So I'm reading through a bunch of the reviews, and I don't know if I got lucky or if it just happens that people with a defect in their product are more likely to post reviews, so as to warn others.

MY controller feels incredible. The faceplates fit so snugly that when I handed a friend the controller, it blew his mind that the faceplate just pulls off. The buttons also all feel high quality, and the sticks feel tense compared to most 1st party controllers. I love this controller, and changing to it alone has noticeably increased my input consistency in Smash Ultimate.

I'm going to try and point out the differences this controller has, because it also seems like a bunch of the negative reviews just point out differences as if they are a bad thing. So here we go...

- The face buttons are slightly taller and smaller (area) compared to a Pro Controller (Pro for the rest of this). They have great confirmation on press, and tend to press straight up and down without tilting to the side.
- The back triggers are... more pointy(?) than a pro. I actually think this is a huge positive for Smash, because you often want very brief button presses in that game, and it's very easy to press the trigger and roll off precisely. The triggers also have less travel than a pro. I'm not actually sure if this affects the trigger performance in games that have analogue triggers? Or if switch has analog triggers?
- The controller has some weight to it. It has no rumble, so they probably just added weight. It feels great in my hands, and helps the grip imo. It is notably heavier than a Pro.
- The sticks have higher resistance than a Pro. I like this, but it's preference. I haven't had the problem with being unable to get to "full run" distance in a game where run speed is related to tilt. Not sure if I am lucky or they addressed the problem.
- The base sticks are also completely concave. On a Pro, there is a dip, but the center of the controller is convex. It's much more comfortable and effortless to move the sticks on the Fusion.
- The rubber grip is very high quality feeling. The whole surface of the controller feels premium, but I like the rubber much more than I thought. It also doesn't just collect dust like I thought it might.
- The controller can be used on PC through steam, just like the pro controller can. It is tedious.
- I like that it has a headset jack, but the switch itself cannot utilize it unless the controller is plugged into the console and is on wired mode, which is a bummer.
- The extra sticks that come in the case are purpose driven. While I do think it would be fine if the controller came with 2 of each stick, they are each meant for one of the sides. The tall stick is for the right thumbstick to play shooters with. The longer stick gives you easier leverage and makes aiming easier. That additional control isn't really ever worth it on the left side. The dome stick was for the left side, which is the finger most likely to hold forward for long periods of time. The dome will put less pressure on your finger. I can still understand some people just wanting to play with 2 of the same sticks though, so slight minus points, even though people that want to use the dome on the right stick are psychopaths.
- The paddles... I kind of like them? I think they are basically inferior to the paddles on a Scuf controller in every way. They are easy to map, and easy to remove (both individually and the entire module), but their positioning and resistance are sub-par. While the weight of the controller won't press them on my hands, it's close, and unless you have real good grip control you will likely end up pressing them. I've had 2 scuff controllers, and I think they are vastly superior paddles. I also remove the paddles when I play smash, just so they aren't in my way.
- The anti-friction rings around the sticks are nice, but not as nice as the xbox elite series 2. Still better than stock Pro controller.
- The case doesn't have a carry handle. Otherwise, it is a wonderful case to be included in this bundle! I would like a handle, and I would like a spot that would securely hold the paddle module when it is removed. It has space for everything else you'd want to hold for this controller.

Sorry for the very lengthy review. I wanted to make sure all the information I could get was out there. Overall, this controller feels amazing. I've owned 2 scuf controllers and several other non-premium 3rd party controllers for many consoles and PC. As far as how a controller "feels" in my hands, both form factor and how all the buttons and sticks feel, this is probably my favorite controller. I really like that the paddle module is removable, but it's easily the least good part of this controller for me. I also think this is a wonderful price point if you want a premium feeling controller without spending like 200$. I have owned mine for several months now, and I've played a LOT of smash. That game isn't kind to controllers, and my F...

With something that looks bulkier that the Pro Controller, I was expecting it to be weighty and a bit cumbersome, but that’s not the case here! Even with the paddle mod attached, this feels just like the Pro, only it feels “right”, if you get what I mean. It takes some getting used to when you first try it, but with enough time, you’ll want to say goodbye to your Pro Controller, BUT DONT! This controller doesn’t have rumble nor amiibo support, which can be a pain, given the price but the rumble feature is not much of a loss to me, however, if you still have the old Pro somewhere, keep it close by in case you want to scan some amiibos. I’m also noticing I can’t map combo buttons for the paddles, meaning I can’t use a shortcut press of 2 buttons with any of the paddles, but it’s still helpful when I’m focused on other buttons when I can quickly map buttons on the fly.

I obsessively watched the tracking for these and it was well worth the wait! I bought 2 one of me and one for my wife. The case is it came with is really nice, the charging cord is a great length (I could play with it plugged to my switch cradle if I wanted to), the plate and thumb stick swap is super easy to do and no tools required, and assigning and resetting the paddles is way easier than I thought it would be.

There are 2 things I wanna note here while they weren't favorable they do NOT damage my opinion of the product or seller I'm anyway;

1) like with more electronics you'll want to fully charge your controller before use.

2) the extra thumb sticks are 2 different ones. I wish they sent 2. But no big deal for me.

3) if you're like my and didn't read 100% of the listing then you'll be happy to know that there is a piece in the case that fills the port where the paddle attachment goes. So if you wanna use it like a regular controller for a bit you can.

Everyone I know that I've seen since my controller arrived has seen it and have all commented on how epic it is. I recommend 20/10. Hands down. Period. Buy it now. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

So far I’m impressed! Considering my last powerA advanced wireless controllers left stick broke after 6months. Anyway. The Fusion is top notch. These are the controllers of future gaming! Fully mappable triggers on the back just like an*ELITE CONTROLLER* The analog sticks are still a concern tho. PowerA if you could make the analog sticks aluminum or some other kinda metal. That would be perfect and would make the perfect controller!! The case and the removable face plate are the kickers! Way to complement the controller! Def worth it for the money.

This controller is not as high quality as the xbox elite controller, that being said, is still much better than the powera enhanced wireless or switch pro controllers for switch. It also does not have rumble or NFC, which it should, but that's not that big of a deal if you are only concerned about the input response. The sticks feel a lot better than the powera enhanced or the switch pro controllers, especially when playing fortnite. It's also a paddle controller, so you can assign all the paddles to the face buttons and you never have to take your thumbs off the sticks, which is perfect for smash, perhaps better than the game cube controller everyone uses. My suspicion is that nintendo will release an elite-like controller in the future, which will rival this one but for now, the paddles are a must for certain games and in my opinion are absolutely necessary for fortnite and smash. It takes a while getting used to, but it is definitely worth it in the end.

P.S. The faceplates are easy to change, which is great, but my only question would be about the sticks, as they are also easy to replace, but they are plastic, rather than metal like the ones for the elite controller are.

12/14/21 Update1: Top reviews are paid nintendo shills that want to make this controller look bad to sell more switch pro controllers. I pre-ordered this controller and posted my review a few weeks after the controller was released and I had used it for a bit. The negative reviews were already there with like 15 likes. One or two of them were there the day it was released.
