This item is listed as a WIRELESS controller however it does not work unless you have the wire plugged in. The wire is detachable from the controller but it does not have Bluetooth capability to connect to your switch. ONLY RATING 3 STARS BECAUSE BEST BUY LISTED THE ITEM INCORRECTLY AND IT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

No programmable buttons, have to be close enought to the console to be plugged in, you can hear every loud click when you push buttons. But it beats the price of a pro controller, won't die on you while your playing, and still gets the job done.
