The first thing that captivates you is the design – a homage to the iconic GameCube controller. The familiar shape, responsive buttons, and satisfyingly clicky analog sticks instantly evoke memories of classic gaming sessions. The attention to detail in replicating the GameCube's feel while maintaining compatibility with the Switch is truly commendable.
Comfort is key during prolonged gaming sessions, and the RetroFlag Joy-Cons deliver on this front. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, and the buttons provide a tactile and responsive feel. The inclusion of a turbo button is a neat addition for games that benefit from rapid-fire inputs, adding a touch of modern convenience to the retro design.
Compatibility with the Nintendo Switch is seamless, and these Joy-Cons function just like the standard ones, allowing for wireless gameplay and easy pairing. The wireless connectivity ensures that the GameCube nostalgia isn't limited by cords, providing the freedom to play comfortably from a distance.
What sets these Joy-Cons apart is the build quality. They feel sturdy and well-made, and the inclusion of a USB-C charging port adds a modern touch. The battery life is impressive, providing extended gaming sessions without the need for constant recharging.
In conclusion, the RetroFlag Switch Joy-Cons are a must-have for any gaming enthusiast who cherishes the classic GameCube era. They successfully marry the charm of retro design with the functionality required for modern gaming. Whether you're reliving the past or introducing a new generation to the joys of GameCube-style controllers, these Joy-Cons are a five-star addition to any Nintendo Switch setup. Highly recommended!
Some customers have complained that it can scratch the sides of your Nintendo Switch, so I have removed the Switch really slow each time and therefor not experienced that.
Also note that most cases wont fit when you have this controller on, but I guess that is obvious. But you can still charge the Switch with the bottom port which is great.
I can fully recommend this product, based on the way it feels, the cute Gamecubey look and the much improved controls over the standard drifty joycons. Also fast shipping.

Since it's not relying on the switch's rails system, it makes the whole thing feel like one solid unit instead of having the controllers be a little wobbly on the each side of the switch tablet. This makes the whole package feel really premium.
My main gripe with the controller is that it's just really heavy.
For reference, the switch tablet is 297 grams.
Each regular joycon is around 50 grams, making the switch with regular joycons attached 398 grams.
The Hori Split Pad Pro controllers each weigh 80 grams, which means when attached, it's 457 grams.
But this thing? 270 grams WITHOUT the switch, when it's plugged in the whole thing weighs a FAT 567 grams.
That's too much for me when laying in bed holding it up to my face - so I did some surgery and removed the rumble motors. They're the same big ones that they put in regular controllers, and make a up a pretty good chunk of the weight of the Retroflag. They're not hard to remove if you've ever opened up controllers before, just be careful with the ribbon cables.
Overall this thing is a steal for $50 and really brings nice feeling big buttons and sticks to the handheld format - notably better than the Hori Split Pad Pro - but I haven't tried the Split Pad Compact or the Nitro deck which are some of the other popular options.

This controller is a solid, single piece; not split controllers. This makes your Switch feel hefty and premium. Some may not like the added weight, but I personally love it.
Pros:
Excellent build quality (feels very “premium”).
Tactile buttons.
Grippy and responsive joysticks.
No input lag.
Hefty weight.
Rumble & motion controls.
Gamecube inspired.
Hall effect joysticks (no drifting!).
Cons:
Controller is not texturized, but rather smooth and slippery.
The ZR trigger does not feel as tactile as the LR trigger.
The L&R buttons have different sounding tactile clicks.
Cannot wake the Switch.
Portable only.
Overall, definitely worth a buy! I have used around 20 different controllers to date, and these are my favorite by a landslide.

Adjunto algunas fotos para los que estén dudando (Hori Azul), este mando es definitivamente es mas comodo, sentía que el Hori lo hacia demasiado largo y aunque no es muchísimo si son fácilmente unos 4 centímetros mas de largo, la palanca derecha se siente bien pero realmente no lo eh probado con ningun FPS.
El color como varios mencionan no es tan azul sino mas cercano a morado, es muy similar a un gamecube en el que se basan (hay una foto comparándolo con un control original que tengo, pareciera que las fotos del producto las tomaron con una reflector atrás del control por lo claro y translucido que parece.
En general estoy mu contento con el control y creo que es una excelente alternativa al Hori en términos de comfort, estética y funciones (la vibración HD funciona bien), el único pero que tengo es que realmente no me gusta el conector que sobresale del USB C pero funciona bien para cargar, sin embargo no sirve con el Genki Covert Dock ya que la función passthrought es únicamente para carga no video.
