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.

    The controller is great for casual players, but if you are planning to play smash bros competitively for example, you'll get stick drift in about 3 months.

    We really like these expecially for the price. If you have a switch you know the little joysticks go bad quick. The only option is to go to a controller. The wireless are wicked expensive so we tried these. Everyone loves them. Long cord and easy to set up.

    Purchased for a friend who was itching for a spare controller, but didn't want to purchase another set of joycons. So far, he is very pleased with the responsiveness of the controller. When I play, I love the size and feel of the controller, as I am very used to the XBOX controller size and button placements.

    Very good value for the money, works well, comfortable to hold. The only downside is that it is wired (as advertised), but the wire is long enough to use comfortably.

    You get what you pay for. The wired controller was much lower price than other controllers. However, it had no indicator lights and no vibration function. It would not connect to our Switch and it should have automatically once plugged in.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    overall its a good gamepad, comes with a really long cable and feels like a Xbox controller. very light but works well enough and recommended for games like smash and others where you don't like the joy cons

    It's nothing special and if you want the best experience, probably get the Pro controller, but for the price it's pretty good and will serve great as a Player 2 controller whenever someone comes over.

    Bought 2 of these controllers to use the switch as a family. Very nice design and no issue with lagging. I’ve found myself using these instead of the normal switch controller. Came with a very nice 10ft cable with attached Velcro strap for storage. Definitely recommend.

    Obviously wired, not sure why it detaches, that confused me. But the cord is long, so depending on your set up, it could work. The grip works well, nothing to complain about really. It is also relatively cheap in comparison to the other controllers, so that is nice.

    At such a cheap price this controller was amazing. Connects right to my nintendo wired with about no input delay. Buttons feel smooth.

    The control looks good and works well, the cable is long enough so the distance is not in front of the television, it leaves some space to move and does not need batteries which is a plus for me, not so much for my son.

    It's not top of the line, so don't expect perfection. It is a good little budget option as an extra controller to keep on hand, but I would not use it as a daily main use controller.

    This wired controller is a great, cheaper alternative to joy cons or the Pro Controller if you dont mind the wire. The wire is 10 feet long which is very nice. Just as responsive as the joy cons. Only sownside is that this controller does not have gyroscope in it.

    The controllers are pleasing to the eye with its solid matte black color. This remote controller has amazing features such as the X, Y, A and B buttons. On a serious note, the cord is a nice length to allow you to sit in the nose bleed seats and still play.

    Cheaper control with good length of wire (10ft). Just be aware theres no vibrations. But it does what it needs to do and cheaper than some of the other controllers

    My son desperately needed a new controller so I bought him this 1 and he couldn't be happier. My son told me that he loves the feel of this controller, it's super durable, and the buttons are strong.
