- Wired Controller, 10ft (3m) USB Cable, User Guide
Q: if its a wired controller then why the heck would it be able to unplug from its cord?
A: Three reasons. Most obvious is for the sake of storage and travel, cause wires are easier to roll up when they’re not attached to the controller themselves. Secondly, it’s designed to protect the switch in the case of a hard tug or someone tripping on the cable, which will cause the cable to unplug from the controller instead of yanking on the dock and dropping the switch. And finally, because the type of cable it uses is so common, it makes it really easy to replace if it gets damaged somehow.
Q: Is this controller compatible with any other devices besides the Nintendo Switch?
A: Yes, my son uses it for PC games as well
Q: Can you use this controller wireless
A: no you can not
Q: Does this work with the Switch Lite?
A: No, sadly the Nintendo switch lite is not compatible with wired controllers.
Q: Does this controller work for motion detection stuff like the normal switch controller?
A: No, no haptic feedback
Q: Is this controller worth getting?????
A: Yes. My kids use it if some friends comming
A: The switch dock has 3 USB ports, two on the side and one in the back with the AC and HDMI ports. You can plug the controller into any of these USB ports. Please note that this means you can only use this controller when the switch is docked, and cannot be used when in Handheld mode.
Q: Can I use multiple of these controllers at the same time if I want to play with friends?
A: Yes, our boys use 2 of these controllers and do 4 player on Minecraft when their friends come over.
