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.

    We’ve purchased a couple different wired controllers for the switch and this one by far is the best. It’s almost an exact version of the the pro wireless controller in terms of quality and feel.

    Controller that the kids can be a little rough with and not feel bad if they ruin it. Solid little controllers though. Would like more if the cord was permanently attached.

    Works amazingly well for a $5 controller. I think it’s missing some features like HD rumble, gyro aiming, and nfc but I personally never use those features. The only real downside to me is the lack of waking the console with the home button. But for $5 this is an excellent deal.

    This is fully compatible with pc and is very easy to use with the latest steam update. No 3rd party apps are required unless using a different launcher.

    Thjs Nintendo Switch controller is easy to use. The controller had a long convenient cord to plug into the Nintendo Switch to play games. This controller is a lot cheaper than the wireless controller.

    Love this controller because I like the feel of the larger one instead of the joy con ones. I use this to play with my son instead of the little original controllers. The cable is also quite long, so I just connect it to a usb extension.

    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.

    Handling the Switch Joycons are not always easy. Having this controller makes playing games easier. I also like having at least one wired controller so I don't have to charge all the time. I also liked the price as most controllers run from $29 and up.

    Love this, got tired of the drift from the joy cons. Economical, easy to use, and comes with a long cable so you don’t have to worry about controller battery or charging it. Will need to buy another one for player 2.

    Great Budget Controller for the Casual Player/Kids

    Since I casually play at home and I have bigger hands, something bigger than the standard joy cons plus cheap was something I was looking for. The controller feels a bit cheap but still very sturdy. If you dont mind not having a wireless control and want to save a buck, I recommend this controller. It wont win any awards but with it going on sale occasionally for $10 its a great addition to any Switch users accessory pool.
