This controller functions just as well as the pro controller, which I have as well, for significantly less money. Great feel, smooth and precise joy sticks and buttons. Wireless. I had to look up on the Internet what the difference was between the two and why this one was cheaper. Turns out there’s no rumble function or NFC reader. Didn’t even notice this for most of the gaming I do. If these features are not particularly important to you grab this and save a few bucks. Or if you already have a pro controller, this is a great second controller for less.

Controller is built well with easy connectivity. Feels as good in my hands as the Pro controller (and has a better price point). Its definitely worth the price.

I've got two of these controllers, both for under a year. So far so good. I have had 3 switch pro controllers, 1 just died and the others are starting to suffer from joystick drift. So far I haven't noticed any negatives with these controller. They have 2 mappable buttons along the bottom on the inside of the grips. This controller is lighter than the switch pro controller, and a little bit less comfortable. The battery life has been comparable to that of the switch pro controller. All in all, I think this is a solid choice and has become my go to controller for the extra buttons on the grips. An added bonus is that this controller goes on sale frequently. I spent about half of what a pro controller cost on this one. If it ever goes out, it won't break the bank.

I love this controller. It worked perfectly with Nintendo Switch. Only down side is it does not show battery life on screen but that’s not a big deal because if you charge it complete first time you get 45 hours of playing time without charging in between.
The grips and the sticks work well and are easy to move about. Would definitely recommend!

Good controller. Functions as it should. WAY more comfortable than using the Joycons. Feels good in the hand. Battery holds a charge for an impressive amount of time. Bought as a replacement, same model, though as previous one came down with permanent stick drift. Here's hoping that was an aberration. Overall this is my third purchase of this item. It was significantly cheaper than the "official" Nintendo controller so I went with this. For reference though, I've never used the official Nintendo version.

This controller has come in clutch for me. After not wanting to shell out the extra $ for the Nintendo branded remote, I took a chance on this one. The reviews were right as this works perfectly fine as a substitute. Feels great on the hands as I'm able to play games like Mario Kart for hours on end with no issues.

I love there are two back buttons like a Playstation pro controller. They last a long time before needing to charge, and the controller has a premium quality feel. The analog sticks for this controller last a lot longer than the joy con sticks (stick drift issues). The major downside is that there is no rumble. Other than that, this is a great alternative to the pro controller.

I bought this computer for a wireless replacement to my wired pc controller as well as another option for my switch. While basic, it has been extremely solid, and the rechargeable battery is a plus.

I recently picked up a PowerA controller, and overall, I’m really impressed. The build quality feels solid and durable—definitely not cheap or flimsy. However, the controller runs on the smaller side, which makes it a better fit for kids or anyone with smaller hands.
For adults with larger hands, it might feel a bit compact, but for kids, it’s honestly perfect. The buttons are responsive, and it feels well-made despite the lightweight design.
I’d definitely buy again for the kids—great quality at a fair price without compromising on performance.

If you're looking for a wireless controller that won't break the bank then I recommend this controller. My old wired controller broke and I needed a new controller but wanted wireless and I'm pretty happy with it. This controller has the option to map your controls. The battery life if pretty decent as well. I have small hands and this controller fits perfect. My husband that has bigger hands wishes it was slightly bigger but definitely beats the joy cons.

Great controller for the price! Switch 1 and 2 compatible. The only thing you are giving up over the Pro Controller is the rumble feature and the NFC-related things

It’s a great controller! Works as intended and the lights are a nice addition. The light programming can be a little tedious and complicated without the instructions, but works perfectly once set for turning on and off. Love that you can turn it low and conserve the battery but keep visibility at night and dark settings. Comfortable to hold and has a nice weight to it. Would definitely recommend.

This controller is graphically appealing and easily links up wirelessly to your switch. It sits comfortably in your hands for playing the games on switch. Similar to a pro controller for its performance.
