Reddit reviews PowerA Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch - Zelda: Breath of The Wild

Okay, I was all wrong. I do not have a pro controller... This is the one I have.

This one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FBPT3W/

Comments on Amazon say it uses microUSB.

As someone who has a Pro Controller, and was reluctant to buy one, I have two very strong opinions on it:

1. The Pro Controller is the most overrated accessory ever, the Joycons in the grip are perfectly fine.
   
2. The Pro Controller is an immensely nice controller and basically a mandatory accessory, even to me, who drastically prefers a PlayStation-shaped controller and doesn't like the Xbox stick layout.

   If you already have an existing controller you're happy with (Xbone, PS3, PS4, Wii U Pro Controller, others), check out the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter, which will allow you to use it with the Switch.
   
   There's several third-party options for Switch controllers, including:
   
   

• PowerA's wireless controller
  
• PowerA's wired controller that comes in Mario or Zelda flavouring
  
• Hori's wired controller with a big-ass d-pad
  
• and your usual assortment of MadCatz-grade controllers (hey look!) that should really just be shipped straight to the dump after manufacturing to cut out the consumer annoyance from the process.

What's the difference between this PowerA wired controller and this same controller *plus*

​

From what I saw in the box it's just the extra controller caps and 2 extra feet on the cable, but wanted to know if that was it

​

(I mean call it plus just for the caps?)

They're actually $20 on Amazon right now, and $25 on Walmart.

I want to get a switch in may, planning on playing mostly smash bros and maybe botw later on, I want to get a separate controller because I've played smash on a friend's switch and i dont like how joycons play, the gamecube and pro controller are good though. So here's the question -

Should I get a wired pro controller or wireless third party (cuz i'm broke). I usually sit about four feet away from my tv when playing solo but if there's people over then its like 10-15 feet. I don't usually have people over so that might change, here's the two options basically:

I never use the joycons unless I have to use them for Mario Party or if I'm playing Pokemon LGE in docked mode. I would recommend getting a couple of pro controllers, but if that's too much money you can get a couple of wired controllers for about half the price. I would recommend either one of these:

Really depends on whether you need gyro controls and/or HD rumble. If you need either of those i would suggest just sticking to the joy-cons in the grip and save up for the pro controller. Otherwise, there are great wired options out there. Most notably the controllers from PowerA and HORI. Also personally I think the PowerA controller looks better than the pro controller but that's just my opinion.

If you play a lot of 2D games I'd recommend this controller. Probably the best 2D controller for the switch and has thumbsticks for 3D games.
