Deal Details
Regular $99.

Saw this marked on sale on both Target and Amazon websites with my local Target having one in stock. Store display said $99 and I was fully ready to have them price match their website but it rang up as $60. The extra $5 savings is likely very YMMV.

This is a very premium feeling remote with swappable joysticks and mappable (or removable) rear paddles. I honestly prefer it to the Switch Pro controller which is considered by many to be one of the best controllers made across any platform.

It comes with both a black and white faceplate that are interchangeable and also includes a 10ft braided USB-C cable that will allow for charging and/or wired play. All accessories are able to be stored in an included carrying case.

It has favorable reviews across all sites with plenty of additional details on both Amazon and Target.com.

Should wake YOU up and make you coffee for that price.
While it's not for everyone and you can find other third party controllers for much cheaper, this is an "elite" / "pro" version controller that is cheaper than the first party controller it's trying to improve upon. Most Pro/Elite controllers are $150 plus.

PowerA has controllers under $30, but they definitely feel it. Cheap plastic, clicky buttons, etc. This Fusion Pro controller feels very premium by comparison.

This worth it over an actual Nintendo pro controller? Same-ish price…

At that price point, I would have been all over this if it had Rumble.

"NOTE: Controller does not support HD rumble, IR or Amiibo NFC.; Motion controls require Bluetooth Wireless Mode; Stereo audio and in-game chat available in Wired Mode only"

Yeah no HD rumble is a deal killer. Too many games use that.

I have both and honestly prefer this to the Nintendo version. The rear paddles are true game changers and I'm quite surprised it hasn't become a normal feature of all controllers.

If you like rumble, then go with the Nintendo version as this doesn't support rumble. I always disable rumble so it isn't something I miss.

These are junk. Had an Xbox one and it lasted all of three months. The paddles wear out quickly and easily.

Thumbs down all you want, still junk imo.

Really mixed reviews on Amazon, particularly the "most helpful" ones.

Seems like all Switch controllers are a crapshoot, including the first party ones.

My first party pro controller is mostly on, but I've had to "hack" the D pad to keep it from doing hard drops in Tetris, and even that doesn't always work. And almost all of my joycons have issues.

All my other console (first party) controllers have pretty much no issues. Not sure why no one can make a reliable Switch controller.
