One of its nicest yet?
In our review, we found the PDP Rematch Glow controller to be a decent option for Nintendo Switch players, albeit with some notable drawbacks. The glow in the dark effect itself isn’t fantastic and the lack of gyro aiming makes it a poor fit for games likeSplatoon 3which heavily rely on the tech.
That said, we really enjoy the overall aesthetics of the Rematch Glow and its various designs, and this ‘Grand Prix Peach’ model may just be the best looking yet. We also love the impressive 40-hour battery life via Bluetooth, and the addition of two programmable back buttons useful for secondary inputs in thebest Nintendo Switch games.
