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.

    They are very cheap feeling but you get what you pay for. They still work so that’s a plus. They also Were not very expensive and they have very long cords so charging a wireless controller becomes a moot point

    I have little to no complaints of this. Button layout is pretty intuitive and fits my hands pretty well. No button stick or joystick lags. Only thing I would want is the cord to be a little bit longer so it would reach the couch, but I guess that is what the wireless version is for.

    Purchased this as an extra controller for my Nintendo switch. Works well and buttons are of decent quality. Only complaint is connecting to back of switch dock which is a slight annoyance but not necessarily a fault of the controller. Overall good controller for the price.

    Great option to have when people who DONT play videogames come over and want to play casually. OR Good option for 6 yr old son who likes to throw the controller. Smash this one, not my pro controller!

    Decided to pick this controller up because my kids kept forgetting to charge the main controller and it was always dead. That is no longer a problem! This controller obviously never needs charging and is comfortable to hold too ! Great alternative.

    We needed a second controller so both my kids could play on the TV, and this one has been great. Another perk that’s not listed is that the wire can detach and be used in to charge the switch/switch lite.

    Basic controller, but comfortable to use. Wired connection is micro-usb which is unfortunate but it does have support at the connection so unlikely it will come loose or wear out.

    I had purchased one earlier. Lasted a couple of years but the wire started coming undone. This one seemed a lot slower. So I used the wire and hooked up the older one. Winning again!

    Great controller but some games require the more expensive pro controller. I prefer this type, and am disappointed that the games that allow this controller still say pro needed, so you can't really tell ahead of time which will work with it.

    The controller is comfortable to use, similar to the older xbox 360 controllers, probably why I like it so much. The pads are a little stiffer than the ones that come with the switch, so a heads up there. But a nice controller when you are on a budget.

    The PowerA controller is the controller to go to when the tiny joysticks and buttons of the joy-cons just don't cut it. Also since its wired you don't have to worry about having to charge it.

    Great reasonably priced extra controller for having friends over to play Mario cart. Not 5 stars because it is kinda too light in the hands and the cord can easily lead to falling Switches on the floor (luckily not damaged)...

    when playing while tethered the cord is a little short, so I went wireless, played for about 90 minutes, battery life was fine, lost sync 2 times cord length is about 5-6 feet, that's kinda close when playing on a 50+ inch television
