Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m really impressed with the PowerA controller. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and very responsive. Perfect for casual and even serious gaming. The battery lasts a long time, and the build quality feels solid considering the price. Highly recommend it if you don’t want to spend too much but still want reliable performance.

The PowerA wired Nintendo Switch controller is great! I just love the big analog sticks. Keeps my thumbs from sliding off when playing Crash Bandicoot! Overall a great budget controller and I would highly recommend it. Plus it is an official Nintendo Switch licensed controller so you know it is a premium quality controller. Thanks Best Buy for the fantastic deal! ;D

I bought this because my boys can't be trusted with the $60 remotes. These are tougher and cheaper. They held up nicely, and cool designs. I love them so much. I bought 3 for the family, and they work on my PC for other games.

Bought these for our kids because they kept breaking the handheld joycons, no more broken controllers :) wish the cords were a bit longer, but they worked out beautifully.

This controller works perfectly and has all the necessary features I would want in any gaming controller! The buttons feel great and the design of the product itself makes it very comfortable to hold in my hands. I will definitely be buying more wired controllers from now on

After using this for more than half a year, I recommend it for anyone that is looking for a cheap alternative to the pro controller. While it’s not wireless and doesn’t have rumble features, it does its job and its lightweight. It even comes with a velcro tie to store the cable :)

I recently had the opportunity to experience gaming with the PowerA Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch in black, and it has proven to be a reliable and efficient gaming accessory. The controller is in good condition, exhibiting light signs of wear or damage. All buttons, triggers, and analog sticks function flawlessly, delivering a responsive and accurate gaming experience. The durable build of the controller instills confidence in its longevity and usability.

This is a nice looking controller, and perfect for my 5 year old to play with. He loves the Yoshi graphics on it and for the price it is great. The only thing I don’t like is that you can not turn the system on with the controller, even if it is plugged in to the system. I also was annoyed that the cord you use for the controller is a basic micro usb and not the Nintendo style cable. Minor gripes and, for the price, I can’t knock it more than a star. Of course there is also no rumble, but that should be pretty clear from the item description and I wouldn’t expect with a controller at this price point.

Very very good quality for the price. I would compare as second to a pro controller without vibrations and grips. And it is easily storable with its detachable 6ft cable.

Couch co-op games are great with these! We bought 8 for our switch and have an attachment that allows up to 8 controller ports! Smash bros is happening!

Picked it up on clearance, expect it will make for a decent backup controller.

Y'know, it's a controller. Pretty self explanatory. For 20 bucks, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, like HD rumble, or amiibo support, but it does what I paid for it to do. My only issue is that there's no indication that its on when it's plugged in, but it's not really that big a deal.

Fun for the 4 months it lasted... It just completely stopped working out of no where! There is absolutely no damage to the controller, cord, or switch. I have tried multiple attempts at solutions. This PowerA wired controller is a faulty product. I am a casual gamer.

Today is 5/31 and this particular controller has completely stopped working. It has been a max of 2 maybe 3 months and there is no sign of misuse it just simply stopped connecting and working altogether

After less than 2 months of minimal use it completely stopped working. I would advise to invest in the real (genuine) thing. Definitely would not recommend.

Very good price, good quality, and works well for my emulation gaming setup! I'm using this with PC, not Switch, and it works great and feels great. Very happy with this controller for the price

Growing up if you were the kid who had a madcatz or other third-party controller you basically got laughed out of the room. Shoddy construction, poor ergonomics, and terrible looks. This controller is none of those. For the price I don't know that you'd find a better third-party controller for the Switch. It's not wireless, and it doesn't have rumble or Amiibo support, but it feels just as good in the hand as the $60 Pro Controller from Nintendo.

The PowerA Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch in the Donkey Kong model is an absolute blast to use. From the moment I held the controller in my hands, I could feel the solid build quality and attention to detail that went into its design. The Donkey Kong-themed artwork adds a nostalgic charm, perfect for fans of the beloved franchise. The controller's ergonomic shape and comfortable grip ensure hours of comfortable gameplay, whether I'm exploring the Mushroom Kingdom or battling it out in intense multiplayer matches. The buttons and triggers are responsive and provide a satisfying tactile feedback, allowing for precise control and fluid movements. The inclusion of a detachable 10-foot USB cable is a fantastic feature, ensuring that I never have to worry about running out of battery power during my gaming sessions. With its excellent performance and attractive design, the PowerA Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch in the Donkey Kong model is a must-have accessory for any Switch owner, delivering a fantastic gaming experience at an affordable price.

I really like the ergonomic feel of this controller. And nice and sturdy too. It doesn't creak when you twist it. I left one star out for the "key hole" usb port on top. It makes it difficult to plug in the cord. I feel like I'm gonna break it every time. Besides that I like the big control sticks and the other designs it has.

I have always wondered about new controllers that are wired but I didnt know the cord would be so long! This corded nintendo controller made it possible for me to game from my sofa and not worry about the cord not being long enough. My inner child is happy!
