PowerA - Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Black

This controller functions just as well as the pro controller, which I have as well, for significantly less money. Great feel, smooth and precise joy sticks and buttons. Wireless. I had to look up on the Internet what the difference was between the two and why this one was cheaper. Turns out there’s no rumble function or NFC reader. Didn’t even notice this for most of the gaming I do. If these features are not particularly important to you grab this and save a few bucks. Or if you already have a pro controller, this is a great second controller for less.

My son wanted one of these for his Nintendo Switch. Originally purchased a Legend of Zelda version, but it had a defect and had to return. Ended up getting this one, which is the same model, just in plain black finish. So far, so good. Gives him a more traditional controller rather than the small Switch units that come with the system. USB cord plugs in and keeps charged, so no need for continual battery replacements. Only negative is one that we have discovered is inherent with all Switch controllers, in that there is no microphone/headset port directly on the controller like an Xbox or Playstation has. Keep this in mind if you ever want to use a headset, as it will need to plug directly into the docked unit and not the controller itself. Other than that, this is a good controller and cheaper than the official Nintendo Pro Controller.

Works as well as a pro controller and it has the Nintendo seal of approval for their peripheries so I got it. Glad to finally have a wireless controller that feels solid in my hands though. It charges via USB like the Switch does and comes with a cable that you can plug into your Switch dock's back side so there's very little reason to not keep it around. Unfortunately, it has the same issue as the joy-cons when it comes to wireless lag. I have to play my Switch in my bedroom because there's so much interference that I get input lag from my controllers to the games I play which is a killer in games like Hades or Monster Hunter.

Wife hates the joy-con controllers, even on the adapter. She said she'd only play if she had a normal controller. This is a cost effective version of the Nintendo controller. It charges using USB-C which we have near the couch to charge phones so it can be used even while charging. A single charge lasts us about two months, granted we don't play the Switch too much. From an Xbox user, this makes for an easy transition to the Switch for games. I am considering buying more just to avoid the arguments on who gets to use it.

Love it. Saw some mixed reviews but im definitely satisfied with this. Feels great, response time is on point, and is a must have for anyone with a Switch Lite. Great for the regular switch console as well as it is better than using the joy cons when plahing something that demands a littlw more precision from your controller (FPS and Racing games especially.) I originally bought tgis because it said everywhere id need a co troller to play Breath of the Wild on a Switch Lite, and that turned out to be false. I am still glad i got this though.

Just as good as I could've imagined. Long battery life in between charges, very easy to pair, and they perform flawlessly. I was told to not but the battery versions of these controllers, as battery life is dramatically reduced. When I go to buy another, it will be this one!

A must own for Switch owners. I find this great for Breath of the Wild and also Super Smash Brothers. Excellent build quality. As a new switch owner, I found this a little difficult to pair with the new system, so I had to google a solution. Lack of instructions are the only gripe I have against this.

I purchased this along with our Nintendo Switch as I am a long time Xbox player and liked the idea of a familiar controller layout. I personally find the joy cons a bit small for a full sized adult hand and felt the need to give this controller a try. This controller allowed me to transition to the Switch much more easily and I found myself with better control and more precise movements. My only reservation is that I am used to an Xbox controller and the A and B as well as X and Y buttons are reversed on this controller, mirroring the joy cons layout. This causes me to hit the wrong button 9 of 10 times out of habit. I am sure this can be overcome with time, but it is a bit frustrating at first if you are used to an Xbox controller as I am. Overall, still an excellent choice for those who find the standard joy cons too small.
