PowerLead Switch Controller – Wireless Pro Controller
PowerLead Switch Controller – Wireless Pro Controller for Switch OLED/Switch Lite, Switch Remote with Motion Support, Dual Vibration, Gyro Axis, Wake Up Function, and Adjustable Turbo
As the resident gamer amongst my friends with a vast array of Switch accessories, everyone keeps enviously eyeing the slick, snazzy PowerLead wireless controller I use for marathon Smash Bros sessions thanks to its comfort and responsiveness. The buttons and joysticks feel fantastically tactile and precise as well whether I’m indulging in broad sword-swinging adventures in expansive open worlds or engaging in white-knuckle Mario Kart showdowns. The built-in gyro even keeps motion controls as smooth as silk.
Great Quality Controller for the price.
This is a third-party Switch Pro Controller equivalent. Its design appears to closely mimic a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
Whilst I do not actually own a Nintendo Switch, I was able to test this controller connecting via Bluetooth to a Windows based laptop. It was very easy to do this. All I did to setup the controller was to pair the controller in the Windows 10 Bluetooth settings and everything just worked seamlessly.
Everything I have found with this controller has been solid. It feels nice and holds well in hands. All the elements (analogue sticks, D-pad and buttons) function perfectly. I was actually a little surprised because often “third-party” controllers can sometimes lack quality. It is safe to say that this is not the case here whatsoever.
The battery has lasted well so far. My partner and I play casual games a few nights a week for a couple of hours each time. We have found generally that it is very much a case of not really having to worry much about the battery life.
While I myself am generally not too fussed about the look of controllers (I don’t look at it when I use it), the design is perhaps a bit too funky for my liking but we got used to it somewhat.
We have been using the controller wirelessly via Bluetooth. We have not noticed any input lag when using the controller, although we have not specifically measured this. G
There are turbo buttons and also some rumble motors within the controller, but I have not particularly tested these features extensively.
This is a Nintendo switch pro style controller with a cool and different shark design.
The pad connected easily with my switch, simple to do following the instructions.
The pad feels OK, solid enough build buts it’s quite light weight, some may find this a preference but I prefer it to be a little heavier. All buttons works as they should, the analogue sticks function OK without any drift issues, I did find the directional pad a bit inaccurate when using it on 2d fighting games making harder to pull of moves on games like street fighter 2 but is still usable.
I like the design of the shark on the face of the controller, its a cool design and my son loves sharks so he likes to use it when we play 2 player games.
It comes with a charging cable and the battery and lasts us over 2 days or more depending on use.
Overall a decent back up controller or for an extra player.
It has many good features but let’s start with the cons. It lags or drifts from time to time as it would be loosing connection with the console or there was some lagging in the conection. Not sure if this is the fault of the console or the controller but I have never experienced this with my joy-cons or other official controllers. This is the only bad thing and it doesn’t affect gaming too much as it happens only once an hour or two of playing.
Now the good things: it feels look really cool with blue sharks printed top. Blue colour is very vivid and I really like it. Buttons feels good under your finger and there is no problem with buttons sticking up or being a little bit loose. Joysticks works very well with fast reaction times and in most cases without any lagging or drifting ( except it does this short temporary lagging for whatever reason).
Battery holds a charge very well so you will have many hours of gaming without worry of running out of battery.
It is nice to have the different strengths of vibration, however I am not sure why aftermartek controllers have ‘turbo’ buttons? I know it might help in some games but it feels like it is a cheat button.
Also the R2 and L2 triggers are designed slightly differently. It is strange feeling at first but it is easy to get used to it especially that these buttons are curved more and your finger won’t slip off the trigger button so easily.
Overall it is worth the money as it costs half the price of pro controller but it isn’t too far behind and it be a good addition to you Switch console.
This is a Nintendo-compatible controller with a neat-looking front design, or ‘skin’. The controller has all the usual control features and is attractive to look at and hold. Overall, there is a lot to like about this device. It has dual motors for a good level of haptic feedback and also a turbo button, a feature not present on the standard Switch controllers.
I really like the following features:
* The case has a matte finish on the front, which reduces the number of finger prints. It’s a minor point, but it serves to maintain the attractiveness of the device.
* The connection lights are nice and bright.
* The underside is textured for anti-slip, so you won’t lose control of your controller. It is nevertheless quite comfortable to hold in the hand. The joysticks are also textured on the sides, which is a nice touch. You might get away with not needing extra joystick caps with this one.
* The joysticks are some of the first that I have found that are similar in feel to the originals. This makes it easier to switch from one controller to another.
* The lower rear buttons have a trigger-style mechanism, again for extra grip.
* Pairing was really easy when holding down the home button.
The following I didn’t like so much:
* The button layout is not the same as a standard Nintendo controller layout, with the home button, screenshot button, and turbo button swapped. This can cause some confusion in the heat of the moment while playing a game. These are not the primary controls, but they are a nuisance nonetheless.
* Back bumper labels are incorrect. This is not really a big point, just worth noticing.
* I would have liked a little bit of a softer edge where the case sides meet. This is quite a sharp and defined edge. It’s just a comment from someone who has seen a lot of injection moulding, and it’s a minor point.
Altogether, this is a nice controller. The only problem of significance is the button rearrangement, and you could get used to the new layout quite quickly. Easy to recommend.
The PowerLead Switch Controller is a must-have for Nintendo Switch gamers. It’s compatible with the Switch OLED and Switch Lite, offering motion support, dual vibration, gyro axis, wake-up function, and adjustable turbo. These features enhance gameplay and convenience, making it an essential addition to your gaming setup.
The controller is really good, I’m really pleased with it. It’s responsive and the buttons are snappy. I like that fact that it vibrates when playing games. It’s good to hold and lights up. Nice that it comes with spare cover. Also comes with all the cables needed to link with my switch.
So pleased with this controller. My son wanted one for playing games on his PC (windows 11) The controller was picked up easily by Bluetooth and works great. Can also be used on switch and his android tablet which were just as easy to set up.
Battery life is good and charge time quick. You get an additional magnetic skin which was a nice bonus.
The instructions we tiny but they are all here in the description on Amazon and you can download the pdf for future reference.
This was my second time ordering the controller as the first one failed to be delivered. I’m glad I tried again and I’m thinking of ordering one more.
I have purchased this joystick for a friend and he loved it.
It is made of very good quality material and very nice looking design.
I would definetly recommend it for the very best quality and very good value for money.
This is a great controller. I bought it for use with gaming PC. I have windows 11. It was pretty much plug and play for. I bought it specifically for Elden Ring, which I have through Steam.
The wireless connection is Bluetooth, and was very easy to connect to PC. PC recognised it straight away, I didn’t need to do any config, just loaded my game and that was it!
The comment I would make is that I didn’t realise there was a difference between the layout of the “x, y, a, b” buttons on switch or Xbox controllers. So if you are used to an Xbox controller, you may need to re-map the buttons to match what you’re used to.
This is easily done in-game for some games, and there are some tutorials to help you do this in the steam app if needed.
Battery life is very good, and no glitches with the blue tooth connection. Controls are comfortable and responsive, and it even comes with a second skin. Overall very impressed with ease of use, quality and performance.
This controller is really good for its price, there is no need to buy expensive alternatives. I bought this because it offers true wireless connectivity without the need for plugging in an extra USB dongle. Really happy with the purchase!
The controller is great. The thumb sticks are smooth,built-in 2 vibration motors, I like that it come with 2 colourful faceplates that light up, motion control and wake up option for switch, custom buttons and adjustable turbo.
Sons friend had a switch controller so my son wanted one too, had a look and thought this looked good. Two changeable faces with the controller, lights up in different colours and is really funky! Now is his go to controller!
We all know that the controllers that come with the Nintendo switch are rubbish. This controller is perfect for all games. It lights up, has the rumble feature and has replaceable faceplates. The controller is comfortable to hold. It also has settings to enable the buttons to go turbo, so if there is a game that requires the buttons to be bashed just click a button on the back of the controller and the button you wish to be turbo’d and it’s done. Easy to use. No issues with setting up and charges pretty fast. The battery lasts a long time too. Can be used wired or wireless so no delays with gameplay.
The product is good and easy to hold for a casual gamer like me, the battery last way better than i thought. The product can work with my pc and experienced no lag at all
