    Good Remote - Bad Cord

    I had bought this controller about 8 months ago and it works great. A few months ago I lost the usb cable that connects the controller to the console. Normally this would not be an issue, but the USB adapter in the controller is built with a specific notch so that not just any usb cord is compatible with the remote.

    A cheaply made controller for Nintendo Switch. In general it works. It is wired and the buttons work but are a bit clicky. Other than that it is an okay controller for the price.

    Maybe I missed it but I thought this would plug directly into the switch console. It only plugs into the dock. We were having trouble with the switch controllers doing their own thing and thought this would be a solution. It was not!
