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.

    Absolutely necessary due to joycon drift from the switch. Cord is long enough to sit comfortably on the couch and play. Only down side is no rumble.

    I never actually used it, I didn't realize I bought the wired version so before I left the store I returned it and got the unwired one which is excellent

    Its a great controller. Cord is long and was an easy setup as can be. I personally like it better then the wireless, but to each his own.

    I purchased this for my MacBook and it works seamlessly!! Controls are great, feels good in the hands, and the included chord is long enough. My only gripe is that you can’t use a regular micro usb cable bc Nintendo has a little groove indent that a normal cable can’t pass. Lame, but then again the controller is only twenty bux.

    Yes, it did break eventually, one of the sticks became loose (still works, but is a struggle). But for the price, and considering it put up with a lot of use and abuse before it did break, I don’t regret it at all - bought two of these so far, one lasted longer than the other, both were worth it

    Not a bad wired controller. While this isn’t a pro controller, it does the job when you want to be able to use a controller similar to it. The only complaints I have really is the buttons beating a little on the stiffer side, but it’s all good for most players in my opinion
