For the price, this is an awesome controller! Of course, it doesn't feel the same quality as a Nintendo controller, but it is just as responsive. The buttons and the d-pad being differently orientated never made a difference in my gaming. It was all still very natural. If the battery life is a problem, then buy two. With two controllers you are still paying less than half the price of a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
THANK YOU SOME MUCH!!, i accidentally resey my controller and didnt know how to pair it back until you showed instructions saying "home + y", after a few months now i finally was able to pair it back!
I just bought one of these last night so I could play Street Fighter 30th on my switch with a proper D-Pad, it’s a really nice controller especially at that price point.
This controller will also work for the Nintendo Switch Lite as well as the Switch. It is a really nice controller and I like it. Thank you for creating this video.
@@JesusMendoza-xl4oo Yes you need to press the home button and go into controllers. After pressing the middle button on the controller choose find controllers on the switch lite and it should find it.
You could also look on the switch lite and choose pairing new controllers for help. Problem though is the button mentioned is different for the controller from 5 Below.
I saw these the other day and was surprised by how good they looked! Been trying to find reviews, but I guess it's something fairly new. Thank you for sharing! I might go back get one for my PC. :)
About a year ago I bought one and just today I wanted to connect it to my Nintendo switch and I didn't know how to pair it, I miraculously found your video and it literally saved my day 😅
It's not too bad for a Switch Pro controller that has vibration function. Power A pro controllers (which flooded the 3rd party market) don't even have haptic feedback. Also the Playstation layout is odd for some games, where the d-pad is for accessory stuff like choosing inventory or menus, and the analog is used for character movement.
I literally looked up a any video on that controller since I was I'm the store, thank you sir. Work great on my moto g stylus 2021. Definitely a good buy.
I just bought one and I used the Bluetooth to hook it up to my pc while using Batocera. It worked great. I was also able sync it to my OUYA. It was a good buy.
I looked it up apparently you need the vr controller for games while flat controllers work for certain titles. Seeing how this is a. Switch controller and pc one some games will work but others won't. It's hit and miss
I just bought 2 of these and the right stick button doesn't work on either, and on one the left stick button doesn't. Very disappointing. I could have lived with the cheap feel.
I bought this remote and it always works it just keeps blinking this blue light and won’t wanna turn on idk what to do it trying to charge it at the moment
i got this same one last year but its not connecting to my nintendo it doesnt have the sync its just hold home button bont when i spam l + r it wont connect can you show?
what are you hooking it up to exactly? if your having issues putting it in pairing mode you hold the ps button along with share button. itll put it in pair mode where the controller blinks then your good to go
Bro I just want to make it easy for you can you play world of tank Blitz with this controller, and when you say steam games what does steam games mean can you explain
when i say steam games the actual application on the pc called steam has software inside that allow ps3,ps4,ps5,xbox,switch and alternative controllers support to work for many games on platform. versus downloading activision app or ubisoft app that way not support alternative controllers
@@ianwest1624 oh I am so weak on speaking your knowledge so all I'm saying is can I control or can I use the five and below Nintendo switch multi control on my pvc laptop
Hold the home button and y it should put the controller in sync mode for the switch the instructions are in box. The faster way to do it is put the switch in the dock then use a usb c cable and plug it into the dock it’ll instantly sync controller for you
@@ianwest1624 Thanks, that worked! This is a nifty little controller. Gonna take a little time remapping it in my brain, but I like how the minus button is next to the D pad and not above the thumbstick. That’s an inconvenient place, Nintendo.
I noticed iPhones don’t seem to be able to connect but androids and pc computers connect with no issue. I suggest the razed Kishi if your looking for a good controller for iOS Devi

The battery isn’t a issue for me personally I play with mine in corded mode most of the time
Fore the controller was 10$

I agree you never find things this cheap that actually work. Even though the battery isn’t amazing I play in corded mode so it works out
apttmh
@@ianwest1624 ty you man
Anytime
It is not working

Do you know how to connect to the lite though

They don't pair to pc. I think they are only meant for the switch. I bought one to use on my pc and it won't even work on my pc
Bro I got so frustrated when it wasn’t working but now I see IT WORKS
About a year ago I bought one and just today I wanted to connect it to my Nintendo switch and I didn't know how to pair it, I miraculously found your video and it literally saved my day 😅
This is super helpful. I've had this controller since 2018 i think. It's honestly very good!
I like it. Home + A is what I keep forgetting and I keep watching this video just for that. It works great with Oled and Android emulators
I'm thinking about trying it with cod mobile and see if it works
@@ianwest1624 Not working with cod mobile for me, only the home button works which takes me to the lock screen lol
Thanks Ian for helping us sync our controller. We were lost, lol.
Now Teej n I are heading out to the battlefield😁

This is the third time I've watched this video. Back again to say thank you. For the digital accessories contoler sync.

Yeah, I’m so sorry I was late to watching a video. You really made my day. I didn’t know how old supposed to use to control it. Thank you so much.
Thanks much! My kids lost instructions and this helped me pair it with switch! You rock dude.
Glade I could help
This video was so helpful I couldn't figure out how to connect it to my son's switch. So thank you for making this video.
oh my god thank you so much, i lost the instructions and I was already crying thinking the controller stopped working lmao this was very useful
Glad I could help
I just bought one and I used the Bluetooth to hook it up to my pc while using Batocera. It worked great. I was also able sync it to my OUYA. It was a good buy.
It’s a decent controller i use it for cod mobile and mainly mincraft on switch with the wife
@@ianwest1624 for 15 buck, it’s definitely a winner. I hate the joycons. Now I can play with my kid no problem.
There’s a adapter that you can hook up to your switch that allows you to play with your ps and Xbox controllers. I’m going to review that next
@@ianwest1624 can’t wait to see it!
Why mind not connecting to my laptop
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! My 8-year-old is now happy that we can play against each. Me? Not so much; there's a learning curve to these things lol
This be good for kids of you don’t want them missing up your better pro control
This controller is great! Granted shitty battery but it connects to all the things I need it to.
lol the battery is trash but I started using it in corded mode
I think you can also get joy-cons from five below and was wondering if you could do a review a review on it...?
Way ahead of you I got them already I’ll post the review tomorrow on them
@@ianwest1624 looking forward to this video! Lol
I would have never figured this out on my own thank you.
Would this controller work for a PS3?
Thanks man I didn't know how to connect it
So I assume it doesn’t have the function to use amiibos like the regular pro controller?
This is what Im trying to figure out 😢
Don't think so is pretty generic
just got a switch wish they still sold these, at least they dont on the website
Check the stores I still see them though I'm in Philadelphia
sometimes takes a few tries with a switch but it does work!
I found mine at goodwill for a $2 it works great
I saw this at 5 below, I see you have a Samsung, do you know if it works as a controller for Samsung VR
I looked it up apparently you need the vr controller for games while flat controllers work for certain titles. Seeing how this is a. Switch controller and pc one some games will work but others won't. It's hit and miss
@@ianwest1624 thank you for the info, you have earned a subscriber, the video was very informative.
@@thedivinityman alright more subs 😆 thanks
Thanks you are a life saver
Ty this was actually helpful
I'm genuinely surprised it advertised a screenshot function, as it is a main part of the Switch itself.
If it helps sales
I just bought 2 of these and the right stick button doesn't work on either, and on one the left stick button doesn't. Very disappointing. I could have lived with the cheap feel.
I bought this remote and it always works it just keeps blinking this blue light and won’t wanna turn on idk what to do it trying to charge it at the moment
Wait you got it for 15 at 5Below? I got mine for 5.99😅
Where you get yours? I got robbed 😂
@@ianwest1624 a five below location in Austin,Texas, but after checking again, I was charged 10$ not 6$!
BRO TYSM I COULDN'T CONNECT IT BUT NOW I CAN TY
Thank you! I couldn’t get mine to sync.

Cool
Thanks for help in the contoler
Anytime
5 below did some right somewhat right for once!
Are the trigger buttons analog or digital?
Mine won't connect i already tried the reset button and it still won't work and im using a android
Did you put it in sync mode before trying to connect? There’s two sync modes one with Nintendo switch and one with Bluetooth in general
@@ianwest1624 yes and ty it works now 👍
Any info on how to use the turbo button?
Honestly I tried it and I have no idea what a turbo button even does at this point lol. I'll try it again and get back to you
Thanks!
Ok question , I need to figure out how to fix the settings to build idk how please help for. Fortnite mobile 😭😭
Question: Does it motion control?
Does it harm the connection or the switch itself?
Also does it work with the switch lite?
I had no connection issues it’s similar to a regular switch controller. Yes it works for switch lite
May you make a video about what you can play with the controller
I have android again so I'll do that this week
The buttons pop up for roblox to
Thank you thank you!
i got this same one last year but its not connecting to my nintendo it doesnt have the sync its just hold home button bont when i spam l + r it wont connect can you show?
You have to hold home and y
The question is why isn’t it turning on well I did buy it at five below but still?
Is it even charging for you?
W vid thanks bru
Question: If you can connect the controller to a nintendo switch, can you connect it to the nintendo switch lite?
Absolutely they work the same way whether it's this controller or even a joycon
@@ianwest1624 alright tysm I can now finally use my switch lite again!!
Hurrah!!!!!
Why you can connect? I try a lot time also is pro switch controller is call colourflow but i can't connect? Why you easy connect
I'm using it on either pc or android. If your using it for ios it may not work
Does this work for games like Minecraft?
This controller is from five below
Thank you
how do i connect it to a chromebook
Can you do a part 2 on pc please
I got you I’ll do that video tomorrow and post link for you
Probably end up picking it up testing it for emulation
Upper Darby Philly.?
Can you help me out ? I’m trying a ps4 DualShock controller and I need to connect it but it doesn’t pair any tips ?
what are you hooking it up to exactly? if your having issues putting it in pairing mode you hold the ps button along with share button. itll put it in pair mode where the controller blinks then your good to go
i'm trying to connect it to my iphone x in the switch setting, but it kept disconnecting, any idea how to make it work?
You can't connect it to iphone I think
Does it work with emulators?
Does it have gyro?
I'm going to say no it doesn't. There's no setting for it in the instructions
does it connect on ios?
Being bt I wonder if it would connect to a ps4 without an adapter
Unlikely since it's technically a Nintendo switch controller
How much it cost
Still works to this day
Awesome mine too
Would this controller work for Roblox
Does it connect to iPads
It can also play minecraft
Yes that is important
i got one but could this work on pc?
Sure can either through Bluetooth or corded mode. Can't say for sure if it works for non steam games though
8:27 for switch connection thank you
I’m going to start time stamping all the videos moving forward
You sound like JOE BUDDEN haha
Noooooooooo lol
Does it work for iPhones
It didn’t work when I tried it but I’ll try again recently got a iPhone 13 so I’ll message you later today
great controller for emulationn
I agree
Can u connect the controller to a xbox??
No just Nintendo switch, a phone and PC. Not made for xbox
I hope this works for PSSPP emulator (PSP) I need a controller to play games there
Possibly I'll try it when I get home
Aether sx2. You'll have to map the buttons but works great
Just got one today how do I connect it to my switch
Either plug it to the dock while iswitch is in it and on or follow instructions in box. If you don't have it I can look it up for you.
Does this controller work with Amiibo?
Don't know never used that feature lol
Meant sorry not lol

My phone can’t find it! I have the iPhone SE 2022
I noticed iPhones don’t seem to be able to connect but androids and pc computers connect with no issue. I suggest the razed Kishi if your looking for a good controller for iOS Devi
does this work on switch lite?
Yes its technically for the switch and I’ve tried it already
Does it support android IOS phones as well
Never mind I watched the video and you said it does
I did a second video on the controller it didn’t support ios but did support pc, Android and switch
Will it work on a iPhone
Didn't work when I tried it. Only worked on android and pc for me
On my iPhone Bluetooth it won’t show up
It doesn't seem to sync with iPhones but works for androids and PC computers
Does anyone know if it work with iphone? Trying to use it for cod mobile
It didn't connect for me when I tried it. Your better off with t he razor kishi that's works almost out perfectly with it
Does it work for 2k?
I’ll give it a shot when I get home. I’m assuming your talking about 2k on the phone? Let me know so I can try it on the right platform
Works for fortnite on android
Works on a lot of games in general
Me to
Does it work for amiibo plz? ☺️💕
What do you mean exactly?
Does this work for IOS
Didn't for me no matter how hard I tried. I suggest the Razor kishi instead for apple
