Product Information

Full details

The Turtle Beach Afterglow Wave Wired RGB Gaming Controller is designed for Nintendo Switch 2, Switch OLED, and standard Nintendo Switch gamers who prioritize precision and aesthetic customization. Its key benefit is the combination of Hall-Effect thumbsticks for long-term durability and eight-zone RGB lighting that allows for extensive personalization. While it offers premium features like mappable back buttons and integrated audio controls, it is a wired controller, meaning it requires a direct connection to your console at all times.

FAQs

Is this controller wireless?

No, this is a wired controller that uses a 3-meter USB-C cable for a direct, low-latency connection.

Does it work with the original Nintendo Switch?

Yes, it is compatible with the original Nintendo Switch, the OLED Model, and the Nintendo Switch 2.

How do I map the back buttons?

Refer to the included user guide for the specific button sequence used to enter mapping mode and assign your desired inputs.

What is Hall-Effect technology?

Hall-Effect technology uses magnets and sensors to detect stick movement, which avoids the physical wear-and-tear that causes stick drift in traditional controllers.

Can I turn off the RGB lighting?

Yes, you can adjust the brightness and lighting modes using the onboard controls to turn the lights off if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Controller is not detected by the console

Ensure the USB-C connection is fully seated in the port and try connecting to a different USB port on the Switch dock.

RGB lighting is not responding

Cycle through the preset modes using the onboard lighting controls to ensure the light zones are not set to the 'off' position.

Audio not coming through the headset

Check that your headset is fully pushed into the 3.5mm jack and adjust the volume levels using the controller's integrated audio controls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This controller is a plug-and-play device. Simply insert the USB-C cable into the dock or the console port to begin use. It is natively compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch OLED model. To ensure longevity, keep the controller away from liquids and avoid wrapping the cable too tightly around the device, as this can stress the internal wiring. If the controller becomes dusty, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the surface and keep the RGB lighting clear.
