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.

    I wanted a cheap controller for when we play multiplayer games. This controller fits adult hands better than the mini wireless controllers.

    GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO JOYCONS

    These were bought due to the known drifter issue with the analog stick. I've tested and tried numerous methods but nothing worked and decided to go along with traditional full-sized style controllers instead of the tiny Joycons. Still waiting for Nintendo's repair center to open to either replace or repair my drifting Joycon.

    We use this controller on our Switch and PC. Just plug and play. This controller will work on Steam after some configuration.

    Got this for $20 instead of $70 for the Nintendo pro controller. It works just fine though occasionally I feel like I have to press a button extremely hard to work. Overall not bad for the price!

    It is a wired only controller that must be plugged into the switch dock when playing on a television.

    Very good product for the price. I use this more than the joy cons since it doesn’t require a charge and the wire is very long.

    For the ones with younger kids who are just learning how to play or old school Nintendo fans this is a must. Helps getting used to the smaller controllers easier.

    I think the Nintendo Wireless controller is the best on the market but it is very expensive for what it is. If you want a similar but lighter feeling option, pick these up.

    The buttons feel a bit clunky, but the response To any input is immediate and the cable is long enough that you can play from a comfortable distance. For the price, that’s really good.

    Prefer the Wire

    Wireless is not worth the price. The cord on the controller is plenty long enough at nearly 8 ft. The coating on the cord is susceptible to pealing as it gets twisted.
