This is one of the best gaming pads I've tried. The ergonomics are very comfortable, and the texture has grip without being sticky. The buttons and joysticks are very responsive with minimal play. The battery lasts for several hours and holds a good charge. It's able to power on the Switch with the Home button as well, which many controllers will not.

This controller has my ideal ergonomics. It's comfortable to hold in my large, long-fingered, man child hands. The coating on the frame is smooth and feels nice to the touch.
The controller is matte black, so it doesn't show dirtiness. This is a blessing and a curse. Your friends won't be afraid to use the controller because they won't see it covered in grease and months of cheesy snack stains, but you may be less inclined to clean it. In my experience, not cleaning this controller regularly will lead to buttons sticking down when they are depressed.
I do not eat food while I play games, and I don't think that I'm a particularly heavy user. You must be diligent about cleaning this product. This is an issue with all controllers but I believe I experienced this issue earlier than with other controllers across a variety of consoles.
Outside of this issue the product is wonderful to use. As mentioned it feels great to hold, you can keep a solid grip on it, it pairs easily and has great range, and the buttons/sticks have a nice tactile feel and are very responsive. There are grip buttons, and a button under the middle of the controller. I haven't found a use for these yet but I appreciate having the option. The controller charges via a USB-C port which I am super happy about, and the controller holds a charge for much longer than I would expect.

Nice switch and switch 2 controller. My kids have used it to play Zelda and Mario kart many many hours. A charge lasts a long time. I was so my happy with it that I bought a second one.

This controller is a nice add to playing games on the Switch with your family—especially if you are looking for a larger controller than the mini ones that come with the Switch. No latency, easy to set up, batteries built in, and nice build quality compared to the more expensive Nintendo brand.

I absolutely love the colors on the controller and the characters. This controller is wireless and is chargeable which saves you tons of money on buying batteries. The controller stays charged for a very long time which is amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch, specifically the Mario Mayhem edition, and I must say, it's an absolute game-changer for any Nintendo enthusiast.
From the moment I unboxed the controller, the attention to detail and love for the Mario franchise was evident. The iconic red and blue color scheme, coupled with the familiar images of Mario, Luigi, and other beloved characters, instantly brought a smile to my face. The controller exudes a nostalgic charm that pays a perfect homage to the iconic plumber's adventures.
One of the standout features of this controller is its wireless capability. The connection was seamless, and I experienced no lag during gameplay. The wireless range is impressive, allowing me to enjoy my favorite Nintendo titles from the comfort of my couch without being tethered to the console. The freedom to move around without compromising performance is a significant plus.
The build quality is top-notch. The controller feels sturdy and comfortable in my hands, and the buttons are responsive and tactile. The layout mirrors the traditional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, making it easy for anyone familiar with Nintendo's controllers to adapt seamlessly. The addition of motion controls and vibration feedback enhances the gaming experience, adding an extra layer of immersion to every play session.
The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller also boasts a fantastic battery life. I was able to enjoy hours of uninterrupted gameplay before needing to recharge, and the USB-C charging port ensures a quick and convenient power-up.
What truly sets this controller apart, though, is its affordability. Despite its premium features and special edition design, the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller comes at a reasonable price point, making it an excellent choice for gamers on a budget.
In conclusion, the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Mario Mayhem edition is a must-have for any Mario fan or Nintendo Switch owner. Its wireless convenience, solid build quality, nostalgic design, and budget-friendly price make it a standout choice in the crowded controller market. Upgrade your gaming experience and embrace the mayhem with PowerA!

I absolutely love my Super Mario controller with the characters of Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. It is a very colorful controller that works great.

Really like the feel and weight to this controller. Feels similar to a sturdy Xbox or PS5 and not some cheap plastic. The battery hold lasts a longgg time too.

Purchased this shortly after buying my Nintendo Switch and I am really happy with the purchase. The controller has great response and control in all of the games that I play with it. I really like the custom colors that I can make on the controller and how easy it is to operate! Definitely a step up from the joycons!

Great battery life. It's charging pace is quick and has long last battery life with not needing to be charged for over a week at a time. Easy to understand controls.

Great controller for the money. My kids use it mostly. It fits nice in your hand, and makes gameplay much better over the controller that comes with the switch.

I can't use the switch controller because of my arthritis so this controller is easy to hold. Being able to play wireless is nice because my old controller had to be plugged in and the cats used that to their advantage. It has smooth, easy to use controls, and i dont have to button smash to get it to respond when a Creeper sneaks up on me.

Great choice. PowerA has been around for a while and although it doesn't quite reach the level of Sony's DualSense controller, it is well built and you can feel that in the feel of the buttons and the joysticks. It has two downsides: 1. it is small so if you have big hands it's less than optimal and 2. it has no NFC reader, but that's what keeps the price lower than Nintendo's own controllers. If that is not a concern then this is a good choice.
