Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch, particularly its design, which is ergonomic and available in various colors. The wireless operation and easy connection process are also well-received. While some users find the controller a bit large and lightweight, many appreciate its affordability and the inclusion of Animal Crossing as an added bonus. However, customers have concerns about the battery life, as it is not rechargeable and may require frequent battery replacements. Additionally, the lack of a headphone jack, rumble feature, and vibration function in certain games are seen as drawbacks by some users.

    This controller is really cute but felt very light as in like cheap thin plastic. It’s does not feel worth $60. It had a very slight rattle to it. Like a tiny piece of plastic was floating inside of it. It worked fine for a few months but then one of the right bumpers started sticking and it was like you everything just went to the right on its own. It was completely unplayable. I was mostly only playing Animal Crossing so it’s not like I was really pushing those buttons playing a fighting game. I have two friends who have the same controller and they have the same exact problems with theirs. I returned it and will not exchange it for another Power A controller.

    Works great for the Switch, no issues with lag or connectivity. I didn’t realize that it wasn’t rechargeable when I bought it, but the batteries last a decent amount of time. It’s a great value as a spare or guest remote, which is what we use it for.

    Nice control alternative to the official nintendo pro controller. Better price point. Light in weight. Buttons feel cheaper but works just as well. No delay. This remote is wireless but has no rumble features. Uses two AA batteries.

    I love having the two extra buttons the back but only after using the controller for 3 months, the A button sticks and the right joystick squalls real bad. Also it’ll be nice if it was rechargeable.

    I love this PowerA - Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Animal Crossing: K.K. Slider its amazing the only thing is it runs on batteries which I personally hate I 100% prefer rechargeable items but not a real reason to give it anything less than 5 stars

    These are just ok controllers, my kids have worn out the joy cons so these get the job done for them but I think they feel very cheap for the price point and the batteries don’t last long when they play fortnite

    My kids love the design and ergonomic feel. It does drain batteries, as we go through 1 set (2 batteries) every 5 nights we play. So consider getting rechargeable batteries to save money in the long haul.

    Works well with Switch Console. Seems like it may not last very long as it is a bit flimsy, but it was inexpensive compared to other Nintendo items.

    Fully functional and cute to boot. Everyone loves the color and decal that coincides with our favorite game. Animal Crossing is such a hit in my house we couldn't pass this up. Works perfectly with the Switch.

    Remember folks, it is not a Pro Controller so you're limited on some features. I really enjoy playing with this as a casual gamer but occasionally the left joystick will drift quite a bit and I use the directional pad instead. It's very light weight and a good controller for casual games. It's also not a bad idea to use rechargeable batteries because this cannot be plugged in. Other than that, it's good but I gave it 3 stars because it's not phenomenal. If you spend more on a pro controller, you'll get better quality.

    This was given as a Christmas gift to my daughter. She received the game that went along with it and was so excited to receive the controller that matched. It works great and was very easy to connect to the Switch.
