iflip Wireless Controller for Switch/Lite/OLED Pro

The controller is a functional and affordable alternative to the official Nintendo controllers. It supports wake-up, rumble (but not HD rumble) and gyro axis features, which are great for enhancing your gaming experience. A particularly useful feature is that pressing the home button can wake up the console, a function that the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth C controller lacks.

However, the precision of the joysticks leaves something to be desired, especially when compared to the original Nintendo controllers or the 8BitDo alternatives. In some units, the right joystick isn’t centered properly, which can affect gameplay and may require an immediate replacement due to this manufacturing defect.

The left and right joysticks would be better if they had better precision. This issue can be particularly noticeable in games requiring precise control, like when maneuvering the running lion – Jaxi – in Mario Odyssey.

While it works for most games, the slight lack of precision in the joysticks could be a drawback for more demanding gameplay. If you’re on a budget and need a backup controller, this might be a decent choice, but be aware of the potential for defects and the overall less precise joystick control.
