed that it drains much faster with this than with just joycons.
But still, 5/5 stars.

I have one of these coming from Limited Run Games (a Persona 5 edition) and wanted to see what the fuss was about. I must say it's pretty awesome. The buttons are nice and respond nicely without delay. I am impressed with the joysticks they don't feel like you are fighting with them. The design is nice for beefy hands and the rear paddles are easy to program. Having a case included is a major plus. It's nice to have a company that doesn't nickle and dime you for necessities. This definitely needs a case because of the unique design.

However this isn't without flaws. It is a bit difficult to remove the screen from the doc. You can't do it without having to touch the screen. It doesn't work without having to go into the into the Switch settings and set controllers to wired mode.

The CrKT app to register it is a fun novelty, but I don't see how these can be as collectible as a regular controller. I don't see myself having dozens of these.

All in all it's not a bad peripheral. It's great if you can't stand the Nintendo joycons.

I got this shortly after the holidays on sale. I had heard good things about these online and wanted to give it a shot (because let's be real, the joycons are nice but they aren't super comfortable for extended play). This looks and FEELS almost exactly like a standard Gamecube controller (other than being longer obviously). The quality of the material near perfectly replicates the feel of a standard GC controller and the buttons feel great. The hall-effect joysticks feel smooth and aren't prone to drifting, which is great. It's as easy as attaching it to your switch and playing. I haven't taken the time to try the programmable back pads but by default they function as spare shoulder buttons, which is nice. My only gripe is the home button on these things is bright as all get out. If there were a way to adjust that, it'd be damn near perfect in my opinion. It's also a little on the heavy side but it's not that big of an issue if you're only playing for short stints.

The sturdy build makes it more comfortable for me to play (big hands, yo). The OLED model fits in snugly and and the color (Gamecube version) looks great. The only minor beef I have with it is that the kickstand seems too short to sit the Switch up properly. Seems kind of useless. But overall I'm very happy with it. It does sort of feel like you are playing with a new Switch, which is nice.

I been looking for something to replace the traditional joycons since launch. This is a solid unit that adds dimension to the switch. Bulky device that is very pleasant to hold in the hands and the four macro buttons on the back is nice. With a few button presses you can turn the nitro deck into a wired controller. Which is a nice plus along with a way to plug and charge without removing the console from the set. Which is always welcomed. The only downside is the console relying on the switch itself for power but isn't much a hindering experience than you expect as it doesn't drain as fast as one would expect. The price is definitely worth the entry.

Solo puedo decir: OMG. La calidad que se siente, lo fuerte, los detalles. Es perfecto, simple y sencillamente es hermoso. Si tienes manos grandes, te encantará y si tienes manos pequeñas como yo, solo será cuestión de acostumbrarse. Totaaaalmente vale la pena.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome product (if you have big hands)

I was hesitant to buy this based on some of the common complaints in the reviews, but glad I did. I definitely see how the right stick placement could be problematic for smaller hands, but luckily I was fine.

The rumble is a little much, but they just released a firmware update that allows you to adjust the level, or turn off rumble completely. The update also lets you turn off the thumb stick dead zones, although I didn’t see a problem with the default setting.

My only complaints:
- I don’t love the removal process, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy
- Another review mentioned it, and I agree, the tension on the thumbsticks are very low

Minor complaints though. Overall, great device. Makes handheld play much more enjoyable with how sturdy it makes the Switch feel.
