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.

    I don’t think this remote is wireless. I got it for my son but he has not figured out how to use it. Think it’s because it has to be plugged into device. May need to return it and get the wireless ones.

    I bought this controller thinking it would Be long enough for me to sit on the couch, it was not. I would recommend spend the extra money and invest in the Switch Pro Controller, as it is wireless and rechargeable.

    Decent controller that is also compatible with my PS3, so I'm content! My only issue is that the connection between the controller and the wire will sometimes come loose and disconnect.

    The grips are ok but not great, the buttons feel ok but not great, and the sticks have already started wearing out after a few months of moderate use (avg 1 hr / day.) Decent cheap controller especially if on sale.

    Bought this controller for my son. It stopped working for a while. I don't know if it was a connection issue or it wasn't communicating with the Nintendo switch system. Then one day it started working.

    This controller is average at best. The hardware is cheap and really doesn't last long, you are better off with the regular controllers . slow lag response time as well

    Less than a month in, and the drift is here

    I bought this controller about three weeks ago and I'm already having major drift issues with the left stick. I didn't even use it for the first week I had it because I was still waiting for my Switch to arrive. So two weeks of (admittedly moderate to heavy) use means that every now and then Link (BOTW) moves forward at a stumbling snail's pace instead of full speed or tries to walk towards the camera when the stick is in neutral position. I can fiddle with the stick for a minute to get it back to working for another hour or so before it starts up again. Some might argue that you get what you pay for in this controller, but I went with this controller because even the much more expensive Nintendo Pro controllers have complaints about drift issues. I figured that if I was unlucky enough to get a problem controller, then at least I wouldn't have paid $60 or more for it. I still expected this to last at least 3-4 months. There is a two-year manufacture's warranty apparently, so I may try to work with that, but other's have complained that it's a mess of a company to work with. I will likely give this controller another go (I need to get one before the drift renders my current one unusable) just because it's a quarter of the price of the pro and I don't want to throw extra money towards a controller with similar known issues.

    I can not recommend this product. Very uncomfortable and cheap. Even with the low cost better off going with something else. The way the buttons press to the overall comfortablity very poor. Fully functional though.

    I used this for a while with my Switch but recently bought an adapter so I could use my Xbox controller instead. I found the Xbox controller to be more familiar. Just my opinion.

    Its an okay controller. I don't like it for playing smash because the sticks are way too big. Prefer the pro controller stick size.

    3 out of 5 stars because the controller buttons make a lot of noise... Over all it isn’t a bad product. You get what you pay for...
