    Works amazingly well for a $5 controller. I think it’s missing some features like HD rumble, gyro aiming, and nfc but I personally never use those features. The only real downside to me is the lack of waking the console with the home button. But for $5 this is an excellent deal.

    So I got these for my daughter for Xmas, but haven't really used them. Until the JoyCons malfunctioned. I sent them off to be repaired, and this works great. The 10ft. cable it comes with allows us to sit on the couch and play. Paid 24.99 for it during Black Friday!

    Yeah it’s wired, but man it’s also cheep to add a 3rd or 4th player in Mario Kart, we use it all the time, has a cord with a great length, so you don’t have to be “the one on the floor” while everyone else is wireless on the couch! Bought during lockdown, and we have became obsessed with Mario kart again!

    These are great controllers for the price. They have very usably long cords which negates the lack of wireless mobility. They are not the primary controllers, and perhaps that is why they've tested the time. But I've had them for a while, and they've lasted. I've been happy with them.

    This is a solid controller if you are looking for something cheap to use and don't mind being wired. When docked my switch is close enough that this is a non-issue. Controls are responsive, and it feels fine. There is no rumble and obviously at this price, no wireless. If that doesn't bother you, this is a great cheap solution.

    I’m an Xbox gamer so this controller fits like a glove! The sensitivity of the sticks is lower and stiffer than the joy cons which gives greater control especially when playing fortnite! The cord is plenty long and is great for long gaming sessions because it doesn’t need to be charged. The price is also great!

    The buttons aren’t as loud as people say they are. If you have sensitivity to the would of clicking I’d suggest spending the extra money getting the wireless as that one is much quieter. The cord is really 10 ft long and that’s a huge plus. I would recommend this if you connect the switch to a screen often as the buttons are much larger than the switch’s. The triggers are definitely not as sensitive as I would like. But they do well for a just under 20$ controller. If you don’t want or don’t have the extra money to spend on the pro controller this is very much worth the buy.

    Purchased for a friend who was itching for a spare controller, but didn't want to purchase another set of joycons. So far, he is very pleased with the responsiveness of the controller. When I play, I love the size and feel of the controller, as I am very used to the XBOX controller size and button placements.

    Obviously wired, not sure why it detaches, that confused me. But the cord is long, so depending on your set up, it could work. The grip works well, nothing to complain about really. It is also relatively cheap in comparison to the other controllers, so that is nice.

    You never have to charge this controller since it plugs into the switches USB port. Comfortable in your hands and the buttons press with ease. I would recommend this controller to anyone that needs a wired controller for Switch one.

    Love this controller because I like the feel of the larger one instead of the joy con ones. I use this to play with my son instead of the little original controllers. The cable is also quite long, so I just connect it to a usb extension.
