   I primarily play Xbox and the Elite1/2 controllers are the best controllers I’ve personally ever used on any system, including SCUFF IMO. The paddles are the number one feature for me. The paddles are great for any game where taking your thumb off the right stick, even for a part of a second, can be detrimental. I pretty much only play Switch for Nintendo exclusive games and when I’m traveling. That being said when i play the switch in a hotel in docked mode Nintendo’s Pro controller is ok, but just doesn’t cut it for Overwatch. I’m so trained to use the Elite, I can barely function without them now. I as with my Elites I map a paddle for jump, reload, sprint, and a variable for specific to which character I’m playing. I bought the Fusion Pro specifically for the paddles, and although its not quite an Elite, its pretty darn good for just over half the price.The build quality is really good. I’ve seen reviews where people shake the controller and complain the buttons “rattle”. The buttons do make a bit of noise if you shake it as there’s a tiny bit of play side to side, which honestly is not noticeable for me when playing. Idk why shaking it is even something people care to test. I had to see if my Elite 2 had any slack side to side in the buttons. It does, maybe not quite as much, but still some. The sticks feel pretty good, not Elite level, but best i’ve used on a Switch controller. Again, i compare to the Elite, I know its not as expensive so i don’t expect it to be that level, but its the closest thing to compare it to.The case is also well made and nice to have. It comes with 2 face magnetic face plates. (white / black) as well as 2 extra sticks (tall concave / short convex).The only thing it doesn’t have that I’d like is the rumble. It does feel weird to fly with Pharah with no haptic feedback from her thrusters, but I’ll live.Anyway, this is the best Switch controller i’ve used, much better than Nintendo’s Pro controller IMO. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed especially if you specifically want it for the paddles.

   So I’m reading through a bunch of the reviews, and I don’t know if I got lucky or if it just happens that people with a defect in their product are more likely to post reviews, so as to warn others.MY controller feels incredible. The faceplates fit so snugly that when I handed a friend the controller, it blew his mind that the faceplate just pulls off. The buttons also all feel high quality, and the sticks feel tense compared to most 1st party controllers. I love this controller, and changing to it alone has noticeably increased my input consistency in Smash Ultimate.I’m going to try and point out the differences this controller has, because it also seems like a bunch of the negative reviews just point out differences as if they are a bad thing. So here we go…- The face buttons are slightly taller and smaller (area) compared to a Pro Controller (Pro for the rest of this). They have great confirmation on press, and tend to press straight up and down without tilting to the side.- The back triggers are… more pointy(?) than a pro. I actually think this is a huge positive for Smash, because you often want very brief button presses in that game, and it’s very easy to press the trigger and roll off precisely. The triggers also have less travel than a pro. I’m not actually sure if this affects the trigger performance in games that have analogue triggers? Or if switch has analog triggers?- The controller has some weight to it. It has no rumble, so they probably just added weight. It feels great in my hands, and helps the grip imo. It is notably heavier than a Pro.- The sticks have higher resistance than a Pro. I like this, but it’s preference. I haven’t had the problem with being unable to get to “full run” distance in a game where run speed is related to tilt. Not sure if I am lucky or they addressed the problem.- The base sticks are also completely concave. On a Pro, there is a dip, but the center of the controller is convex. It’s much more comfortable and effortless to move the sticks on the Fusion.- The rubber grip is very high quality feeling. The whole surface of the controller feels premium, but I like the rubber much more than I thought. It also doesn’t just collect dust like I thought it might.- The controller can be used on PC through steam, just like the pro controller can. It is tedious.- I like that it has a headset jack, but the switch itself cannot utilize it unless the controller is plugged into the console and is on wired mode, which is a bummer.- The extra sticks that come in the case are purpose driven. While I do think it would be fine if the controller came with 2 of each stick, they are each meant for one of the sides. The tall stick is for the right thumbstick to play shooters with. The longer stick gives you easier leverage and makes aiming easier. That additional control isn’t really ever worth it on the left side. The dome stick was for the left side, which is the finger most likely to hold forward for long periods of time. The dome will put less pressure on your finger. I can still understand some people just wanting to play with 2 of the same sticks though, so slight minus points, even though people that want to use the dome on the right stick are psychopaths.- The paddles… I kind of like them? I think they are basically inferior to the paddles on a Scuf controller in every way. They are easy to map, and easy to remove (both individually and the entire module), but their positioning and resistance are sub-par. While the weight of the controller won’t press them on my hands, it’s close, and unless you have real good grip control you will likely end up pressing them. I’ve had 2 scuff controllers, and I think they are vastly superior paddles. I also remove the paddles when I play smash, just so they aren’t in my way.- The anti-friction rings around the sticks are nice, but not as nice as the xbox elite series 2. Still better than stock Pro controller.- The case doesn’t have a carry handle. Otherwise, it is a wonderful case to be included in this bundle! I would like a handle, and I would like a spot that would securely hold the paddle module when it is removed. It has space for everything else you’d want to hold for this controller.Sorry for the very lengthy review. I wanted to make sure all the information I could get was out there. Overall, this controller feels amazing. I’ve owned 2 scuf controllers and several other non-premium 3rd party controllers for many consoles and PC. As far as how a controller “feels” in my hands, both form factor and how all the buttons and sticks feel, this is probably my favorite controller. I really like that the paddle module is removable, but it’s easily the least good part of this controller for me. I also think this is a wonderful price point if you want a premium feeling controller without spending like 200$. I have owned mine for several months now, and I’ve played a LOT of smash. That game isn’t kind to controllers, and my Fusion Pro is still feeling great. I will update whenever I inevitably get stick drift =)

   I ordered this to use with my new Switch because I prefer controllers to the joycons. The controller itself is great. Nice and hefty, great grips on it, back paddles, which are easy to map, if you want them. The only issue is that it didn’t come with the 10ft braided USB cable, so now I’m having to use an old phone USB-C cable to charge it.It’s disappointing that it didn’t come with everything that is advertised, but the controller itself is great. I just wish it worked on PC properly as well.

   Works just like a Scuf controller for a fraction of the price. I’ve been using Scuf and Battle Beaver controllers for a few years now and when I play Switch games I find it hard to go back to not having inputs on the back of the controller. This is a good find for a decent price.Paddles are easy to remove, not quite the perfect placement for me, though. I had to remove the button paddles and put the smaller top paddled in the bottom spot so it feels more comfortable. Rest of the controller seems good except for the face buttons. ABXY feel too tall and kind of mushy. You have to press them down a little further than a usual controller and it just doesn’t feel quite right.The case is nice and it comes with either a black or white faceplate and spare joysticks. Though the joysticks are 1 domed top and one extended stick. Would have been nice to have 2 of one or the other so I could replace both sticks with the same thing. Also comes with a second back so you don’t have to have the paddle attachment on the back if you don’t want.Not sure about the durability as it’s only been a week or so, but if need be I’ll update when/if it breaks.Overall, very satisfied.
