Genial
Nos encanta ste mando. Es bonito y preciso. Lo volvera a comprar sin dudar.
Very good price for a great controller.
PROS:
– Very affordable at under half the price of official Nintendo controllers.
– WORKS WITH PC! Although many people say that it does not work on a PC, I can confirm that over bluetooth this controller connects and works perfectly fine with steam games, and even with certain other games. The controller DOES NOT CONNECT TO PC OVER USB CONNECTION, which is where I’m sure a lot of reviews got confused.
– Lithium-ion battery means no AA or AAA batteries are needed, and the controller can be recharged simply with a USB-C connection for extremely quick recharge speeds. The controller can be used while being charged.
– As of 3 months of use, I have had no issues with joystick drift. Sometimes when you connect the controller to your PC on steam you will need to recalibrate the control sticks, but once they have been calibrated they should work like a charm.
– Doesn’t feel too cheap to the touch, and definitely does not look cheap. You get a very good build quality for the price you pay.
– Two programmable buttons at the back which are intuitive to set up and easy to reach.
CONS:
– The controller doesn’t have an NFC point, so you cannot scan amiibo with it. In my experience, this isn’t a problem, because if you need to scan an amiibo you can still do so with the default joycons.
– The controller doesn’t contain an accelerometer, so movement controls as found in notable games such as Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild will not work.
– You should know that the ZR and ZL buttons are digital triggers, not analog, meaning that you cannot press them down partway for partway force in games such as Rocket League or other racing games. Instead, they are either fully pressed down or not pressed down at all. In my experience this hasn’t been an issue, but if you are thinking of buying this for your PC and are into racing games like Forza this might be a deal breaker.
– Programmable buttons cannot be programmed to separate buttons from the rest of the controller – you need to bind them to something already on it. For example, you could bind the back left button to A, but you can’t make it unique from the rest of the controller.
Overall, the value for your money is extremely high with this product, since it has all the functionality of the official Pro Controller minus the NFC points and the accelerometer. I would highly recommend this controller to most people looking for a cheaper alternative to the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, and am yet to have any serious issues with it.
Good quality worth the money(The
(The reason why everything wasn’t in plastic was because I already unboxed it)
This product is amazing for all of the quality thats in it!
The swapple parts are easy to insert and outsert!
I already have the animal crossing one and its also cheap and nice!
Only one con: It gets dirty easily
If you have the money get the Fusion pro but if you can’t afford it try: Black, Black-L-Lion, Animal crossing, Nook. Inc or the White-L-Lion for the cheaper end.
We bought this for my 6 year old son to use with our Switch, and he loves it. It works well for him. It was easy to pair to the Switch, and I like that it is wireless and rechargeable.

Incomplete but on switch incomparable
The best advantage of this over the pro pad is the detachable back paddle unit. There are four paddles ala the Xbox elite 2 attached by magnetic latches if you don’t want that you can remove the whole thing and attach a provided cover hatch. Some cons are no vibration and no amibos but motion controls are present and correct one big pro it turns your switch on remotely unlike many controllers. Buttons and sticks are in my opinion superior to the already excellent pro ones but the back triggers are in a different league. Battery life is good 20hrs plus but the pro has the drop there I guess overall this is top notch but the price is a bit high though. As usual I will do a man from the future if any problems crop up none so far.
My daughter loves this controller and I love it too. Just as good as the 75 dollar pro controller I had bought when I bought the Switch.

Very bulky no rumble feature
It has a very high polling rate compared to my Gamecube controller with WiiU adapter. Movement control is better and the paddle buttons are awesome. I like the digital triggers too, instead of the analog triggers on the Gamecube controller.
After playing for awhile with the controller, my hands feel like they’ve been holding onto a large tree branch. The Gamecube controller is much more slim. PowerA could compete with Panda’s Gamecube controller (previously in development) by releasing one before they do, with digital trigger buttons and paddle buttons like on this controller. A smaller form factor is necessary for a lot of players (we have small hands).
The controller feels nearly identical to the Pro Switch controller, and the paddle buttons are very easy to reprogram and are fairly comfortable to press. They are pretty sensitive to the slightest squeeze, but trick shots with them are very easy. The joystick on the right can get in the way of the face buttons, and that is a primary reason that players gravitate towards the Gamecube controller too.
I didn’t notice any latency from the wireless, but even if it were there slightly, the polling rate on wireless (pro) controllers are nearly 5x faster than a Gamecube controller plugged into an adapter; you get nearly 5x as much movement control with way fewer dropped inputs, which is very nice.
its my first controller on switch ive been using the joy cons since i had my switch so i dont know if its normal for the analog to move on its own sometimes, i just reset it and its gone but it always come back i first noticed it just 3 days after using it its not terrible or unusable just a lil bit annoying other than that its a cool looking and feeling controlle

Ottimo prodotto
Veramente soddisfatta, articolo perfetto in tutto, ottimo design e Amazon come sempre il migliore
Excelle
Easy to pair, instructions are clear
Artwork is awesome and very detailed.
Great purchase. Would buy again.
Good purchase
Absolutely great, perfect replacement for a drifting pair of switch controllers. Brought it from Amazon Warehouse (meaning it was second hand) description said some visual damage but couldn’t see any. Works perfectly fine but can’t seem to work out how to map the secondary buttons but at the end of the day those aren’t a necessity. Cable that came with it is good length and worked so no problems there
The controller tends to feel slippery after short periods of use

This controller is easy to use I got it for my grandson he loves it charge it up and go
8months then faulty
Lasted 8 great months then left joypad started the drift…damn!!
My Mario obsessed son loves this controller. And having an actual controller instead of the joycons is really nice. Only complaint is it doesn't stay charged as long as it says it will. It says to charge every 30-45 days and we've had it a little over a month and have had to charge twice, not including initial charging.

I do like the build and ergonomics of this controller. Cool bonus to be able to program the buttons to how you see fit. One issue I had that I seen was pretty common in other reviews is the analog drift. Basically after only 3 to 4 days of owning the controller it had a drift.
The way I got around this issue was I held the top “sync” button for around 5-10 seconds until the controller shut off. I then connected the USB charge cable to the dock and controller. Then held the sync button again for another 5-10 seconds, pressed A to connect the controller and it was back to normal. I had this happen maybe 3 to 4 times in the last 4 months. It’s a little annoying but relatively easy to work around at the moment.
Otherwise a cool and comfortable controller! Best wait until they have their sales on them imo.
Beautiful controller - really good feel and the colours are pretty.
I love this controller. Feels like a Switch Pro controller for half the price, and it lights up. The only two things I’m not keen on is the fact there is no breathing mode between two colours and the cable. It is an absolute sod to disconnect. Other than these minor niggles, I love it.
Great!
Really great controller just be aware that this meatboy design is battery controlled its not a problem though as batteries do last around 36 hours!
Great value, great quality controller.
The children love this, and trying this myself as an adult I find it’s a very competent and comfortable controller. It’s not as weighty or solid as the official pro controller, but for the price of this it’s extremely good value.
A good controller with minor drift issues when low on battery
I initially went for this controller as it looked like a good, slightly cheaper alternative to the official, Switch Pro Controller.
After a week of lite use, drift has already started to appear, but this seems to happen when the controller is running low on battery. Charging the controller seemed to eliminate the drift.
Overall the controller seems to have lasted a while without any major problems.

My daughter loves Mario games and this was her Christmas gift and she loves it, great quality 🙂
Great pad for smaller hands
Great for smaller hands… I do not have smaller hands but often end up using it over larger pads because it’s just such a nice pad to use. Wish they did the same pad but in a larger size!!!!
Usb charging is nice too.
Same as pic
Great. My 9 year old loves it. Easy to pair and use
Soo good!!!
They look fantastic, my son really loves them.
Great sub for Nintendo switch pro controller.
Love powera
I love the brand powera as I trust it I have a few products by them and never had an issue this doesn’t have the silly battery pack at the back it’s a charge up one with lead
Easy to use and clean design – matches their other products
Worthwhile buy
Good price, imaging on controller is clear and looks great, I don’t play the game but the style made it a worthwhile buy

I recommend!
I’ve had this controller for a while now, used it a hell of a lot and have no signs of drifting which I’m very happy about. It’s feel great in your hands, very easy to use. I haven’t taken advantage of the pro buttons on the back as it’s not needed for the games I play, so I can’t comment on their performance.
Good for the price. Dual sock not available.
It is a good product. But unfortunately, it does not vibrate on the games like the other controllers.
Comfortable with premium feel
Looked around for a whole before finally pulling the trigger. Have had it a few months and the battery life is great. I’ve been playing Breath of The Wild, Mario Kart Deluxe & Sunshine Mario with it and they all respond quickly to the inputs. Only gripe is having to re sync it each time.
Amazing
Amazing controller, feels just like the official pro controller howver it doesn’t have motion controls or amibo scanning, and the buttons are slightly more mushy than expected.

Great Controller!!!
This is a amazing controller for the Nintendo Switch it works well has good battery and feels good quality although can be a little tricky to play some games as the size of it is a little small. But apart from that I definitely suggest this product!!!
very pleased, matches pro controller in most areas
very pleased, matches pro controller in most areas feels a little on the light side but doesn’t effect use.
Batteries are a bit inconvenient, but you know what you’re getting into.

Controller with no rumble in 2021
Gamepad is good, feels high quality and battery life is awesome. Sticks are solid, shape is perfect and connects fast. However, I have some serious issues with this controller. It is 2021, how can you possibly justify not having rumble in any controller?? There is also no way to forcibly turn the controller off, this normally wouldn’t be an issue but ANY input starts the controller attempting to connect and will also wake the switch, so if you carry it in a bag you will arrive at your destination with an overheated and completely discharged switch. One is a genuine oversight, the other is just bafflingly lazy. Purely as a controller it is great, but just save the money and get the proper switch controlle
Hubby loves it.
I purchased this for my husband, who is a big gamer, and he absolutely loves it. Not only because it’s Mario but he tells me it’s a fabulous controller.
Better than I expected!
It took some time to figure out how to set up but after reading the instructions I did it easily. The control itself is better than I expected. It is the perfect size for my long fingers and hand. The joysticks feel firm and have good grip. My favourite part though has to be the design of the entire control.
Does the job, but wouldn't pay full price.
I got this at a discounted price compared to the usual powerA controller price and it does the job just fine. Build quality deffinitely isn’t premium but for what I paid it’s perfectly adequate.
Rechargeable and cute!
I ordered the animal crossing rechargeable controller. It comes with a long (maybe 3m?) cable which means i can charge the controller and not be sat directly next to an outlet. Not that I need to charge it often, the battery lasts quite a while! Super easy to connect to the switch and as a bonus, super cute too.
So I’m reading through a bunch of the reviews, and I don’t know if I got lucky or if it just happens that people with a defect in their product are more likely to post reviews, so as to warn others.
MY controller feels incredible. The faceplates fit so snugly that when I handed a friend the controller, it blew his mind that the faceplate just pulls off. The buttons also all feel high quality, and the sticks feel tense compared to most 1st party controllers. I love this controller, and changing to it alone has noticeably increased my input consistency in Smash Ultimate.
I’m going to try and point out the differences this controller has, because it also seems like a bunch of the negative reviews just point out differences as if they are a bad thing. So here we go…
– The face buttons are slightly taller and smaller (area) compared to a Pro Controller (Pro for the rest of this). They have great confirmation on press, and tend to press straight up and down without tilting to the side.
– The back triggers are… more pointy(?) than a pro. I actually think this is a huge positive for Smash, because you often want very brief button presses in that game, and it’s very easy to press the trigger and roll off precisely. The triggers also have less travel than a pro. I’m not actually sure if this affects the trigger performance in games that have analogue triggers? Or if switch has analog triggers?
– The controller has some weight to it. It has no rumble, so they probably just added weight. It feels great in my hands, and helps the grip imo. It is notably heavier than a Pro.
– The sticks have higher resistance than a Pro. I like this, but it’s preference. I haven’t had the problem with being unable to get to “full run” distance in a game where run speed is related to tilt. Not sure if I am lucky or they addressed the problem.
– The base sticks are also completely concave. On a Pro, there is a dip, but the center of the controller is convex. It’s much more comfortable and effortless to move the sticks on the Fusion.
– The rubber grip is very high quality feeling. The whole surface of the controller feels premium, but I like the rubber much more than I thought. It also doesn’t just collect dust like I thought it might.
– The controller can be used on PC through steam, just like the pro controller can. It is tedious.
– I like that it has a headset jack, but the switch itself cannot utilize it unless the controller is plugged into the console and is on wired mode, which is a bummer.
– The extra sticks that come in the case are purpose driven. While I do think it would be fine if the controller came with 2 of each stick, they are each meant for one of the sides. The tall stick is for the right thumbstick to play shooters with. The longer stick gives you easier leverage and makes aiming easier. That additional control isn’t really ever worth it on the left side. The dome stick was for the left side, which is the finger most likely to hold forward for long periods of time. The dome will put less pressure on your finger. I can still understand some people just wanting to play with 2 of the same sticks though, so slight minus points, even though people that want to use the dome on the right stick are psychopaths.
– The paddles… I kind of like them? I think they are basically inferior to the paddles on a Scuf controller in every way. They are easy to map, and easy to remove (both individually and the entire module), but their positioning and resistance are sub-par. While the weight of the controller won’t press them on my hands, it’s close, and unless you have real good grip control you will likely end up pressing them. I’ve had 2 scuff controllers, and I think they are vastly superior paddles. I also remove the paddles when I play smash, just so they aren’t in my way.
– The anti-friction rings around the sticks are nice, but not as nice as the xbox elite series 2. Still better than stock Pro controller.
– The case doesn’t have a carry handle. Otherwise, it is a wonderful case to be included in this bundle! I would like a handle, and I would like a spot that would securely hold the paddle module when it is removed. It has space for everything else you’d want to hold for this controller.
Sorry for the very lengthy review. I wanted to make sure all the information I could get was out there. Overall, this controller feels amazing. I’ve owned 2 scuf controllers and several other non-premium 3rd party controllers for many consoles and PC. As far as how a controller “feels” in my hands, both form factor and how all the buttons and sticks feel, this is probably my favorite controller. I really like that the paddle module is removable, but it’s easily the least good part of this controller for me. I also think this is a wonderful price point if you want a premium feeling controller without spending like 200$. I have owned mine for several months now, and I’ve played a LOT of smash. That game isn’t kind to controllers, and my Fusion Pro is still feeling great. I will update whenever I inevitably get stick drift =)
Love i
Pokemon controller I’m in love with, it’s a little heavy but not that much, pairing is easy comes with wire to charge or u can wirelessly charge. I would highly recommend getting the controllers for the switch as thery are easy to use in some cases for game. The Pokemon controller came very well package and in it own Pokemon pickchue case
Excellent controlle
Really well-made, solid controller. Feels great to use and the colour is superb. Highly recommend!
Works well, comfortable to hold in your hands
Comparable to the feel of an Xbox one controller in your hands, just without the AA battery weight.
My only gripe is that this controller doesn’t support vibration.
Wireless controlle
This was perfect gor my grandson and he loves it.
Great controlle
I’ve been isolating due to covid and played on the switch everyday, battery has only needed changed once in about 2 weeks but I have used it for several hours everyday. Easy to use controller and comfortable to hold. Looks great aswell with the animal crossing design.
Great little game pad
I have gone through 2 sets of Joy-Con controllers that I usually add to the game pad holder but after the se ond one went I went for the all in one game pad and this little beauty is ideal, not too light like some of the other wireless game pads I have tried.
It is a little small for some but even with my big hands it’s not a problem. Comfortable, robust and generally all round good product, if this one breaks I will quite happily buy another.
A wonderful purchase
The item arrived quickly and works wonderfully. It was bought because of drift from the joycons that come with the switch and it works wonderfully both in tabletop or console mode. Could not reccomend more especially for the price.
Great, but took a while to set up
Works great at the moment. But took a while to figure out how to set up. The small button at the top must be pressed to sync. Other than that i love it.
works great for nintendo switch but most people wouldnt use the paddles so should probably buy another controller
one thing to note as of now t here is no way to use this on pc no support nativly at all which is disappointing for the price if you do want it for pc it’s a great option with a software called rewasd which is 5 but not everyone trusts 3rd party software so be aware
Yep
Great item, responsive on games and battery lasts ages.
Will buy again.
It's okay
Looks really good and works okay, sometimes it does weird things in games. Also it’s really cheep feeling and doens’t feel like it would handle a drop from a height.
Button feel a bit ‘cheap’
Nice controller, comfortable to use but buttons feel a bit cheap compared to an Xbox or PlayStation controller. Better than using the Joy Con controllers on the adapter if you’re used to normal controllers.
Great Controlle
if your a Switch owner or know a family member or friend who owns one I would recommend it, cheaper then rest controllers, great easy setup, and long lasting battery.
Good looking, works perfectly
A really good looking controller, my son loves it.
The pictures and colours are really bright and vivid, and look good.
Connected quickly and easily to the switch, and works exactly as it should.
Worth the money
Fantastic quality, easy to setup and good for little hands, fantastic battery life
AMAZING
This controller is simply the best investment I have made for my Nintendo switch!
The controller I received is rechargeable, I’m not sure if this has changed since previous reviews, but either way I would be over the moon. It’s gorgeous, and makes gaming so much more fun- in my opinion anyway!
Don’t be put off by other reviews is all I can say!
Great little controlle
I bought the PowerA Nano, stupidly not really realising it’s a smaller controller (perhaps list it separately?) however – it’s still very sturdy and weighty, the size difference isn’t too noticeable and it all-round feels like a genuine Nintendo product. Nice that it came with a long cable and a carrying bag too.
Supurb! Comfortable and long charge time
Amazing. So good to get a controller to class the Switch as a console in my house rather than my primary handheld. The controller is gorgeous with such a good feel. I don’t think I’ve charged it again yet. Great battery
This item needs Duracell Batteries and does not work with basic AA batteries...
My 11yr old son absolutely loves this. It’s a great design and comfortable to use however has no way of switching the pad off completely after use properly. And switching back on at the slightest touch. Which means the Batteries runout of power very quickly. So have had to teach my Son to take the Batteries out once he has finished using it…
Okay
It’s a good controller on a budget. The buttons feel a bit cheap and there’s no vibration. But if you have the extra money.. please get the switch Pro Controller its so much better.
Great controlle
Can’t really say much else. Excellent controller for the Switch. Paired up quickly and no issues whatsoever.
Excellent controlle

Solid controller for the price
Very well built with long battery life. Does everything the Nintendo pro controller does aside from two things. The first being the lack of vibration, and the second …you can’t check your battery remaining from the Nintendo home page. Those two things are very minor considering the price difference. I also much prefer the more textured grip of the power a controller.
Overall definitely a must buy!
Good charge, long wire, great controller.
Nice controller. I like the fact that you can use it whilst it’s charging and it has a nice long wire. It’s great that there aren’t any batteries to have to replace. The battery lasts too, so you’re not having to keep charging it frequently. It feels nice in the hand and is a good alternative controller if you use a switch lite.

Best affordable controller for Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite
PowerA Enhanced wireless controller for Nintendo Switch
As an owner of both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite I wanted to save myself problems with Joy Con drift and looked for a wireless controller, which would allow me to play on them in a hassle free way.
PowerA Enchanced wireless controller for Nintendo Switch is a decent alternative to official Nintendo Switch wireless controller. It is cheaper, although well built. The quality of plastic used is good, a shape is well designed and even longer sessions with Switch are not problematic anymore. What’s more, it is still marked with “Official Nintendo Licensed Product” mark, what guarantees 100% compatibility.
The controller works great with Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite, although usage of Pro controller needs to be activated in Switch menus to be able to use it.
The controller uses 2x AA batteries (or rechargable batteries) and allows for many hours of play without recharging/replacing batteries.
All of the above for even a half of price of official controller when you hunt a proper bargain.
I can recommend this product to anyone looking for a Switch controller.
No integrated rumble motors but has excellent battery and great analog sticks
Controller feels great in the hand and is very light. The analog sticks are VERY precise and pick up even the slightest of movement with no dead zone like a lot of other 3rd party controllers suffer from. if you can get past no rumble motors then this is the ultimate controller for the Switch.
Nice controller, albeit overpriced.
Really nice wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch. I’m not gamer, so can’t tell you how good the additional buttons are, etc., but this is a sturdy, comfortable controller that’s light and easy to use. The rechargeable battery is a real plus. I’m pleased with it overall, but feel it’s slightly overpriced for what it is.
The best controller I own.
Though I do prefer heavier controllers. I absolutely love this one. It’s my main controller for when I’m playing on my monitor and so far it’s been amazing! No drift, the design is still perfect and it’s response is amazing! Only downside is the lack of rumble effect. But if you can get over that like me then this controller is amazing.
Great controller even compared to an elite controller.
So far so good, alot of reviews seem to be out of date, it doesn’t feel cheap and looks better than the pro controller, it’s closer to am Xbox elite controller than the pro controller. Obviously it doesn’t fit as nicely in your hands and isn’t as heavy as the elite controller, but it does remind me of an elite controller.
I really needed a controller to use for my Switch, as holding the entire console for any extended gaming hurts my hands. I was going to get an adapter to just use my Xbox controller, but I sold my Xbox so I turned to PowerA.
It paired quickly to the switch [Home screen > Controllers > Change grip/order > Press the sync button on the controller > once it shows up, press A] and worked great in game.
I also really needed a controller that would pair to Steam on my PC as well, because some games I play I really just prefer having a controller. There were some mixed reports about this working with Steam, so I took a gamble since it was only $35. It works, but you will need to reconnect it to your PC with bluetooth, and then select the controller in Steam every time it seems. To do so, follow these steps-
Turn bluetooth ON for your PC > On the controller, press and hold the Sync button > on your PC, click “Add bluetooth or other device” > Select “Bluetooth, mice, pens, or audio” > Select the device. It shows up as a Pro Controller > Go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings > Select “Switch Pro Configuration Support” > The controller should show at the bottom, select it > Play games comfortably!!
When it’s successfully paired, you can exit the controller settings, and open games normally through steam, or go through the Big Picture mode and start them. As long as the controller stays on, then it will automatically connect to games and you can just pick it up and start moving with analog sticks rather than WASD. You can also select to use Nintendo button layout, otherwise it’ll default to Xbox layout. I prefer the Nintendo layout, so I have mine selected but this is completely optional.
As for the build quality, it feels cheap, I’m not gonna lie. But it was like half the price of any other controller on the market, does the same thing, and looks a bit more cute in my opinion. Even with batteries, the controller is super lightweight. To some this might be a negative, because it does feel nice to have a sturdy controller, but I actually like that it’s so cheap and lightweight since that puts less strain on my hands during lengthy game sessions.

This product works great looks lovely as i love animal crossing at very reasonable price thanks
Fits brilliantly with the official animal crossing switch design, with some flaws.
Unfortunately, this controller comes with a few cons. To begin with the weight is far too light. It almost feels like there’s nothing at all inside, which for some bizarre reason doesn’t feel comfortable. Secondly there is no rechargable batteries contained in the controller; a feature of most modern controllers these days. Even if some do die after a few hours of play. Lastly there is no vibration. Now this is a big issue for the game it’s been skinned to be paired with. Fishing in animal crossing requires you to feel the vibration to get it right. When there isn’t any it increases the difficulty level exponentially.
Hopefully Power A move to just add more to the controllers then a pretty skin as otherwise they are a great controller company.

Good looking controller, son loves it. Just a shame it not rechargeable. Still a nice controlle
It’s a cheap feeling controller. I personally don’t mind because i’m not an intense player, and it works for the amount of time i play as well as the type of games i play. It is wireless but it does require two AA batteries which is fine, just not the most optimal. The buttons are quite clicky and loud, they feel good but aren’t as smooth and quiet as the actual pro controller. The R and L buttons rattle if you shake the controller, so if you’re playing something that utilizes the motion of the controller it can be annoying to hear the rattling when you shake it. Overall it’s an OK controller, it’s cute and it works, but if you’re looking for something that feels expensive and well made you’re better off skipping this one!
Good for more players
Battery runs out too fast otherwise handy for playing on the big scree
Great item

Bought for Christmas for my husband. He asked for a wired controller and I ended up getting this as a surprise. Needless to say he’s over the moon with it.
Had both sword and shield games and is so impressed with the quality, price and overall value. Usually you find that once you start using these kinds of printed controllers regularly, they start to wear off with the pictures but this is still looking pretty brand new (and it’s been used almost every day so far) x
Thank you
Perfect for the switch, no complaints
Bought this for my wife who loves playing Pokemon shield and works perfectly for the switch!
