Q: Questionif its a wired controller then why the heck would it be able to unplug from its cord?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThree 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.Answered by Anonymous

Amazing wired controller!
This controller works perfectly and has all the necessary features I would want in any gaming controller! The buttons feel great and the design of the product itself makes it very comfortable to hold in my hands. I will definitely be buying more wired controllers from now on

Love this controller
I bought this because my boys can't be trusted with the $60 remotes. These are tougher and cheaper. They held up nicely, and cool designs. I love them so much. I bought 3 for the family, and they work on my PC for other games.
