Q: Questionif its a wired controller then why the heck would it be able to unplug from its cord?

Asked 5 years ago by justahuman.

• A:Answer 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: QuestionSince this is a wired controller, how exactly does it work? one end is connected to the controller where does the other end go?

Asked 5 years ago by anon.

• A:Answer 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: QuestionCan this remote work with switch directly without the dock for switch ?

Asked 6 years ago by Mohan.

• A:Answer The cord is USB-C to connect to the controller and USB-A to connect to the switch dock. The only connection to the Switch itself is USB-C. So it won't work as-is. If you purchase a USB-C to USB-C cord, then it should work.

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello! The Switch Wired and Wireless Controllers are designed specifically to work with the Nintendo Switch console. While the controller may connect to other devices, there may be compatibility issues that may occur preventing the user from receiving the full functionality of the controller. As such, we only officially support this controller for use on the Switch Console.
