Wow, that was a lot of nonsense. The Wired Nintendo PowerA Controller connects to a USB-A to USB MICRO cable, NOT USB-A to USB-C. Kids keep calling it the Wired Pro Controller, and if someone's looking for a replacement cable, the search will show USB-A to USB-C as the correct cable - but fits the Wireless Pro Controller, not the wired PowerA Controller. You can plug in a wired Nintendo PowerA controller all day and it will still show USB A to USB C. This cable fits, plugs in easily, controller works again.
