    Worth it at discount. Long cable but feels a bit light plastic. No rumble if that’s a deal breaker. Buttons work fine so giving it 5/5 for value.

    Was having hand cramps using the joy-cons in the controller handle when playing for 1hr+. Decided to try this wired controller. Definitely solved my hand cramps. Also, its pretty cheap to just have another controller if you want to play multiplayer games. My only complain its that its pretty light and when you are playing certain button smashers like smash brothers, its can be a little annoying that it feels like I'm smashing s sheet of paper rather than a controller. But I wont knock a star because I knew it was the baseline controller.

    Really worth the purchase. Holding the Switch game system in your hand can feel heavy after long game play. I use a stand and the wired controller which is light weight and easier for me to control my switch handheld game. You will need to purchase a usb-c adapter to the switch lite to fit into the port for the wired controller. I would recommend this accessory to folks/kids who have a Switch lite.

    D Pad

    As much as I like the Official Pro Controller, the D Pad is not the best on it. The D Pad on this controller however is much better and it's been my go-to for 2D platformers and etc. Does not feel as premium as the Pro Controller, but it's not as expensive either. Worth the purchase.

    Controller works great, cable could be longer but it does have good length as is so it is not really a problem. I bought this because wireless is so expensive and it comes with a long cable and there is no need for batteries or recharging the controller.

    You can’t go wrong with this controller. My daughter wanted to play games with me so I picked this up for our Switch. I actually like that it is wired because it reminds me of when I was a kid playing Nintendo. Plus it comes with a log cord.

    This controller worked well, but I did return after quickly realizing that the wired controller just wasn't for me. It also felt very lightweight and cheap. But for the price and for a basic device, it's good enough.

    Wanted to grab some additional switch controller's. Once I opened the box I immediately did not like the way these guys felt. Super light and felt very fragile. But that is 20$ dollars controller's for you. These are great for kids. Wouldn't recommend for a more than average gamer.

    Cheaper and more functional than the straight branded Switch controllers. We go through controllers fairly regularly from heavy play and this is a good balance between price point and durability.

    It's a great controller for playing games while the switch is in dock mode. I prefer to use wired controllers and this controller is reasonable in price.

    This remote was a great purchase. My 6 and 8 year old found it very easy to use. They prefer to use this remote over the ones that came with the system. Great buy and price point.

    Awesome and I prefer holding a controller with both hands for most games. The only downside is that it is not wireless but the cord is very long.
