Honest Thoughts
Color: White
Best Controller I had so far and would buy it again! Super Compatible, Ergonomic to hold and weight overtime as well which matters for long game sessions, Connected so doesn't need battery life, big fan of The color, two tone, white and gray, I'm black so I think we got all the bases covered there 😂 Fits perfectly in your hand, switching back and forth from GameCube orientation back and forth, with the A, B, buttons being switched keep me honest! So I would love to believe that that comes out in my gameplay! It's truly fun to have a controller that fits my life, preferences, and still actually even enhances my ability to execute the skill expression that Bridge is the gap between countries, nations and cultures as how important this control is to me shout out to PowerA ! Great company glad I can let them know that they are doing something so amazing that unites my family, Work, Blood, & Chosens we have almost always connected to gaming, and these are the controllers they gave us to do just that and more. It's the small things 🙏🏿🙇🏿 ... show more

Works Great for Emulator Gaming on MacOS
Color: Black
Very happy with this PowerA wired Switch controller. Even though it is not described for this purpose, it works really well as a gaming controller for game emulators on my M1 MacBook Air running MacOS 13.6.1 (Ventura). It worked out-of-the-box with every emulator I've tried — including Ryujinx, Dolphin, RetroArch and OpenEmu — which makes this by far the most compatible and easy to use wired controller I have found for Mac emulator gaming. And at this price, I could not ask for more value for the money. And it does not feel cheap to me at all — I do not think they skimped on build quality at all compared to higher priced options, and instead I assume the low price is possible thanks to the fact that it is wired and therefore does not need the extra technology that requires. I highly recommend it, especially if you are specifically looking for a *wired* controller (and not a wireless) like I was, for emulator gaming on a Mac. I assume the wireless Switch controller would work just as well, but if you want a *wireless* controller for a Mac, you have more options. If you, like me, specifically wanted a *wired* controller, or you want the lowest price / barrier to entry because you just want to try it out without spending too much money up front, this is by far the best I've found because of compatibility and quality. There is an unfortunate lack of good information and advice out there if you are specifically looking for a wired controller for Mac (and that's partly with I am bothering to write this review), but this is probably the best option out there and the value I got from this specific controller offered also gave me motivation to write this review. When I have experienced minor problems, it's been due to buggy emulation software, not to a problem with this controller or its compatibility. And its been a breeze compared to other controllers, which didn't work at all for me (wired 8bitdo SNES), or felt cheap and outdated (Logitech) even if they did work. And because emulators let you map the buttons to the controls of the original system, this modern-style controller will let you comfortably play pretty much every game ever made. The only downside is if you want the experience to feel exactly like the original game system, like N64 or SNES for example — it can work with those game emulators because you can remap the buttons to make most games playable — but if you want it to feel exactly like playing the original, you obviously will have to get a dedicated controllers for each system. But this style of controller is the closest thing you can get to a universal gaming controller for all systems. And that's a limitation of all modern-form controllers, not specific to this brand, or to Nintendo Switch pro controller — which, if you don't know — is pretty much the same layout as a PS or Xbox style controller, just with different button labels. ... show more

Good controller!

PowerA products are not durable, ever had one last long. I re-buy this controller for a reason.
Color: Black
This is one of the only sane and reasonable controllers built for the Switch, in my opinion. Carrying it's legacy over to the Switch 2, where it still works perfectly fine, missing the newest features ofc...This thing has zero RGB or LEDs blasting your eyes. This thing has no reprogrammable buttons or turbo, demanding you live life your own way. This thing gives you exactly what you are supposed to have! The buttons that the game expects you to have, and nothing else. It is the holiest controller on the market. I don't care if it will break again before a year passes. This product is fighting against the evil of terrible products, while providing a pleasant under 20$ experience. I also recommend 8bitdo, who can be over-complicated sometimes, but not sheepish or obnoxious like most other brands. 8bitdo does not currently have what I want that this specific controller provides. Until then, I love this perfectly funtional plug and play Nintendo Switch controller with absolutely nothing else added. Thank you for keeping me sane. ... show more

Bought these many times, and for the price, they are outstanding!
Color: White
I pretty much refuse to pay Nintendo's prices for controllers these days. If their controllers were bullet proof and buy it for life, sure, but their controllers still suffer from stick drift, despite costing so much. So, I get these instead. Sure, some people may complain that they are wired, but they come with a generously long USB cable. The length works perfectly for my needs. As of writing this review, I am on my third one of these. My first one lasted 1 year, and the my second one lasted 2 years. They don't last forever, but for about $12, it's a steal compared to shelling out $70+ for a Nintendo controller that may or may not last as long. As far as what goes bad, it has been the joysticks. It never drifted side to side, but I think the last two of mine thought I was pressing up when I wasn't. No big deal: $12 and 1 or 2 days later and I have a new one. I honestly can't complain at all. Despite them going bad once in a while, I love the feel of the buttons and the joysticks, I love that they are wired, use no batteries, and are reliable, and I like the designs and colors I can choose from, all for $12! ... show more

Works both on PC and Switch

Works on Windows 10 PC and also on Nintendo Switch. For Switch you may need to go to System Settings from the home menu, select Controllers and Sensors (or Controllers & Accessories), and turn Pro Controller Wired Communication to On. Connection is 100% USB.

Bueno, bonito, barato
Color: Laughing Pikachu
Para lo que cuesta, está perfecto. Es un control muy económico, plástico y cableado. Si quieren un control premium pro gamer, este no es el control. Este es un cumplidor, con licencia oficial, cableado y de pókemon, que mejor?
