  • A: It comes with a cable and It doesn't take batteries its charge by plugging it in the Nintendo Switch dock.

    submitted byHarrison - 5 years ago
  • A: Don’t lose the charging cable! The charging port is recessed for some inexplicable reason and most standard micro USB cables don’t fit down into the recess. Poor design. Other than that the controller works well.

    Controller works pretty well and looks great. Just dont lose the micro USB charging cable, the charging port is frustratingly designed with this deep rectangular hole so that only their specific cable will fit into it, and I lost mine for a while and couldnt charge it. Battery kinda sucks too.

    I don’t give this product a 0 because it’s not an option. I don’t leave reviews on products but i am on this one because it is terrible. I bought it 5 months ago and not even a month later the left joystick started moving on its own in the game i play. Now the right joystick works when ever it wants to, i play Minecraft and when i want to punch sometimes it’ll punch sometimes it won’t. Before getting this one i ordered the same one on amazon and it came with stick drift. That’s why i decided to get it in person from target. It’s to late to return it now but at least im warning someone else.

    It’s a good controller, but it’s kind of laggy with my switch. The back plate also being buttons is kind of inconvenient as well.

    Drifts pretty badly

    2 out of 5 stars
    Gaming mom - 8 months ago
    The joy sticks have big gaps between them and in the controller, so debris gets trapped inside pretty easily making it drift. So unless you’re good at taking controllers apart to clean them out, I don’t recommend. And the buttons on the bottom kind of get in the way.

    It’s pretty and all, but it does not last very long. Ours only lasted a year and there’s a two-year warranty and it’s not being acknowledged In it clearly states in the description that it has a two-year warranty we’ve only had ours for a year and no longer works like completely dead for whatever reason .

    This controller after 2 years has finally gave out and has stopped charging. The cord stopped working around six months ago and I have had to use a separate cord. It feels great in my hands, and the two programmable buttons are integrated well. It is also surprisingly durable, it got crushed by a car and it still worked amazingly. I am going to continue buying more, especially because of the price.

    PDP have Horrible Products and even worst Warranty Policies. I bought 3 of these controllers and all these of them are getting stuck buttons, as if the plastic within them is cheap. I tried to go through their warranty policy with each controller, 3 seperate controllers, 3 seperate excuses of why they wouldn't back up their defective products. 1st controller Stuck Y button 2nd controller Stuck B button 3rd controller Stuck A button. (unfortunately I disassembled and clean this one to assure it wasn't anything on my end, which obviously voided the warranty for the 3rd product)
