How each score was set
Usability 5.3 /10
From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.
- Specs and compatibility5.0/10
- Three of six: Switch 2 compatibility, key specs (drift-free sticks, 9-axis gyro, dual back buttons), and a magnetic attach plus bridge. No dimensions or safety listing from the brand.
- Warranty and returns7.0/10
- 2-year warranty with free repair; 14-day money-back and weekday email support. Misuse and disassembly are excluded.
- Setup and software4.0/10
- Two of five: mobile app with firmware fixes, and a swappable D-pad with programmable buttons. Reviewers call the app confusing and the rumble loud.
- Price and extras6.0/10
- Sale and regular price shown; shipping not read; a case that fits is a likely extra.
- Support and owner reports4.0/10
- Email only on weekdays with a stated reply time; Trustpilot has recent complaints of orders not delivered and no reply.
