The Turtle Beach Afterglow is a wired RGB gaming controller listed for Nintendo Switch 2, with compatibility also claimed for Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED. It combines Hall-Effect thumbsticks and two mappable rear buttons with adjustable lighting, but its wired connection means it is best suited to play near the console or a suitable connection point.

Confirm compatibility for the intended console. The listing also calls the product the Afterglow and describes it as the Rematch in one size answer, so the precise model details should be checked.
