Amazing Switch game controller for the price 🤑💰🤑

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020

The PDP 500-134-NA-CM04 Nintendo Switch controller in my opinion is a steal of a deal for what you get.
I tried to post as many photos of the item and its various functions, what the controller can do as far as the face plate and the back plate, also alongside of a PowerA wireless controller so you can see the button layouts and how they differ.
The build quality is pretty good when you hold this controller and you play with the joysticks and the buttons it does not feel like a cheap, or cheaply made controller. I like that the capture button and the home button are far placed where they are because when I would hit the - button during a game I would get an accidental screen shot.
I posted a screenshot of the Settings showing the output as stereo, make sure to get the most out of this product you change that setting from MONO to STEREO.
The 10 foot cord is great to play in docked mode and be at a good distance away from the TV.
The back two buttons are programmable and I haven’t had an issue with hitting those buttons on accident in the heat of gameplay.
The mic works great for gameplay.
The audio will default for the headset when the mic is plugged in.
The function button below the right analog stick is easy to use. You double tap to mute your mic, holding the function button while pressing the back buttons will allow you to program the back buttons.
Holding the function button while pressing the up and down on the D pad will allow you to adjust the volume of your head set independently from the Switch.

Here are the Pros and Cons:

PROS
- Cost
- Length of cord
- Headphone jack with Stereo output and mic support
- Audio from TV will not bother anyone else in the room when the headset is plugged in
- Independent sound volume adjustment
- Back button programmability
- Mic mute function
- For me, I like layout of where the home and screen capture buttons. It seems that I do not accidentally hit them like I did before with the PowerA wireless controller

CONS
- When unplugging or plugging in the mic during gameplay the Switch will always ask you to reconnect your controller
- Some button presses seemed to miss but it’s rare enough that it didn’t effect my rating

I liked this so much I bought a second one for my son.

Game on gamers!

Better value than a Nintendo pro controller, otherwise a just okay product

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

At less than half the price and less than half the stick drift, this is by far preferable to the Nintendo pro imo. Only real issues are that the home button is kinda close to the X button so it's feasible to accidentally hit it at the same time, and the button that allows you to program the extra buttons on the back stopped working suddenly after about a year of owning it, I've definitely dropped it once or twice, but nothing beyond a 2-3 feet, I typically use it for games where you spend a lot of time walking forward, which is what caused both my Nintendo pro controller and my left joycon to get drift, and I haven't gotten any semblance of drift two years on with this controller, so while nothing special being that it's kinda ugly and the peripheral buttons are a little wiggly and weird is still a much better choice of controller than the Nintendo branded version

(EDIT) My hands never gripped a better controller!

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

Whether I'm playing on my Nintendo Switch, or my PC, I've been plugging in this controller since I've bought it.

What I really like a lot is the analog sticks. My thumbs never, I repeat... NEVER slip off of them when using them to move the character/camera, no matter how long I'm gaming.

The overall design is nice too. Holding the controller feels perfect, and the "gritty" type of outer shelling is great so that way your not picking up an oily controller since you used it last time.

It's easy to maintain. Taking the face off is great if you need to clean, replace, and maintain.

(EDIT) I've been using the controller for months now without any problems on my Switch and PC (Steam) games. I even introduced this controller my some of my friends and they love it!

Best wired controller for switch

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021

Really great controller. Build quality is great.
Headphone jack works really well. You are able to mute and control your mic volume with the controller itself. The two mappable buttons/paddles on the back are pretty good. It came with a precision joystick which was really easy to swap and I have been using it a lot. Shipping was fast and the controller was brand new. Definitely recommend it.

Very good for the price, actually does work with PC (Steam)

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019

Controller itself is pretty nice. When comparing it with the Pro Switch Controller, it definitely feels lighter, and the plastic used definitely makes the controller feel "cheaper" (because, well, it is significantly cheaper than the Pro Switch Controller), most notably the top of the analog sticks feel quite different and the buttons sort of press differently, but doesn't make the controller unusable or anything like that. On the Switch, everything works perfectly. The two buttons on the back are bound to both B and X, but these can be remapped easily, and remapping them to themselves essentially disables them (I had to do this since I would hit them accidentally all the time). You can also take the whole back cap off, but that makes the controller kind of awkward to hold.

So I made the assumption that this controller would be compatible with PC, but read the dev response saying it wasn't. However, I was in fact able to connect this to my computer, and it was recognized both in controller emulating software like x360ce, and also it was recognized in Steam. If you go to the Big Picture Controller Settings, you're able to add this controller as a "Generic Controller," and then you can map each button appropriately. I then switched the settings to recognize it as xbox 360 controller (I think), and was able to use the controller to play Rocket League. I also plugged my headset into the controller, and was able to change my audio output and input to the controller in discord, and it worked perfectly. I haven't tested the voice features on switch yet, but I was not able to get the push-to-talk button to work for PC (yet).

I would imagine that if you wanted to get this controller to work on a non-Steam game, you'd probably have to use some sort of emulation software (like x360ce), however I've had a lot of luck just adding games as non-Steam games. Anything run by Steam has full controller support; in fact, I've added the whole Epic Launcher as a non-Steam game, just so I could have the controller support over all Epic titles (including Fortnite). I recommend this route if you plan on using the controller for a non-Steam game.

I'll update my review if I find any issues!

TLDR: Great controller for the price, feels kind of cheap but what can you expect from a significantly lower priced controller. Does have PC support, but takes just a little bit of setting up.

You get a lot for the money. It is very sturdy and durable. The two additional buttons located on the bottom of the controller can be annoying but you can easily remove them. I am sure they serve their purpose in some games. This controller works great for games like Fortnite where you can chat with your team without the use of any stupid adapters. Just plug in your headphones directly into the control pad and you're ready to go. You can chat and listen to the game through your headphones (equipped with a mic). I recommend this product.

Solved Mic and drift issues in Fortnite

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020

Style: WiredVerified Purchase

Bought this remote because my son was experiencing two issues with the switch. 1. His mic sometimes will work sometimes it wouldn't while playing Fortnite. Basically issues with the aux connection since we bought 3 different headsets all ended up having the same issues. This eliminated this. Headset can get plugged it straight to remote. My son also does not have to be too close to tv since his headset cable was not long enough when connected to the switch. Now thats no longer the issue. Been using it for a week now. Absolutely no issues with mic now. 2. My son also experienced the joy drift issue so got this while its being repaired. No more drift issues either. Make sure you have a doc to be able to connect the USB for best use. If not. Get a USB to usbc adapter to plug it to the bottom part of the switch. Very happy with the purchase

Good controller compared to the base model.

On my 2nd controller since the first on had the Y button sticking. The first controller I bought same brand I had to have the volume all the way up. This one the sound is much better and I play a little above halfway. This does work with a headset voice and sound, even on Fortnite. You will have to search the reviews about Epic Nintendo switch Fortnite. It will work with a minor tweak if it doesn’t out of the box. My only problem now is the jump paddle was bound to the right side and now it’s bound to the left. This controller should last you a year or more if you aren’t too hard on controllers. It’s not a tank but it’s not a Yugo either. I will happily pay $25 for a controller once a year.

Great Controller for Fortnite

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

Style: WiredVerified Purchase

I bought this for my son to play fortnite on the big TV. When he first opened it he said he was never going to use it... He lied. He uses it a lot now that he has his own TV in his room. The cord is long and there is a headphone jack on the controller. The only reason I took off a star is because the listinf called this color camo red, but it's more of a hot red/pink. My son doesn't mind what color it is though.
