    Don’t buy these- the cord came out of the controller 2 weeks after purchase. We had to use electrical tape and super glue to keep the cord in. After a month, it just stop working. Don’t waste the money.

    Work when I plug in the first time, but didn't when I plug it into another slot. Returned it for another. End up taking that one back and just got the pro controller. Looks cool, that is why I put 1 star.

    Button drifted in less than 30 days, returned. Save your money and buy an authentic Switch Pro controller instead. Quality wins and unfortunately this controller had none.
