This item is listed as a WIRELESS controller however it does not work unless you have the wire plugged in. The wire is detachable from the controller but it does not have Bluetooth capability to connect to your switch. ONLY RATING 3 STARS BECAUSE BEST BUY LISTED THE ITEM INCORRECTLY AND IT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

No programmable buttons, have to be close enought to the console to be plugged in, you can hear every loud click when you push buttons. But it beats the price of a pro controller, won't die on you while your playing, and still gets the job done.

When these go on sale its always the best time to stock up they dont last long but most switch controllers tend to be limited use

I came here to say this is listed as a wireless controllee but it is not, its wires. I see all the other reviews say this too, hopefully someone else looks at the reviews before buying.

Ordered this and received a wired controller, verified at a store that the listing is wrong. A wireless controller doesn’t exist for this model.

I thought this was a wireless controller, but it isn't. It works great, though.
