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.

    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

      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

    This is a great alternative to a pro controller. While it is wired, the cord is very long. The buttons are very responsive.

    I did not like that you have to purchase a adapter in order to use this remote but once I purchases it the remote worked great.

    It’s cheap, and wires can be irritating, but for 20 you get what you pay for. It’s a good option if you want to save money.
