    Works, but very light

    Feels incredibly light and cheap. The switch controller circuit board is not big to begin with, so this makes sense, however a little weight in the handle parts would feel more ergonomic

    This is a very budget option for a switch controller but honestly i would recommend you save up a bit more and get a better controller as this one is very cheaply made and will break on you after a short while like it did on me and trust me when i say i take good care of my electronics so i know it wasn't because of anything i did to it. Its a shame because it had a lot of promise even having back buttons which is amazing but unfortunately its a pass on this one save your money if you can or get the extended warranty if you're able to because it will break.

    The D-pad on the PowerA wired controller is excellent. It feels accurate and has a comfortable placement. The squishy style of D-pad, like the one found on the Wii and Wii U pads, is a welcome reprieve from the odd four-button layout on the Switch Joy-Cons.

    Good but has a few flaws (for me)

    I love the analog sticks on this thing. When it came to the buttons I didn't quite like the travel on them compared to the much tighter button press of the switch controller, official PS4, controller, etc... Otherwise the value is great, and I think it looks nice too. Love the audio jack on it as well. :)

    Controller works well, buttons and triggers feel good. However, this controller is ridiculously light. It is very unusual in the hand. And the cord port has a notch so you cant use normal USB cords with it.

    These controllers are wired addition to my Switch setup. I actually prefer using these over the Joycons for almost all of my games because they feel so similar to Xbox/PC controllers. So far the triggers and buttons seems responsive and the D-pad works well too.

    Purchase for a gift on Black Friday. It Was a great buy for an extra controller and if you are in a budget. It feels responsive, it look nice the white and Mario. The only negative is the cable that I think is too short.

    Only downfall about this controller it’s not wireless I did not know. Some consoles come with cords to charge controller and that’s what I thought this was. The controller has to stay connected to the cord while playing.

    I love the concept. I am doing my best to collect each and every one of these. The quality is actually great! The pricing isn’t something to scoff at either. Thanks PowerA!

    Lightweight remote. Did originally think it was cordless, but the cord is really long(over 4’) still happy regardless as we combined the controller with the game for a gift.

    Got my daughter and son a switch for Christmas and couldn’t play a lot with them cause the controllers are so tiny and I got dad hands so this controller did the trick. Good fit and old school controller vibe.

    Kind of weird to have a wired controller at this time and age but that aside the control itself is really nice and doesn't feel cheap at all.

    This wired controller works great. No battery requirement and I don’t have a problem with cords. Good practical value overall. Nice and clean design and works with all the games my kids want to play.

    For those who like have a full controller with an attachment to their favorite character or series this is it! Greta for family members who haven’t made the transition to gaming or new controllers.

    Although wired, these PowerA controllers for the Switch are excellent in my opinion. Very comfortable, very reaponsive, and depending on which one you buy, the designs are great looking.

    Bought a Nintendo Switch for my kids for Christmas. We haven't tried these yet but they look exactly as pictured and so far it's the best price I've found on controllers

    This remote is really nice, cool design. My child's only complaint is that it does not have motion controls.
