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 had it for 3 months one of the buttons is not working that well. You don’t even press on it and it works by itself.

    The controller itself feels kinda cheap and the analog sticks are not well calibrated so using the analog sticks can be very inaccurate.

    If you need an extra wired controller this works, but the large analog stick buttons make it feel cheap.

    Not bad. We bought this for a certain reason to connect to the actual console, not what we expected.

    I would recommend buying a wireless controller as opposed to the wired one, if it being wired is really a concern the wireless ones are able to be connected with no issues. Being that the system is portable and pulling on the controller/wire will cause the system to go flying. This is not a good thing for such an expensive and small system.

    Good Remote - Bad Cord

    I had bought this controller about 8 months ago and it works great. A few months ago I lost the usb cable that connects the controller to the console. Normally this would not be an issue, but the USB adapter in the controller is built with a specific notch so that not just any usb cord is compatible with the remote.
