    Got this controller during black Friday sale. We don't use it yet. It's a Christmas present. We took it out to check the quality and it's good and very light.

    It’s such a cute controller and works well. It’s actually more kid friendly when it comes to playing other games. The only thing is that it is not wireless. It’s just up to what you would like. I’m sure it works just as well as a wireless. Will be returning.

    If I could I will give this remote a 2 1/2 stars the reason is because I purchased this on May 16 of 2021 did not receive it into a couple days later. Come to be July 30, 2021 it’s already broken The control does not want to connect to the system the light in the control won’t turn on. And it’s been well taken care of I’m disappointed for the money that I spend on this. Because of that I just made a new purchase for a new controller hopefully this one works a little bit better. I don’t know what to do with his control throw it to the trash or recycle it’s in pretty good condition still only used it about 30 times.

    I remember being a kid and not being able to afford a lot of gaming stuff as a kid. So I would have to get a third party controller such as MadKatz or something similar and it was just terrible, and was a reminder of being poor. However with that said, my parents did their best and I love them for it and always will. This controller I got for $18.00, and it looks amazing. The design looks beautiful and it’s a solid controller, the box it comes in is beautiful and it’s something to be proud of. For all those kids out there and adults too just know this is a fantastic controller. Plus kudos to Nintendo and Power A for making affordable and nice looking third party controllers.

    I haven't used this controller yet. But I have a similar one for Xbox. Same brand and very similar design. I have to say I'm impressed by how they feel. They feel sturdy, great in your hands and made of quality materials. They are very light and only feel slightly heavier when connected to the wire due to being a wired controller obviously. Besides that it's an excellent product. The design and colors with the Mario character upfront makes it stand out. Even if at some point the controller no longer functions or works it could be kept as a collectible. Really nice and cute. You can not beat the price. Affordable yet not cheap in functionality, and or construction. It looks awesome.

    Great product! Joysticks feel smooth along with the other buttons. It also has buttons in the back of the controller which allow you to adjust the controls for a better gameplay experience. It feels comfortable while holding also. The USB cable also fits perfectly in the controller so you dont have to worry about it getting loose or something like a PS4 controller. The design also is amazing. Huge Zelda fan since a child. The gold compliments the black and whites. I am fully satisfied with this product and i do recommend.

    I was so excited to try this controller out. I got over the corded part, as it had plenty of length to work with my room's layout. When I say this controller "felt cheap," I mean that it can't possibly be more than $1 worth of plastic and internals to make this controller. The best way I can explain/warn people of just how cheap this controller feels, I handed it to my wife, who had a visible reaction to it and how lightweight/cheap it felt to her. All of this to say if you can get past the cheap feeliny, it's a very function and stylish controller.

    The PowerA Wired Controller for Switch is a Mario-themed gamepad that's: ** Plug & Play:** No setup, just grab and game! ** Familiar Feel:** Buttons are where you expect, Mario moves like a dream. ** Comfy Grips:** Perfect for long gaming sessions. ️ Secret Weapon Buttons: Map them for epic combos. Headset Hero:** Plug in and immerse yourself in the game. Wallet-Friendly:** Won't break the bank. ** Not-So-Good:** ❌ Wired: No wireless freedom. No Rumble or Motion:** Feels basic. Built Light: Might not survive intense gaming. Mushy D-pad:** Precision platforming can be tricky. Mario Only:** Not for everyone. the cord is not interchangable and so the controller won't last long ** Verdict:** A fun, affordable option for casual Switch fans, especially Mario enthusiasts. Not for hardcore players or those seeking bells and whistles.

    This controller is SO CUTE!!!! It's very light and feels a bit hollow, but honestly that just makes it more comfortable to hold. And while at first I thought the re-mapable buttons were a neat feature that I'd likely never actually use, I was dead wrong. They are super useful, especially if you have issues with certain games causing your thumbs to hurt, you can just remap those buttons to the back of the controller and let your other fingers take some of the strain away from your thumbs. The only downsides that come to mind are that there's no gyro controls or HD rumble (or any rumble for that matter). I personally don't mind those exclusions, but some people might. However the exclusions I DO mind, are the lack of Amiibo functionality, and the apparent lack of ability to awaken the Switch from sleep mode. I tend to keep my Joycons nearby incase I need either of those functions, but people who are looking to replace their Joycons with this: Just know that you won't have gyro controls, rumble, Amiibo support, and if your console is docked you're gonna have to press the power button on the console itself to wake it up when it's in sleep mode.
