Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say

My new de facto controller
Top reviews from the United States

- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2025Color: KirbyVerified PurchaseIt was a gift but they were so happy and excited to get it. It worked perfectly with no issues
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024Color: Spectra BlackVerified PurchaseI've had the original pro-controller almost since launch but always looked for a cheaper option for a day-to-day use. About 2-3 years ago I found this Zelda themed PowerA wired controller and decided to give it a try and, save for very few instances, it has been my main controller. That is until the left joystick started to show some drifting 😕 (I'll probably keep it to see if I can salvage it with some hall effect joysticks later). Enter the new kid on the block: same brand, more robust feel and less than half the price of the pro-controller; sign me up.
Comparing all 3 side by side, the old wired controller did feel a bit too light and plasticky when compared to the pro-controller, this new one feels more robust (akin to the pro-controller) while also being more comfortable for my adult-sized hands than the pro-controller. I also just noticed the texturing on the joysticks (see the pictures), not sure how I feel about that but the new ones do seem to provide a better grip. The joysticks also glide very smoothly and all the buttons have a very robust feel to them. For further comparison:
-Pros:
*Mappable buttons (really useful)
*Headphone jack (I don't live alone and find this very useful)
*LEDs (never had a problem finding the buttons, but it DOES look cool)
*Still cost effective
-Cons:
*No gyro (not many games that I own use it anyway)
*No amiibo (again, not essential)
*No rumble (don't care)
*Does not wake up the system (ok, this one would have been nice)
Honestly, I only switch back to the pro-controller when playing Zelda BotW or TotK (when the first 2 cons come into play). I also noticed that the new cable has a locking mechanism on the plug to the controller, not sure I like that and will be using the old cable. On the event of something tugging on the cable I'd rather have the cable disconnect (easier on the controller given the angles) than pull on the Switch and throw it to the ground (yes, this has happened, and hence why I added the wire holder next to console and why I'll use the old cable).
All in all, a very good controller for it's initial play session and, as I entitled this review, this will be my de facto controller unless I need to use an amiibo or the game experience is significantly better with gyro controls.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024Color: Spectra BlackVerified PurchaseSleek design and nice quality feel to it, a tiny bit heavier than my wireless one but I like my controllers to have some weight to them.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024Color: Spectra BlackVerified PurchaseI could not use this controller on my PC, which was what I bought it for. I happened to come across it while cleaning so I thought Id hook it up and see if I could get it to work. It worked upon plugging it in, which Im grateful for since now I dont need to purchase a new controller. However, The right analog stick is a bit laggy when playing The Elder Scrolls Onilne: Tamriel Unlimited. The buttons are also a bit laggy. I have to press them up to three times to interact with a node, or launch a skill. To be expected I guess after it sat so long in my closet. 3 outta 5, would purchase a different controller from this brand, not this one though.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024Color: Spectra BlackVerified PurchaseLights up in multiple different color settings and buttons and joysticks have no drift and still work fine even after playing smash. Many Amazon controllers are low quality and sticks drift after playing but this one is great
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024Color: Spectra BlackVerified PurchaseDuring an ice storm lockdown, my husband got into his old hobby of gaming. I got him a good headset and controller for his switch that he could plug his headset in, and this controller does the job great! He had gotten lots of compliments from his friends on how sleek the controller looks, and we all love how you can change the colors. The wire that connects to the switch can be kind of annoying as it is shorter, but if you have a chair closer to the tv, that shouldn’t be an issue. Overall, this purchase was definitely worth it!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024Color: KirbyVerified PurchaseFast, lightweight joysticks. D-pad is meh and face buttons can sometimes feel bad and stiff. Triggers and bumpers are great. The back padels are a nice addition, but I personally don't use them. Cable is nice and long.
I bought this controller for smash ultimate and it works great for that. Though I do find that the lighter sticks don't feel great outside of very fast paced games.
Overall, great for the price. I would still recommend saving a bit more and getting a pro controller if you can though.

わっほいReviewed in Japan on November 9, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars 開封前から汚れがついてるじゃないですか〜〜〜!!!
Color: Pokémon: Sweet FriendsVerified Purchase任天堂ライセンス商品であることと、デザインで購入しました。外箱デザインはTHE任天堂公式商品って感じです。
うわ、汚れてる…と思って開封したら上側にも同様の汚れが。拭いたら取れたので良いですけど、時間の経った血液のように見えて気味が悪かったですね。
有線でも無線でも使えるのかなーなんて思っていたら有線オンリーでした。どっか書いてあった?笑
少しスマブラやりましたが、3Dスティックは滑らかで動かしやすく(ちょっとダッシュ出しにくい、けど技術不足説あり)ボタン部分はカチカチ感強めでした。
今まではGCコン型のホリコン使ってました。GCコン型の方が握りやすさはあるかなー。こちらの方が重さはかなり軽いです。これはLRとZLZRの位置がJoy-Conと同じなのでボタン切り替えしなくていいのがありがたい。(シールドは手前のボタンで張りたい派)
耐久性は今のところ謎ですが、レビューほど悪い商品ではないと思います。
色合いとポケモンのイラストがめちゃくちゃ可愛くてアガります。ピチューがデザインされるのは非常に珍しいので嬉しいです。

5.0 out of 5 stars 10/10 Would Recommend!
Color: LinkVerified PurchaseVery responsive, beautiful ranges, hits all the angles. Buttons are very clickable. On the whole, great purchase. Especially when the original is so much costlier and not even themed.
