i have never had any experience with this company and am not making any accusations, i just felt like it's worth noting that Nintendo Pro controllers have a surprising number of counterfeits out there (some of which are extremely convincing).
When purchasing from anyone, it may be worth looking out for signs of potential counterfeits as shown in many youtube videos like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPPG4VnQ2a8
Again, no accusation, just saying that I would stay weary when purchasing these, especially at lower price points.
VIPOutlet is basically a liquidity company that manages Walmart's clearance stuff. I have bought multiple stuff from them and all of them have a return address of a Walmart store.
So far I haven't had any issues, but since they are selling stuff that people have returned back to Walmart you always have the possibility of getting something not as expected. That applies to open box and refurbished stuff. All the stuff they have marked as brand new has been actually sealed in box brand new. The worst thing I have encountered with brand new stuff is that the box might be banged up, but it has been sealed and the stuff inside were in new condition with warranty and all.
They have a good return policy which I haven't had to use yet.
Not meaning to convince anyone to trust them or buy this, just adding my experience as input for others to make their own decision.
I think this is was Walmart's answer to the people that used to go to brickseek to try to find good deals and resale them online. Walmart said, might as well be us making profit out of it. Also stop the harassment from people going in store and fighting with the employees.
I rarely see anything good now a days on the clearance section of Walmart. They mostly sell that stuff through VIPOutlet now.

Don't really matter as far as getting the right one because the authentic one is prone to drift stick. It just too Bad man. Mines finally got drifted after 2+ years. It abysmal so I traded it in to GS for store credit. I won't be getting another one. YMMV on experience, people! Mine isn't an indicator of everything
If it isn't a counterfeit, fantastic price. Some people talk about drift, I've beaten a couple mine with Smash and it still works just fine. Joycons on the other hand are MUCH worse joysticks prone to failure with drift. Pro controller sticks are awesome imho.

I had some joy cons that had the drift, sent them back to Nintendo to be repaired for free... Wonder if they do that for the pros? I have a pro and it's been fine.

Nintendo would do everything it can to keep u from sending it to them by troubleshooting extensively. Otherwise yes they replace it as expected. Not sure how the goons do it behind the scene but yeah YMMV on experience. I personally wont bother sending it to them

VIP Outlet is legitimate. They are absolutely fine to purchase from.

My switch pro controller died after a few years. Some of the buttons stopped working. I hardly used it so was quite surprised when it failed. Luckily I have multiple third party controllers that are compatible with the switch 2. I played Donkey Kong Bananza with the 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless controller (which was updated to support switch 2 using the dongle; just have to start it while pressing the Y button to put it in switch mode). The only problem is that it would rumble almost constantly within the game. Upon reading forums supposedly it is a bug in the game that affects all third party controllers. So I had to play the entire game with rumble off.
So as much as I prefer 8bitdo controllers, there are cases where a game bug may hamper your experience when using third party controllers. No idea whether the bug has been fixed now. But it was definitely an issue when I played the game.

I've purchased a lot from them as well and it's mostly good. Like you said it's all returns/overstock from Walmart and Sams Club. I bought a 4 pack of something and they only sent me one. Took them about a week to respond and they offered 3/4 refund which I was fine with, but expect to wait for a response.
I also bought an open box 65 inch S90DD (Sams Club model OLED from 2024) recently that came in an unoriginal box that was in rough shape. Inside was a brand new 0 hour s90dd with all plastics still in tact. If you look at reviews for the same item others have received broken/wrong tvs so it's a gamble. But it was only $640 so worth it with easy returns.
Was a/b to pull the trigger till I noticed some of the comments mentioned the risk of stick drift that these controllers are prone to which made me reconsider not doing so.
