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.

    Works fine with the switch. Fun design. 3 stars bc I dislike the cord.. kinda inconvenient. Could possibly cost me money if cord becomes damaged.

    Got this at half price during a sale. We ended up rarely using it. The reason? It’s corded. When you have young kids in your household, they are used to cordless everything, so they’re not used to a cord stretching from the console to the couch. We averted a few instances where my kids almost pulled or tripped over the cord, which would have taken the Switch console down with it. That was enough to put this on the sideline as an “emergency spare,” and purchase a new cordless controller.

    Definitely more than I expected for a non-OEM controller. The fabrication was solid and the unit feels sturdy. So far, the buttons and joysticks are holding up well.

    This controller works great! It is, however, cheaper quality then my other wired controller of the same name just a different design. I am a bit worried about it not lasting as long but so far it has worked great!

    Purchased a switch on 12/21/22. Was needing some controllers and ended up buying this model. Overall design and lightness of the controller is a good feature. Price definitely reflects quality. Biggest issue was the controller wanted to disconnect randomly when playing mario cart. Will be returning to purchase another spectra wired model or a wireless pro controller.

    I choose this controller over the wireless because the only option was battery powered. I hate buying batteries. The controller has smooth play and is functional.

    I wasn’t a big fan of it. But I definitely recommend it to family who are interested. The price is very good but the light plastic feeling wasn’t for me.

    I think the look is nice! I got attracted from the colors. I honestly like the cord controllers more than the wireless. My son loves his controller and said it’s his new favorite controller!

    Great controller for smaller hands but the cord could definitely be a bit longer. Be sure you're comfortable with the cord since we live in a world of wireless devices.

    Much better option for an adult instead of using those joycons. The only downside is that you are only able to have one controller plugged in at once so make you sure you buy a style that you like.
