    Great controller for Zelda. I enjoy using it when the joycons just aren’t doing it for me. Thankfully the remappable buttons aren’t paddles so I can press on them all day without wearing them out like I did the paddles on an elite controller.

    Stopped Working

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We bought 2 of these on Black Friday. The first one randomly stopped working within 2 hours of use. Wouldn’t charge, turn on, absolutely nothing. Exchanged it out and then the second one randomly stopped working after a week. Same thing, wouldn’t charge, turn on or anything. Exchanged it out for a 3rd one and after 2 weeks, the same thing happened. We finally just returned both of them altogether and went with a different brand. We liked the controllers while they lasted, especially being able to choose the color we wanted the controller to light up but got tired of keep having to exchange them out when they inevitably stopped working. Also, the buttons on the back got pretty annoying.

    Nice "ENHANCED" wireless remote control.

    Good quality controller with great value. It seems to do it all and the kids sure like it. Has the haptic feedback, which is nice. Also, it has the onboard gyro. pretty cool feature. Just tilting, twisting and rotating the controller in the X, Y, & Z axis' sends the input to your respective game. Very cool feature! Has the type C USB port for charging. Battery seems to last a long, long time.

    This is my second power a controller. I LOVE IT. This thing is made out of a nice material and it has high joysticks unlike the original pro controller. So far it has no ghosting. Best controller for me so far

    I mean… its something

    So I was never really a fan of these powerA remotes but that won’t be in this review. My brother got this control for christmas (4 months ago) and its already broken. The most common thing is stick drift and thats what this brand struggles with, every control gets stick drift very shortly after purchasing. Don’t recommend if you plan on using this long term. I’m going to have to buy a new controller for me, I plan on 8bitdo ultimate controller. Really good if you do need to get a controller for the switch. Save your time and money and get an official nintendo switch controller instead of these off-brands. No hate to powerA, gotta respect the hard work and grind but theres just better out there.

    Power A is terrible

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Will never buy Power A again. The first i bought had a problem right out of the box. I returned and got a new one. Like two weeks with using the second one it already developed joystick drift.
