Else, if you really can&#8217;t spare five minutes, we&#8217;ll be nice enough to tell you it&#8217;s a third-party Hycarus controller designed for the Nintendo Switch. For unknown reasons, it closely resembles the PlayStation DualShock 4 gamepad. We don&#8217;t want to spoil the video for you, but it&#8217;s <em>really<\/em> bad. This controller comes with poor button alignment, cheap plastic casing and RGB lights that make it look like a Christmas tree. Probably the best thing about it is the USB cable.<\/p>\n<p>Alex has used a lot of control pads over the years and assures us this one is awful. It&#8217;s also the worst one he&#8217;s used with his Nintendo Switch &#8211; so yeah, avoid this at all costs. We hope no one here scored one of these in their stockings this Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you tried out this controller? Have you used any other third-party Switch controllers?
