PowerA - Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Black

My son loved it. But I didn’t really pay attention to the fact that it uses batteries but. Other than that I like the controller. And so does my son

I have wrist problems so I was looking for a controller with buttons on the back that didn't weigh a ton, and this one fits the bill while not being too expensive. The buttons a a bit click-y and the joy sticks are a bit stiff but it fits my needs and works how I'd hoped so its perfect for me.

This Zelda controller made a wonderful addition to my collection of Nintendo Switch items. I found this controller pretty decent for the price point. The buttons were responsive and the battery life was okay. I personally used rechargeable batteries [not sure if that was a no no or not] and found the controller to hold a decent charge before needing to recharge. Overall this controller is a good option if you are on a budget or you simply need an additional controller.

I bought this for my 6 year old son for his Switch. He absolutely loves it! It’s so much easier to use versus the joycons. It’s lightweight, but not cheap. It connects right away every single time. So happy with this purchase. I might even purchase a 2nd one.

I have arthritis in my hands so holding the switch or joy con controllers gets painful fast. Being a big Zelda fan I love the look of this controller and I really need one this size if I want to play. Pros; skin design, size, so far does what it's intended to do. Very excited about how easily it connects to the switch after past system issues. Cons; I'm disappointed in the quality of the controller and the battery life. While the controller works it definitely feels cheaply constructed. It's not soft and comfortable to hold like most brand name controllers I've owned. The parts have a loose, cheap, plastic feel to them and batteries only last a few days of quarenteed time (which for me is an excessive amount of play time). Why make a bad controller? I would happily have paid more for this controller to have typical wireless controller features including being rechargeable. I did choose based on price and the Zelda design so that's on me. I wish I had researched more before buying but the little research I'd done left me confused about the differences between this and other full sized controllers for the switch. Hopefully this review will provide someone else with better insight.
