I am a huge fan of these controllers for playing Smash Bros Ultimate competitively. The only gripe I have is that they always start drifting with heavy usage. I have not found a controller I like better so I currently just keep buying them when one gets to be unbearable.
The overall feel is so much more comfortable than PowerA's newer controllers or "enhanced" and the feature of it being only wired is a plus in large tournament settings. The weight feels great and the large sticks feel very nice especially when it comes to using the C-stick (secondary joystick). I still prefer this controller over the official pro controller however, if you need motion controls or haptic feedback then this controller is not for you.
Would highly recommend but be wary that it will start to drift eventually.

Not knowing too much about this my son really said it works great. he really likes having the actual controller rather than the switch controllers when hooked up to the TV. Only problem is it's not wireless but you'd need to pay for that if you want that feature. For the price...it's worth it.

This was actually better quality that I expected. I love the design on the controller. The only complaint I had is I don't feel the wire is long enough. I have to sit way to close to the tv to use. Great as an extra controller, I would be annoyed if it was my main controller.

I was looking to purchase the joy-cons but ended up buying the wired controller, way less expensive! Works fine, but when setting up for the first time, it was a tad hard to connect the cable to the controller; had to force it in so it would work correctly.

Very good controller. The cord is longer than I expected. Easy to setup and pair to the console. Only downside is that it’s wired. It feels good in the hands and buttons are responsive.

Sometimes the switch controllers are too tiny in your hands for gamers you want to feel the actual controller. This one is awesome, my only tiny problem I wish the cord was a bit longer.

Mine has problems with the left joystick sometimes but other than that it works just fine. I have been able to fix the joystick problem by unplugging it and plugging it back in the switch.

This controller is awesome. The fit is easy better for my bigger hands than using the small joypads it came with. Down on the joystick kinda got stuck for a bit but seems to have corrected itself

This controller is an affordable alternative to the the wireless pro controller and the joy-con. It works great if you don't mind having the wire. The wire is long enough for one to play comfortably in most living rooms and bedrooms.

So happy I bought this remote when I bought my Nintendo. I can have friends come over and play with multiple players. It’s also easier to grip than the little controllers that come with the Nintendo. Definitely worth the splurge!

Inexpensive but of good enough quality. I guess it's even better than the original joy cons in terms of quality. The joysticks on those get messed up quickly.

Easy to use and has a good feel in the grips. Cord long enough to reach couch. No problems and have had it for a month and use it every day for at least two hours.

This controller is good if you don't want to fork out $50 for the pro controller for the switch. It works fine, but 10 ft isn't as long as it sounds.

This is nice to have when playing the Switch on a TV -instead of on the hand held system. The cordless is a bit nicer to have but this one is less expensive. Works well.

I bought this controller for my daughters but have yet to open it. The cost of it was very reasonable compared to others, so for that I give it 4 stars.

So much cheaper than the wireless controller! They're very good for kids that have no problem sitting on the floor for long periods of time. The controller itself works very well.

Great controller alternative for the switch. If you are looking for an additional controller than you need to check this out. Cost half less than the other switch controllers.
