Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great controller and performs exactly as described. It connected instantly and the buttons all work and feel great. One issue I seem to be having is that when i plug the USB in to charge through the switch dock, it doesn't work. The light blinks and then stays off, indicating it's not charging. This is extremely strange, because when the switch comes out of sleep mode, the light goes on and is steadily charging. It's not the cable because when I plugged it into the wall, it charges just fine. And I have other things in the dock USB that charge just fine while the switch is asleep. Could just be a minor flaw, but also sort of annoying. I've read some reviews saying it feels a little cheap. I see what they are saying, but I think the top matte finish feels amazing and the buttons and joysticks feel sturdy. I do think $50 is a little steep for this controller, but I believe you are paying for the fact it is a licensed controller.

Perfect solution to the joycon drift issue. These controllers made by PowerA are great and I have had zero interference issues when using them. This particular controller is also rechargeable unlike some of the first PowerA remotes. This is a must have if you are a switch owner!

So far so good will update in a few months to see if this is worth the price.

Great buy so that we can play 4 player games now. Kids love it!

I like playing my switch docked if I know I’m gonna be playing a game for hours on end. Playing with the joycons in the little thing but over time my hand starts to cramp. I got a cheap controller but it needed AA battery’s and it felt cheap. This controller however feels like the real deal. I can charge it and i can play for a whole week straight without changing it again. I also love how it has some Weight to it.

Excellent controller, I love the wireless aspect, also very easy to connect.

I bought this for my wife who plays Animal Crossings and various Mario games. She absolutely loves it and wishes we would have bought it sooner. I originally got her the 8bitdo sn30 Pro+ Controller, and while it was constructed well, we had endless issues keeping it paired to her Switch. This controller, once paired, remains paired with the switch, unlike the 8bitdo. This controller is an excellent pickup at $40.

Pros: -inexpensive compared to a new Xbox or PS controller -paddles on the bottom come with it and you don't need to buy them separately -great ergonomic feel Cons; -inexpensive compared to a new Xbox or PS controller (my brother doesn't treat it as well as I do and I've noticed the buttons slowly start to sit lower and lower)

As advertised good controler easy to use long battery

Works great. No issues since we got it and it was easy to pair.

My son loves this controller. PowerA is one of the best wireless for the Switch. Add in the Fortnite stickers and he is a happy camper.

Im fairly rough on video game controllers and have owned MANY. This PowerA controller is lightweight, easy to use, and has a phenomenal battery. It allows a large-handed guy like me to be able to enjoy some of my favorite Switch titles like BotW and TotK. It’s worth the cost.

Wireless controllers are so expensive. This one was one of the cheaper ones, so I didn't expect a whole lot. However, this is a 10/10. It's comfortable to hold, the buttons do their button stuff perfectly and I am super impressed with the battery life and range.

Super comfortable in the hand, good battery life as well

love this controller. holds charge for many hours and works great

This controller works great. I bought this at the same time as the official Nintendo brand controller, and I see no difference in the way they work. This was a much better price on sale. I recommend this controller.

Great controller and very cute! I love art work on it.

I've been really impressed with this controller. The programmable buttons on the bottom come in really handy. I love how I can wake the switch and controller both by hitting the home button. Hitting the power or sleep button on the console turns off the controller. It does everything I want it to do and more. Excellent value.

These controllers work. Make's hooking up the switch to your TV and a group of people huddles around playing a lot more fun. Would recommend these controllers. They are very light, feels a little cheap, but I own four so that's saying something. I left this review on the white version as well. Overall these controllers are great and are a must if you're playing mario kart or something else with friends.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for a family member. Our family played with it together and we all had a blast. It is a fabulous product. It has great features and great quality. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for." My family and I have bought a lot of Nintendo products and we always were satisfied. Every time we purchase something from Best Buy, we always have awesome experience!
