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.

    Same controller as the rest. Though I do prefer the wired over the tiny original controller.

    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!

    1st week in to owning this… there was stick drifting while using making the controller unusable. It has been a common issue it seems. This has been returned.

    The controller felt like it could break easily and ran into issues connecting with my switch via plug in. After turning the switch off and back on, I would have to unplug the controller and back in for it to connect.
