DISSATISFIED!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018

Color: Mario SilhouettePattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

This controller is pretty legit. I pre-ordered it and I'm very happy with it. Every button works and feels good. The controller is very light so it feels cheap but it works without a doubt. Id give it 5 stars but I'm hesitant due to the fact that ALL switch controllers including the joycons are know for ghosting anolog sticks and my PowerA wired controller is showing signs of ghosting. I'm hoping this controller has upgraded sticks but we will see. If there is no ghosting then this controller WAAAAAY better than Nintendo's Pro Controller
UPDATE: I've been heavily gaming with this controller and it's held up so far. No ghosting in the sticks, and the buttons have no sign of wear. Definitely worth the money!

**UPDATE** MAY 2019
-My controller just died after 7 months of use. I didn't even get a full year out of it. Just shut off and never turned back on even with a fresh set of batteries. Smh...

Very Cheap

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020

Color: Animal Crossing: K.K. SliderPattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

For the price, it’s a very cheap product. You can’t charge it and the plastic is cheap. I’m very disappointed in this because I was very excited to finally get an animal crossing themed controller. For the same price on my ps4 I can get a really nice controller. I guess I’ll keep it though because my lizard likes to sit on it

Lasts about TWO MONTHS

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019

Color: WhitePattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

I'm a 15 year old that plays way too many video games. Got this controller about three months ago for the advanced gaming buttons on the back, which actually work quite well, are very easy to program, but are awkward to reach and press. For the first month I was rather in denial, the controller feels extremely cheap, very very low quality plastic, only about a month in I found myself wishing I just forked over the extra 20 bucks for the real deal. I decided to keep going with it because the buttons on the back were very handy, but I was just constantly disappointed. The buttons click super loud and are obnoxious to deal with, the weight is not balanced whatsoever, making it feel very uncomfortable, the joysticks feel unresponsive, and the product as a whole feels clunky and awkward.
Anyways, ignoring these slight disadvantages, the controller lasted me about two months, now it is very unresponsive, with the buttons and joystick inputs barely working, the joysticks have gotten extremely loose and are starting to drift my character in a way I did not input.
Overall, very disappointed. You can tell that PowerA was out to save every last penny with these controllers. The only good thing about this controller is the buttons on the back which are actually not realistically usable because of their troublesome position. Everything else about it looks cheap, feels cheap, and is not durable whatsoever.
Just put in the extra 20$

Very good alternative to Pro Controller

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018

Color: Mario SilhouettePattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

I was a bit skeptical that such a cool looking controller would be decent but I was pleasantly surprised (I bough the Mario version). I tried it on Mega Man 11 and Street Fighter just to see the responsiveness and it passed with flying colors. The extra buttons seem well placed and easy to use but I haven't tried them out yet. Seems like you could hit them by accident but again, I haven't actually set them up. Controller is easy to set up BTW. Just one button needed to sync unlike some other controllers.

So why four stars? Well it is AA battery powered, so not rechargeable. Not a huge deal and I kind of like being able to just add batteries instead of waiting for it to charge. But it is an extra expense you have to deal with. Batteries lasted pretty good so far. I ahve about 8 hours of play on it and it still works fine. Also, a point off for no rumble function. Not a huge deal for me but worth mentioning. And finally, it's not red all over. Would have been really cool but it's still decent looking with the black back panel. Overall, very nice controller and I will prob order the zelda one soon.

Great Switch Controller

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

Color: BlackPattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

I already own two of the official Switch pro controllers, and they're the best controllers on the planet, but I wanted to deck out my Switch with two more controllers so that my college buddies and I could play Mario Kart 8 DX and Smash Ultimate without breaking the bank. The PowerA enhanced pro controllers are a great option in this situation. They don't include the HD rumble, motion controls, NFC chip for amiibo, nor are they rechargeable (they run on AAs) but these are very fair compromises for $25-$30 less, so long as you've already treated yourself with at least one official Switch pro controller for those epic Breath of the Wild sessions.

They don't feel as solid as the Switch pro controller, but they don't feel cheap and plasticky either. They're somewhere in between. The buttons feel good and the triggers feel good too, even if not as smooth as the official pro controller's. The sticks have a wide range of motion but aren't as comfortable to rest your thumbs on for extended periods of time. The programmable back buttons are a plus though, especially for programming moves in Smash.

Overall, a stylish, well-built controller to add to your Switch collection so that you can enjoy games with others.

This is not good...buy another.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018

Color: Link SilhouettePattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

Very cool color scheme and look. The controller itself is a very low quality product. Upon opening it’s obviously very low quality. Cheap plastic and bad button feed back. If your looking for a pro controller or just one with quality go ahead and spend the extra money on the original. With this type of plastic it makes your hands very sweaty and with no traction makes it much harder to play with. I do not recommend for $20 sure but at this price point definitely not.

Looks good but quality is bad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2019

Color: BlackPattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

I bought this controller because it’s cheaper then the Pro controller, and I didn’t need NFC and rumble.
This controller feels confortable to play for long period of time, motion control works too, the pairing is automative, and the controller wakes the Switch up.
However, the left stick becomes reliable after one week of normal playing. I think it is because the left stick’s gotten used the most. The movement is jumping around. Open up the controller to have a look inside, to my horror, the manufacturing of the board is very low quality with many dry solder joints. This is why so many complaints on Amazon.com and .co.uk, for this controller after only very short time.
Returning this controller and getting the Pro controller instead.

Problemas de drift

Reviewed in Mexico on December 7, 2018

Color: Link SilhouettePattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

Aunque es más grande qué los joycons conectados a su soporte, éste control se siente ligero y parece que tiene mejor conectividad que los mismos Joycon (hasta ahora no he tenido el problema de que pierda la conexión, como ha ocurrido con los joycon).

Me gustá que funcione a base de pilas y sea inalambrico, ya que tengo gatos y así no corre el peligro de que los gatos jalen el cable. Las pilas recargables de larga duración de Amazon son un uben compañero.

Tiene un par de botones que pueden ser programados, lamentablemente sólo puede mapear otros botones y no acciones complejas o la presión sobre el D pad.

Carece de HD rumble y de connectividad con los amiibo.

*** Actualización ***
Presenta problemas de drift después de sólo un par meses de uso. Mejor busquen otra opción.

DON'T BE TEMPTED BY THE CUTE DESIGNS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2021

Color: Animal Crossing: Timmy & Tommy NookPattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

Cute design. Plastic feels cheep. No rumble. Takes AA batteries and Switch cannot not tell you how much juice is left in the controller. I don't feel it was worth the money I paid. These should be half the price for the quality and functions you get. I'm surprised these are officially licensed products, I expected better.

It has only had light use at the moment so I haven't had the issues and faults others have had with it.
Have already bought my partner the pro controller as I had bought him the Mario one of these and I felt bad I had given him something so cheep feeling!

Its OK, and is fine, but if you can stretch for the pro Controller then you should

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2019

Color: BlackPattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

I bought one of these for a Switch I use at home to play games like Zelda and Diablo.

Having kids, I decided I needed an extra controller for the kids.

These new controllers are much cheaper than the PRO controller, so I thought I would give it a go.

Build Quality
***************
Its OK, but not as good as a PRO controller, feels plasticy, buttons feel cheaper.

In Use
*******
Played Diablo for a whole day with it, my fingers on the joystick on the left for moving means my finger hurt after a while, its uncomfy for extended play :( A real issue if you play games a lot.

No recharging either, its AA batteries only

So Its OK as a controller, but for a slight bit more the PRO controller offers, more comfort, rechargeable, built in rumble, built in AMIBOO reader, and in my opinion significantly better build quality

Don’t buy terrible drifting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2020

Color: Pokemon ShieldPattern Name: ControllerVerified Purchase

Pros: really cool images are on these controllers the kids loved it. That’s pretty much it...

Cons:
1. didn’t notice this when ordering but it is battery powered instead of rechargeable. I mean I understand some people like this but it’s 2020 I mean everything should be rechargeable at this point it saves on battery waste that there already is so much of.
2. It disconnects all the time from the Nintendo switch that we have to constantly reconnect it.
3. We’ve had this maybe two weeks and in that time have used the controllers maybe 6 or 7 times in that time frame and both controllers we purchase have already begun to drift terribly to the left. You can’t even make the character you’re controlling move right.

Honestly anyone who is thinking of buying this because they think it’s a bit cheaper on the wallet don’t the amount of money you’ll have to spend on batteries will add up to the normal Nintendo controllers cost in no time. The price on these are already very close to the normal ones sold by Nintendo and those ones are rechargeable.

Again this is a warning to anyone thinking of buying one of these stay away from these. I’d only recommend these if you really want something kinda cool looking to look at.
