    Plugs in and works like it should. Good quality controller. Only complaint I have is not the controllers fault, but good to know. The switch will not allow you to remap the buttons with a wired controller.

    Love this controller. The back buttons on it make zelda so much more fun to play. I don't understand how this has back buttons and the official Nintendo switch pro one does not.

    Solid controller for the price for home gaming

    My biggest gripe is really a non-issue for most. The design on the controller is skewed/distorted and it bothers me a little. Quality of the controller is good for the price, but I wish it were heavier, even if it's just added weights, the thing is seriously light. A downside I did notice is that you can't use these unless it's docked, it has a normal full size USB to Micro USB cord, while the Switch itself has a USB C port. You might could find a USB C to Micro USB cord (if they exist) but you'd have to notch the Micro end if it's got a bigger plug head. 2 buttons you can remap on the fly on the back are also a really nice addition to a controller at this price point, usually those are only found on 2nd or 3rd party offerings at $100 or more. So far I've only had about 8-10 hours of use on it and I can report no problems.

    Much much lighter than original nintendo pro controller, so may feel less substance. However, works just fine as cheaper alternatives when on sale. Too bad it is wired use only, though the wire is long enough for most living room.

    I like this as an alternative controller. I got it on sale and if I were you I would wait for a sale. The controller does feel light and kinda cheap but the wire is long enough to reach from my tv to couch.

    I got it on sale for $5 and for that price it is amazing. But it functions exactly the same as any other wired nintendo controller and is worth its retail price

    Bought it on a the month of the November's black Friday sale day and it holding up so far very good. It's a nice alternative controller to be able to use it with the otg cable during handheld gameplay or on the dock usb or like me to keep the joycon's on because of the rails scratching them. So far no drift or anything related that could brake it, no frame drop on them. The wire is pretty long or a usb extender cable will work if its not long enough. Sometimes you could overthink if wired are good, but if you can spend at least $35 for a power a wireless controller with battery then do so to save the hassle, but overall I like it just because it's easy to use without any issues then it being wired.

    Better than using the joycons sometimes. After my wife has treatments her hands shake a bit so the joycons were a pain to use. This controller was perfect for her to game on still.

    Great controller. Got it on sale. Wasn't sure how often we'd be playing so went wired. I also thought it would be of the type I would use should I end up playing solo and not with my young son/family. But we end up playing two player Mario Kart pretty often with the joycons combined and this as our second controller. Only on occasion have we used the joycons as two separate controllers and this as our third. In time I may acquire a wireless controller, but for now this is a very, very good option. And as I said, because it was on sale, it was a very AFFORDABEL option!

    It's comfortable, has nice aesthetics, a good long cable: wish it was more weighted as a heavy controller also just feels better to me, but not big enough a problem as the 5 stars says it all.

    This is a good budget controller. It is very light, since it is wired and does not have a battery installed. It also doesn't have vibration, which is something to take into consideration.

    A great bargain alternative to the wireless controllers. Generous cord length and feels good in hand. I use it with switch, but also through a USB C dongle converter on my phone. Im able ro map the controller and play games on the go with it.

    Controller stopped working after 30 days

    Controller broke after about 5 plays. Conveniently, it broke 5 days after the return period expired. It just stopped working. It is plugged into the switch but shows no power going to the unit. So now I get to deal with the manufacturer and their warranty process. Controller is extremely light and cheap feeling. It feels hollow and weighs very little. I would recommend trying something else. I got this on sale for $18 and it wasn't worth the price. Cool outer design though.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
