You keep saying it only lacks motion controls but it also lacks rumble and amiibo support.

Never said it was important, just pointing out that it should have still been mentioned in the review for people to at least have accurate information. Might be important to some people.

It's so sexy! I hope it has a rumble pack too. After a few drinks who knows what could happen...
Wow these looks amazing, i didnt even kno about them b4 this vid
I was going to buy this since I saw the preorders go up. This is like the first video I've seen anyone talking about it. They look so niiiice I can't wait till they come out.
Thanks for showing off the analog caps...
That Zelda one is sooo nice looking, I hate gold coloring, but it's subtle and I actually like it.

But also a scam
Considering the joycons lack a decent dpad it'd be nice to hear thoughts on the dpads on these controllers. Whether they're responsive and good or wonky and crap like the 360 pad. I take it there's no vibration either? A lot of details missed out that would have been nice to have in this review.
PowerA makes some damn good Controllers! Wii U mini Pro was fantastic and I have big hands
My brother got me this for my birthday, I love this controller.
Tried this on Fedora Linux 39 and this tutorial still works even 6 years later. Very Impressive
Helpful video, man. Thanks!
I've been looking for a cheap multiplayer option to play Minecraft with my son, seen these at Walmart and not certain they would work! Thanks for clearing showing me all about these controllers, I'll definitely be buying one soon! Also, NEW SUBSCRIBER here! 😀
I didn't like when I opened up my controller the d-pad is different to the picture on the box.
my powered a controller doesnt work or connect anymore , i havent used it in a while and it wont seem to work anymore . is anyone experiencing this before ?
Tbh I have huge hands and the only thing I don’t like is the single joy com sideways. the joycons in the grip feels fine. Still, these pro options are really tempting...
I must get my hands on one of those. Thanks for the good info. I haven't bought a pro controller because I don't like black. I'm a fan of color. Which is why I bought the switch with the red and blue joycons.
I think it's best to save for the pro controller . 🙈 IT'S SO GOOD TO GAME WITH. But these do LOOK spicy💗

i get this controller and its pretty neat but the left stick isnt working is there any way to fix it?
I definitely recommend PowerA controllers. They look good, feel good and the wire is really long so you don’t really have to worry about where to play it. Also for people saying that it doesn’t have motion controls, you don’t really need them. It’s really only crucial to Odyssey and Splatoon 2. And for the NFC reader it doesn’t have, just have the right joycon with you if you’re using amiibos and use that! Also, you know how the Switch comes with a joycon-grip? Yeah. I got the PowerA controller also because the joycon-grip has a use! Sure, it could be used for multiplayer, but what if you have barely any local friends (Like me...)? If you have barely any friends that play with you locally and you had the wireless controller, you would just throw that grip in the trash! WHY?! So I’d say get the PowerA one. It’s cheap and great. [EDIT] would you rather lose $40(AUS) or $90(AUS)
Seems like i'd be a decent "player two" controller, but so far, i think Nintendo has done a pretty good job making motion control part of the overall control scheme, without making it the dominating one. I've gotten use to it in BotW and not sure i really want to play without it. Mario i can kinda take it or leave it. It doesnt feel intrusive. If i ever need one for a 2nd controller, i may get one. We'll see.
I actually love using this more than my pro controller because of the Dpad. 2d games feel very good (better than the pro imo). But I do wish the pro had the same because of wireless and that kickass battery life.
So , I found a couple of PowerA controllers with no charging cable. What cables can I use instead ?
When I got my nintendo switch for christmas, I got one of these with it, it was the Super Mario theme.
Can you connect a headset to this controller
Awesome I've been waiting for a cost effective alternative to the Switch controller this fits my budget and still looks sweet...I'm leaning towards Mario version ...plus I don't mind being plugged in to dock mode...matter of fact I'm on my way to GameStop to pick up as I write this...CHEERS!!!
other than splatoon or shooters with motion control coming to the switch (or really any motion aiming) i think i would really like to have this. Especially for something like street fighter 2 or Neo Geo fighting games since i can't afford a fight stick for my switch and am too lazy to make my own.
thinking of getting my daughter a switch but controllers are expensive, is the motion control really needed can i just buy a power a controller or do you need the joycons for every game
Why does the cord come out of the controller if it only works wired

Wires break easily, better to replace a cable for £1 than the entire controller for £30, but then you could also argue that it's more likely to break now it's removable.

The wire comes off so that can swing the controller like a bolo or lasso, and the wire then releases the controller so that it can sail across the air like a missle, bashing your prey over the head, instantly killing or knocking them unconscious. HUZZAH YOU WIN!!!!!
are the triggers clicky like the joy-cons?
Does this control actually avoid the characters from moving on its own. I have that issue with the joy cons
So you can’t use the controller in hand held mode right?
@noahboi3666

Nope
They do look beautiful, but I rely on the motion controls way too much in Splatoon 2 and even in Zelda for simple things like accuracy adjustment when shooting. Shame, as that Zelda one looks lush!
you can buy a USB C to Micro USB to have it work on the switch in table top mode. BUT: you need a stand for the switch which was a must have in the first place because the kickstand isn't the best.

I bought a Zelda BOTW style Wired Pro Controller a year and a half ago, and just recently, it stopped working. My Switch won’t read it at all. Is there a way to fix this?
I wish that brand could do some new joy cons with the analog sticks in the right spot.
/noclip shirt. Good Stuff :)
I'd buy that Zelda one just to collect it, thats how sick it looks. The Mario one is great too. I'd also by a pro controller because I want to be able to play with it while in tabletop mode if I decide to to use it in handheld mode.
I just bought the Zelda one but it doesn't have removable thumbsticks..did they do away with them?
However...where do I get a new cable that actually fits?
Is this only for switch? Can we use this for retropi or pc games?
What are the power a controller cords called? I’m losing my mind looking for one on the internet
Can you press in the analog stick?
How many controllers can I plug in at one time? Like for two player
Because there usb does that mean they can work for PC too?
Could you put where you got the controllers in the description
Can you tell me how to connect a wire controller for Nintendo to an Apple iPad pro
There is also a little dimple in the center of the charger port that prevents you from using another type of charger. Failed to mention that detail guys. SO if the SPECIFIC WIRE shorts out then you're SOL and have to buy another controller all together.
but how long is the cable?

Have you tried the d-pad with street fighter?? I'm always wanting a controller with a great d-pad. I'd rather use that than an analog stick.
Those designs are like a million times better then anything available for the pro controller.
How long is the cord ?
Does it have Analogue triggers or digital? I need to know...
I just want to know if the dpad is good since no one has mentioned it..
Definitely buying I have a bluetooth adapter for my Switch from Mayflash. I could connect it wirelessly.
hello, i bought a wired bulbassaur power a control for nintendo switch, but i don't know the reason why the nintendo switch is failing to recognize the control Can you say, why the nintendo switch don't recognize the controller?
I wish there was a version of the pro controller looking like that. I don't want a wired controller though..
Can someone please help me. I bought 2 of these controllers for my Switch and neither one is working. I tried plugging in the cord into all 3 USB slots and none of them are working. None of the buttons work on the controller. Am I doing something wrong? I can't believe both controllers are broken on arrival. I also tried plugging something else into the USB port and it worked just fine so it's not the dock.
It's a bummer they don't have a wireless option! I liked my Power A controllers for Wii U
Probably lacks the NFC reader too.

Couldn't you usr a converter to use it on the bottom of the switch out of docked
i have the princess controller that needs a cord that has a little grove in it, do you know where i can buy one because i lost it
The controllers looks nice I might get one
Can you use these in Portable mode?
How do you remove the analogs? I can't
Can you use 8 of these on a single switch?
Lost my wire for the controller where would I get the wire from and what do I type for the wire

But does the control pad (+ pad) have the same issues that the Pro Controller has? That's what I want to know!
The joysticks 1 of the 2 I bought are broken they just stopped working right the left one moves on its own and the second one just stopped working entirely
Aren't there certain shrines that require motion controls? If so it would seem odd to have a Zelda themed pro controller if you can't play the entire game with it.
I WOULD buy them, but the no motion controls is a turn off for me, personally. I absolutely love Splatoon 2 and I use motion controls. I would love to get them for Mario Kart and Zelda, etc but it wouldn't be worth the extra $30 if I were to already own a pro controller. Just my thoughts, thanks for the review!
I can’t confirm this with fact, but I believe if you purchase a usb c adapter for the controllers usb cable, it works when the switch is not docked.

Those this works on pc?? I don't have a switch but i would love to use them on my pc.
Can you use headset with the controller
The NoClip shirt ;)
How many can be used at once?
Woahhh this is about design!
Ijust ordered one on amazon
Do they have motion controls? I want one for splatoon, and it's kind of a necessity
Do they have HD rumble?
I got one now and it good. though I don't like how loud the control sticks are when they hit against the sides of the controller. its nice and they've dropped in price i got one for 15 bucks
Damn that Zelda controller looks awesome
Couldnt you use a type c adapter for it
With the correct usb wud these controllers work on an Xbox? Has anyone tried it?
I want both!
My power A controller drifts off to the left right and up and down and i don’t know how to fix it
Why does my wired controller have buttens on the back?
Does it have a NFC reader?
