Customers are saying

Customers love the Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch because of its overall performance, affordable price, and appealing design. Users appreciate its ease of use, comfortable weight, and sufficient cord length. While the wired connection is a drawback for some, along with the lack of rumble and vibration features, many are happy to avoid battery issues. Compatibility with the Switch is also a plus for gamers.

    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.

    Got a pair of these for the kids to use with the Switch and didn't want to worry about batteries. works great and the kids love the look of the controllers. They do pull the cords out occasionally but thats an acceptable tradeoff.

    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. :)

    Meh. It's a 15 dollar controller. Really light but fairly sturdy, the buttons feel meh, no vibration. one good thing for me is the cable port is really well designed and won't cause your cord to bend at the port.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Got this controller on sale and do not regret it. Inexpensive and does the job. Great for a kid or just a second one if you don’t want to pay the price for a wireless one. Plastic seems slightly cheap but does not take away from the gaming experience

    If you get this as a gift or for you, Get a longer cable for this 12ft or longer if you like to relax in a chair from the switch. Serious longer cord options, please. I like sitting on my sofa from my TV and have room.

    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.

    We bought this so our son could talk to his friends and not have to play in handheld mode. And it does a great job of doing that. My only complaint is that it feels very light...borderline cheap in comparison to Playstation/Xbox controllers.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Works great to provide a hardwire capability to the gaming. Wireless/Bluetooth one's are prone to "drift" in the general environment. Those should come with a zipper case of some sort to prevent this?

    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.
