This two pack is a budget wireless controller set for Switch and Switch 2 that seems aimed at casual play and kids. The smaller, lighter shape is comfortable for some hands, gyro works, and the price makes it easy to hand out or replace. The tradeoffs are clear, though, with no rumble, no NFC or amiibo support, no hall effect sticks, and reports that it cannot wake the console. PC support also looks shaky, and the included cable count is only one for the pair.

Common Questions (5)

  • It is about 17% smaller than a standard Pro Controller and several buyers found it a good cheap option for kids. Others found it too small and returned it, so fit depends on hand size.

  • No. It does not wake the console by pressing the Home button, and it is effectively a Switch 1-style controller that works with Switch 2 rather than a full Switch 2 wake-capable pad.

  • It has no rumble and no NFC/amiibo reader, and it is not Hall effect. The upside is a lower price and a smaller, lighter form factor that can be easier for kids or smaller hands.

  • It is listed for Windows and can be used with Steam Input as a Switch-style controller, but it may not present as XInput by default. One report says it did not work in Steam on Windows even in wired mode, despite the manual claiming wired PC play.

  • No. The 2-pack includes only one cable, so you may need a second cable if you want to charge both controllers at the same time.

Right, it's literally the worst site I have ever used.

Especially pathetic for a tech site.

YouTube reviews seem to tear these apart......Input lag, have to initially sync with cable and bad button feel. I'm not speaking from personal experience but was considering picking them up. I'm taking a pass.

In for 1. Annoyed the old Switch 1 Pro controllers can't "wake up" the console by pressing the home button. It looks like this should be able to do it otherwise will return if not.

Edit: looks like it cannot wake the console by pressing the home button. Going to return.
Thanks for the heads up...

How in the actual F does anybody shop at worst buy?
Their app and web site sucks so bad it's even worse than 90's dial up.
Neither the website nor the app are even useable at all.
Been trying to manage my cart for a half hour now
I just give up just like I gave up trying to use my $10 rewards cert
It takes literally a month to browse 10 pages it's such garbage
You literally have no idea how to use "literally" in a sentence 🤣

Yes, especially since they are smaller in size that might be beneficial for them

I was going to say that, I saw one review where the guy is so negative it is comical. These controllers must have killed his dog or something.

I got these and happy with them for the price. Wireless and every function including gyro, just not rumble is great for $15. Especially good for giving to kids and not caring if they break them. Lightweight and slightly smaller but comfortable size and finish. Buttons and sticks feel fine to me, just not heavier or solid like some more expensive ones might be. Haven't noticed any lag with a few games I tried, but I'm not a competitive gamer. I synced one with the cable, but when I tried the second one it worked just by holding down the home button at the switch change grip order screen, which I think is what the instructions say to do. The 2 pack only comes with 1 cable though if anyone cares.
