PowerA Enhanced Wireless Switch Controller – Black

It’s a great product and no issues so far!

Updated 7/28/23
Received a replacement on this controller and have had no problems thus far. Great company to work with.

I want to give this controller 3.5 stars only because I’m buying another one, on sale. This controller didn’t even last me a year as it began drifting a few days before its anniversary. Compressed air didn’t help it. You can’t recalibrate through the Switch even though it is a Nintendo licensed product. I will also point out that it appeared to drift not long after I first had it, but noticed that if you connect it while not in direct sight of the Switch or with one of the directional sticks pressed, it will appear as if drift has set in. Disconnecting/resetting corrected it, but that is no longer the case anymore. It definitely appears that drift has set in permanently.

I think this IS a great controller for its feel and functionality, especially for how long it retains its charge, but really disappointed it didn’t last a year. I would never pay full price for it.

I used to use the portable controllers for the Nintendo Switch and after an hour of playing my fingers and wrists would hurt and realized that it was not meant to be used for hours and hours.
So I bought the controller and what great difference, I dont feel tired or anything like that and can play for hours or days (jk) but it is very comfortable ad of course every buttons works great

It’s so pretty for starters. I was worried the design would get quickly worn on from use and its not showing any signs of wear, so good quality. It’s very comfortable to use and super easy to set up. Light weight. Charges fairly quickly and the charge lasts for a very long time. I’m very happy with this controller. I’m very pleased it came with a 10ft charging cable too. I wish I’d paid attention that its not amiibo compatible, but that’s on me so this definitely gets all the stars 😊. It’s perfect and I love it. Totally worth the money.

I bought this controller nearly 6 months ago amid concerns that they freak out and break after 3-4 months. I’m happy to report that mine still works great. It’s definitely not the best controller I own, but at the price I paid for it, I will absolutely be buying more.

The only issue I have with it is the significant dead-zone on both joy sticks. You have to move the stick about 60% of the distance before the game recognizes movement, but it’s had that since day one. It’s a minor inconvenience, but we’ve used it in Smash Ultimate for a while now and it hasn’t really caused any problems. I’m sure a pro would feel hampered by it, but any casual user will get used to it very quickly.

Overall, I love this controller. The decal looks great, the battery life is solid, it feels good in my hands, and it’s maintained functionality for 6 months. This is a solid purchase, and I’ll absolutely be buying it again.

Este control lo compre aproximadamente por $1000 en oferta aunque su precio normal es más o menos de $1500 sin oferta pero creo que hay mejores opciones por ese precio o menos.
PROS:
1)Cuenta con botones traseros muy útiles para juegos frenéticos y que necesiten rapidez
2)Tiene poco deley al jugar y no hay problemas de conexión del control
3)La batería dura muchísimo, diría q te la puedes pasar fácil 15 horas jugando sin necesidad de cargarlo
4)El diseño del control es agradable al tacto y muy fácil y cómodo de controlar, no importa si tienes las manos pequeñas o largas, se adapta a cualquiera
5)Los botones se sienten bien, ni tan duros y ni tan frágiles
CONTRAS:
1)No es tan bueno si eres muy competitivo o si lo usas demasiado ya q se desgasta muy fácilmente por eso el siguiente punto
2)Con el uso continuo y rudo de este control es muy probable que las palancas del control contraigan Joy-Con Drift, es decir que las palancas se dañen y muevan por cuenta propia
3)El control es de plastico y por ende tendrá muchos problemas como la ventilación, sudoración y demás
4)El control se puede conectar a otros dispositivos pero no funcionan del todo bien
En conclusión, ¿Vale la pena?:Si, pero solo si es con uso moderado, si lo que quieres es un control para jugar mucho tiempo o muy competitivamente esto no es para ti ya que se dañara muy pronto el control, lo mejor es que escojas otros controles con botones traseros o incluso te cambies de plataforma de juego.
Eso es todo por mi parte, gracias por su atención 😉🍷
Hago una edición para decirles que cuenta con otro punto a favor, tiene 2 años de garantía el control.

I have a very unique take on controllers because I do esports. Basically, all of my equipment gets put through the wringer, especially my controller. However, this thing has stood up to it pretty well. It responds well and isn’t prone to sticking. It can pick up on very slight movements. Connecting to switches, even several different ones, is not an issue unlike other controllers I have tested. It also has a nice feel in the hands. It might be a tad large for smaller hands, though.

I have noticed a slight issue where it will occasionally move to the left but this is relatively uncommon and easily fixed by turning the controller on and off. I have yet to have it impact gameplay.

One thing I have yet to be able to test is how it holds up over time but I have been using this controller for several hours a day every day for a month and have not noticed any wear-related issues. If I remember to, I’ll edit this later with an update.

Overall, this is quite a nice controller. There’s no bells and whistles but it does exactly what it says it does. Works just fine for casual or more intense play, even esports.
