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.

    Looks cool with Samus Aran on it. Just started using it on 1/5/22 after buying it on 11/12/21. Could have been better, no vibrations, feels kinda cheap like i can break it if i press the buttons fast or hard enough. Could've been at least wireless but it does have a long wire which I'm afraid that either 1 of my 4 cats or my pitbull are gonna bite it.

    It’s such a cute controller and works well. It’s actually more kid friendly when it comes to playing other games. The only thing is that it is not wireless. It’s just up to what you would like. I’m sure it works just as well as a wireless. Will be returning.

    It got mushy buttons out of nowhere (for the ABXY part), literally with a day of light use. I got another model that didn't have the same problem with more days and usage

    this is a great controller!! not only is the design super cute but it functions perfectly and makes a LOT of my Switch games so much easier to play; i only use the "joy-con" stick controllers that originally came with my Switch to play Tetris 99 now lol, everything else I play using this controller since it's much more familiar to me and easier to use (especially for games like Splatoon). it doesn't have rumble/vibration functions built-in, but that doesn't personally bother me at all, and the product information mentioned the lack of rumble, so i was aware of that before buying, anyways. would definitely recommend it to others!

    I remember being a kid and not being able to afford a lot of gaming stuff as a kid. So I would have to get a third party controller such as MadKatz or something similar and it was just terrible, and was a reminder of being poor. However with that said, my parents did their best and I love them for it and always will. This controller I got for $18.00, and it looks amazing. The design looks beautiful and it’s a solid controller, the box it comes in is beautiful and it’s something to be proud of. For all those kids out there and adults too just know this is a fantastic controller. Plus kudos to Nintendo and Power A for making affordable and nice looking third party controllers.

    I haven't used this controller yet. But I have a similar one for Xbox. Same brand and very similar design. I have to say I'm impressed by how they feel. They feel sturdy, great in your hands and made of quality materials. They are very light and only feel slightly heavier when connected to the wire due to being a wired controller obviously. Besides that it's an excellent product. The design and colors with the Mario character upfront makes it stand out. Even if at some point the controller no longer functions or works it could be kept as a collectible. Really nice and cute. You can not beat the price. Affordable yet not cheap in functionality, and or construction. It looks awesome.

    We needed a second controller for the switch and for the price this one was perfect. My son loves Pokemon now so the design was a great option. The cord is long enough for when he is playing on the TV and hasnt tangled up yet.

    Great product! Joysticks feel smooth along with the other buttons. It also has buttons in the back of the controller which allow you to adjust the controls for a better gameplay experience. It feels comfortable while holding also. The USB cable also fits perfectly in the controller so you dont have to worry about it getting loose or something like a PS4 controller. The design also is amazing. Huge Zelda fan since a child. The gold compliments the black and whites. I am fully satisfied with this product and i do recommend.

    I was so excited to try this controller out. I got over the corded part, as it had plenty of length to work with my room's layout. When I say this controller "felt cheap," I mean that it can't possibly be more than $1 worth of plastic and internals to make this controller. The best way I can explain/warn people of just how cheap this controller feels, I handed it to my wife, who had a visible reaction to it and how lightweight/cheap it felt to her. All of this to say if you can get past the cheap feeliny, it's a very function and stylish controller.

    Bought this as a gift for the gf, must say she loved it. Anyone that is a Pokémon fan would love this. The control is responsive, long reach wire 10', and as well light weight. Easy to get adjusted, although it is not battery power so it cannot be used as wireless.

    The PowerA Wired Controller for Switch is a Mario-themed gamepad that's: ** Plug & Play:** No setup, just grab and game! ** Familiar Feel:** Buttons are where you expect, Mario moves like a dream. ** Comfy Grips:** Perfect for long gaming sessions. ️ Secret Weapon Buttons: Map them for epic combos. Headset Hero:** Plug in and immerse yourself in the game. Wallet-Friendly:** Won't break the bank. ** Not-So-Good:** ❌ Wired: No wireless freedom. No Rumble or Motion:** Feels basic. Built Light: Might not survive intense gaming. Mushy D-pad:** Precision platforming can be tricky. Mario Only:** Not for everyone. the cord is not interchangable and so the controller won't last long ** Verdict:** A fun, affordable option for casual Switch fans, especially Mario enthusiasts. Not for hardcore players or those seeking bells and whistles.
