The controller is absolutely great! It has an effective battery life, it takes little to no time to set up and it gets the job done. My only complaint is that the buttons and joystick on it can be a little stiff in comparison to most controllers you've used.

This is one of the first third party controllers I have bought. And, no regrets. Has a very solid weight to it, and works just as well as the Pro controller when it comes to a game like Mario Kart with tilt controls. Working great for us!

Amazing controller. I was having elbow pain due to the weight of the Switch, but now I just connect it to the Dock and use my new controller. It feels great in my heads and it's quality is really good. I regret not buying it before.

I have 3 of this type. All different color variations. Of the powera wireless controllers these have a rechargeable battery which i prefer over disposable batteries. I have experienced drift issues with every controller i have owned for the switch. Most of the time i can take it apart and blow it out and it works fine. If you have a warranty go that route instead.

Controller works great and like any other pro controller while also giving funny little rewards as a bonus. The decal is part of the actual plastic istelf so the “stickers” have better durability for natural wear and tear.
No reason to buy the Nintendo brand pro controller

Somewhat newish owner of a switch. I was looking for a controller to keep my hands comfortable over longer playing sessions. In the past, I have not trusted 3rd party controllers because the quality just could not match the native manufacturers. Because of this, I coughed up the $70(overpriced!) for the Nintendo controller and, like I expected, it was more comfortable.
A few days later, this version of the PowerA controller came out. The price of the Nintendo controller still bothered me (considering an xbox or PS4 controller is $60) so I returned it and got the PowerA instead.
I honestly can not tell a difference between the two in terms of build quality or feel in my hands. It is equal to the Nintendo controller in any game I have played with it. Buy this and save $20.

Really good controller at a reasonable price. I love buying anything electronic at Best Buy as it’s usually the best price available! No problems at all with the controller, have had it for about a month now.

It’s easy to use and the feeling of the matte finish in my hands is nice. Good for those of you who like the feeling of a controller in their hands vs the traditional switch manipulators
