Been meaning to get another few controllers for my switch, came across both this and the Mario style controllers. Just picked one up and its a solid build controller but doesnt have the motion sensor which makes it pretty light
Worth mentioning it's Not an official Nintendo controller and is not made by Nintendo. so don't expect that quality. personally I wouldn't bother at all with non-official controllers even at half this price.

That means they have licenced it not that Nintendo make it.

I know Power A made it but to have the nintendo seal it has to pass a certain quility thats what I thought anyway

Sorry to disappoint you but that seal of quality doesn't mean much nowadays. it simply means it's licenced. there are many awful product for Nintendo systems that carry that "seal".

2 years manufacturer's warrenty too.
Ignore the fanboys who complain this is not "offical" because if nintendo did make this it would be twice the price, it also cant be worse than the offical lump of plastic you get with the switch.

Sure, it would also be twice the quality though.

do you actually own one?

I do not, I'm just saying that based on decades of experience as a gamer. Maybe it's the best controller ever, who knows. I wouldn't bet on it though.

Guys I think this is sarcasm and that this is not the best controller ever..... Expire the deal!
Really though it is good for those looking for a second controller or those who don't use docked mode much.
If you think the official one is better value for money post it and see what happens.
(Hint: nintendos official stuff is overpriced and it will go cold)

It's not a deal for hotukdeals, but with most third party stuff, you end up buying a first party version eventually because the one you bought that was cheaper wasn't as good. So you do end up spending more in most cases.
I will never argue that Nintendo hardware is overpriced, because it is, but it is the best that you can get for a Nintendo console.

As much as it's Zelda themed, it's not the best controller for Breath of the Wild really seeing as there is no motion control which certain shrines require the use of. Plus no motion assisted aiming when using the bow.

I do agree some shrines need them but you can actually turn off motion and do the labyrinth one in assume you're mentioning

You can turn off the motion? The only way I ever completed the shrine was flipping the board upside down and guiding it

I'm saying you can, but I did the same as you.. turned that controller completely upside down

Cool but remember it's a 3rd party licenced product, other wise it would be £65 like the pro controller lol
