Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the quality, ease of use, and generous cord length of the Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2. Many appreciate its comfortable feel, similar to an Xbox controller, and its compatibility with the Nintendo Switch. While the wired connection is a drawback for some, others appreciate the lack of battery charging and drift issues.

    My son desperately needed a new controller so I bought him this 1 and he couldn't be happier. My son told me that he loves the feel of this controller, it's super durable, and the buttons are strong.

    Cheaper control with good length of wire (10ft). Just be aware theres no vibrations. But it does what it needs to do and cheaper than some of the other controllers

    I just got a nintendo and i personally hate the joycons because it feels to small for my hand. I bought this to play other games and i enjoy its size and how well it feels. I dont even care that its a wire controller i love it going to buy another in a few weeks.

    At such a cheap price this controller was amazing. Connects right to my nintendo wired with about no input delay. Buttons feel smooth.

    if you are getting input lag from playing with wireless controllers, this right here is a nice easy fix for you. The USB wire is very long so you can play from the couch if it isn't too far. You can also disconnect the wire from the controller.

    I bought this Power A controller for $19.99 and I have not been disappointed. It is corded, however at 10 feet long it allows for ample playing room. The controls are nicely responsive and much appreciated in many games such as Breath of the Wild and Doom.

    Its wired so your kind of limited on usage and play. But for the price and functionality it works great a must buy for a fraction of the price.

    Controller works great. The cable is long and comes with a Velcro tape. However, the controller is pretty bulky. The joy-sticks are bigger than I’d expect but I suppose it’s just some getting used to. Overall a great product.

    You get what you pay for. The wired controller was much lower price than other controllers. However, it had no indicator lights and no vibration function. It would not connect to our Switch and it should have automatically once plugged in.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
    • Brand response from PowerA Team
      Posted .

      Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear about your experience with the Wired Controller. We understand how frustrating it is when the controller does not connect as expected.

      Please note that this model does not include vibration or player indicator lights, and it connects through a wired USB connection rather than pairing wirelessly. We recommend trying a different USB port on the dock, ensuring the console is updated, and confirming the cable is fully secured.

      If it still does not connect, please share your proof of purchase so we can review your warranty options and assist further. You may also submit a support request here: https://www.powera.com/support/submit-case-request/ powera-alpine

    The controller works great! It's not wireless, and doesn't support motion controls or amiibo. We bought a couple for playing Mario Kart multi-player, and they do a great job.

    Purchased this instead of wireless controller because my laptop is horrible in Bluetooth pairing. This controller is quite affordable comparing to other $60ish products but still have good functioning.
