Awesome video I am glad that you are doing much better and it’s a great way to start on a unboxing controller video one of my favorites series

[@onlylee5485]

How tf you kno it’s on or how to connect it

[@hayeskids8813]

Does anyone know which cord to buy to replace the Nintendo wired controller that these controllers come with ? It has a slot underneath it and we aren’t sure what it’s called.

[@vincentgalmant7619]

I looking for the name too, did you found it?

[@ox4df5h6g5ff]

The purple looks good via your video. My hesitation before buying it in store recently was that the purple was described as grape purple. It looks more eggplant purple colored than grape purple. Understandable that it doesn’t have rumble or NFC but the price point it makes sense.
Take care with your breath control. I’ve been there.

Thanks for that. It took me a long time to get over the damage it did to my lungs, but I'm good now. Thank you again.
Now, as for the controller, the color is more of a grape than eggplant. It's on the lighter side. My camera uses HDR while recording, so the colors have a bit more of a pop. So far it's been a solid backup wired controller. My wife loves purple so she thought it was a great color, not too dark and not too light.

I have the animal crossing Isabelle wired one but mine isn’t being read on my switch at all. It worked before but now it won’t even light up. Any tips?

[@RedBandanaGaming]

Make sure you turn on pro controller wired connection. That's the most common issue.

[@Basvra]

@@RedBandanaGaming yup did that too, even reset the switch and funny thing is now my dock isn’t working at all

[@napydog]

it only works when docked you should wire it to the dock@@Basvra

[@J.B.7.4]

Bet the wired controller works better for FPS, due to zero or minimal latency compared to wireless.

[@Huttares]

I just bought one today

[@daijobudesu4252]

Does it work on Mac?

[@Huttares]

@@daijobudesu4252 not sure… maybe? I haven’t tried it with my computer yet

[@aaronjohnsten2540]

Does it plug in to the stand?

[@ussfrhni8085]

Yes. It needs to be plugged into the dock. He doesn't mention it but he should have

[@omarguerrero6417]

Is there gryo support

[@cl8wnm5n]

No

[@Samurai-no4wu]

I just got one and I was trying to put it away I noticed I can't disconnect the cable from the controller. Anyone know how to fix this?

[@RedBandanaGaming]

You can't. Not every controller is built to have a removable cable.
