Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The controller feels super lightweight. It is lighter than some controllers i've had for cheaper.

The deadzones of the sticks are a little high but they're tuned well around it. I love the extra pro * and make it easier to hit and do certain things. My only problem with this controller is the * do have a bit of resistance when pressing. Typical fo... Read More

The cable is nice and thick, and firmly clicks into the controller. The headphone jack works ok.

Cons

It creaks loudly and constantly when gently handled. I'm not sure where the positive reviews are coming from, unless people are simply fawning over the design.

Even if power a did respond and replace defective controllers, it's not a reasonable or environmentally friendly solution. It's better to make a lasting product from the start.

Left analog directional pad stopped functioning properly. Right joystick now spins uncontrollably. Had to use adapters to actually be able to use it. Wire input is sunk in too far to fit a longer cord.

Quality

I'm giving it 4 stars simply because i feel it is not of a high enough quality to be a 5 star controller.

If my husband wants to play something with me, one of us uses the joycons and included controller adapter and the other uses this.

Cant say how it works with the switch.

Price

No vibration but totally expected for the price is being offered.

Competitiveness

I have had some powera products before and no issues there - this controller is no exception.

Among the three powera controllers i own, this one sounds like it was cheaply made.

It is made of a hard, untextured plastic throughout that can get a little uncomfortable to squeeze during extended sessions.
