The Turtle Beach Afterglow Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch 2 is a transparent gamepad with customizable RGB lighting, offering a cosmic aesthetic and responsive performance. It features ultra-precise TMR thumbsticks, low-latency play, and a wireless range of up to 30 feet. The controller is comfortable for long sessions, with cushioned triggers and mappable rear paddles.

However, it lacks haptics and cannot wake the Switch 2 console. The small face buttons, including minus, plus, home, and capture, are difficult to read, leading to accidental inputs. Priced at $65, it is often on sale for less, making it a budget-friendly alternative to the official Pro Controller.

The Afterglow also includes motion controls but no rumble, and comes with a 1-meter charging cable.
