The Turtle Beach Afterglow Wave Black is a wireless RGB gaming controller officially licensed for Nintendo Switch 2 and compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED.

Eight customizable RGB lighting zones and four preset modes let you adjust the visual appearance to match your setup or mood while integrated motion controls and TMR thumbsticks improve responsiveness and reduce stick drift during gameplay.
