    Remote had glitchy connection with Switch in less than a month after purchasing. No hard usage or wear on remote or wire, it just stopped functioning properly. It disconnects on its own frequently. I don’t have this problem with any other controller that is connected wirelessly (even though this one is wired).

    EB - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I purchased this controller for my sons to have a reliable wired controller as a backup for their wireless controllers. Within a short amount of time, the controller showed drift and non-responsive behavior. I unfortuantely read the negative reviews online AFTER my purchase. I saw they were on sale and decided to give it another try. Second controller wiring started to come loose AND exhibited the same drift behavior as the first defective one. Lesson learned!
