I have always wondered about new controllers that are wired but I didnt know the cord would be so long! This corded nintendo controller made it possible for me to game from my sofa and not worry about the cord not being long enough. My inner child is happy!

Found this item on clearance whilst picking up my Switch 2! It serves its purpose. The buttons are sturdy. The cord length is good, although the cord doesnt want to stay straight, causing a risk of pulling the switch off the shelf.

This controller worked great with games like Zelda BOTW and Smash, which was the reason I bought it. However, as soon as I started using it, being consistently wired brought its limitations. I have two big dogs and them running around the couch while this controller is being used led to some butt clenching moments when they almost yanked the system off the entertainment system. The few times this happened was the last straw and I coughed up the money to buy the wireless version. Definitely worth the money in upgrade to being wireless. If you don't have these issues and don't mind being wired while playing or your prefer it, then this controller works great.

Best analogy I can offer is 2% milk. It's milk and it does the body good, but you really wanted the whole fatty stuff.
It's light, it won't rumble, it has a chord, it won't turn the system on, it won't read your prized Mario Amiibo. The buttons, triggers, and sticks don't feel like the premium Pro Controller.
But it does the one thing you really need it for: plays Smash Ultimate quicker than any of the wireless controllers. If you want that much more response to beat Chad, then you should pick up one of these. That is, if you're too young to have a GameCube controller and 4-port adapter lying around. It's also a third of the cost.
The 10' chord's removable for storage, but otherwise you have a piece of plastic if it's lost.
Recommended, but as a back-up/default.

It was a really good controller. It worked really well for a wired controller. It was definitely worth The price, ($5). But my kids did start to trip on the chord and it wasn't really that long but overall it was definitely worth it.

We have bought three of these controllers from Best buy. They are a great quality and our boys love using them to play their video games. Each time we went to get another controller they were always on sale.

Being a third party controller I was worried about it feeling cheap. But it is licensed by Nintendo. And it feels just fine in the hands. It does have a cable which does limit you a little bit, but the cable is pleasantly long enough for most rooms. I like that the cable can be removed from the controller and replaced with a different one if you need to. Don’t let the removable cable fool you, it is not wireless and will not work without the cable.

Great value and functional for docked play - We use this mostly for smash and some other couch co-op/couch competitive games, and it works just fine. Cannot beat the value.

I've purchased these before, they are pretty good and work quite well. The controller lasts a really long time. I still have the first one I purchased and just needed another one since some of my family can be a little rough on their joy cons and wireless controllers.

Feel and Quality of the controller in nice. Not wireless. The USB wire is longer, so you can sit further back more. I wanted this because I do not have to wait for the controller to charge when battery is drained. The draw back is this controller does not have the motion sensors, like the Joy Cons. Can not use this with games where you need to tilt the controller.

I am an esports teacher in middle school. These get used all the time. I have purchased 7 so far. I buy them when they are on sell for a good price. Good value and good quality. Not one failure. I purchased the first one over a year ago.

This does not have motion control & is not wireless but is a solid and cheap choice if you just need a controller for your switch console. My kids (and myself sometimes) have a habit of breaking the joycons so this is a great option for most of the games they play (Minecraft, Mario Maker, Odessey, Sonic & Mario Olympics) which I'm less worried about breaking.

Needed to be able to add more players when we have family gatherings. It was a good way to be able to do that without spending a lot for something that was not going to be used daily. The controller works well and even plays better when you are used to having the gaming controllers vs. the switch controller. My kids prefer the gaming controller, even though it is wired. Makes the games more enjoyable for them.
