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.

    Solid wired controller for the Switch. If you want an alternative to the joy con controllers, this is excellent. I actually like the way this sits in my hands better than the joy cons. Cord length is just fine.

    I purchased this back in September 2022, and I must say this controller hasn’t let me down yet. It feels much better than playing with the JoyCon controllers.

    Good controller for the money. Good size, similar to an xbox controller. I cannot use the small “half” Controllers the console comes with. Only drawback is the cord...but I knew that would be an issue when I bought it. It is nice to not have to worry about batteries but the cord is restrictive.

    I bought these controllers mainly to use playing retro video games on the Raspberry Pi and they work great. I have not even used them on the Nintendo Switch. I bet they would work great though as they function great with the Raspberry Pi using retro pi and some ROMs.

    I purchased this controller for my son as an alternative to the joy con to play Fornite on the Nintendo Switch. It took a little while for him to get use to it, but he now prefers to use this controller over the joy con controllers to play fortnite.

    For the price, you can’t beat it! Having big hands, the controllers that come with the system were hard for me to use and uncomfortable. The lady at Best Buy recommended this controller and has been perfect for use well over a year thus far.

    I’m an Xbox gamer so this controller fits like a glove! The sensitivity of the sticks is lower and stiffer than the joy cons which gives greater control especially when playing fortnite! The cord is plenty long and is great for long gaming sessions because it doesn’t need to be charged. The price is also great!

    Picked this up on sale for the kiddos to use. Don’t expect super quality. But if you’re looking for a spare controller for “player 2” and don’t want to spend a lot of money I see this as a good purchase. No amiibo reader and not wireless! But comes with a wired cable.
