this is awesome and so helpful!! I have watched and read several reviews on the difference with the pro and non pro, and yours explains so much better with so much more detail, thank you!

Just bought the PDP on a whim today and stumbled on your video when I started wondering if there’s a better option. Great comparison video dude! You forgot to mention that the Switch Pro controller also has the NFC reader for amiibo cards and figurines

Can I have the PDP afterglow controller, all my friends and me subscribe to your channel.

I got the PDP one since the design really caught me. I don’t particularly miss the rumble. And you can disable the back buttons, which I did. I do wish it had USB-C instead of my Micro but I digress. I’ve loved using it. I don’t regret not getting the Nintendo one.

Thank you for the informative video ! Best one out there by far. Thanks to you I have decided to get the Afterglow since it fits my needs better. Although I also do consider buying the pro later if there is a sale. Thank you again and you have definitely earned a sub ! Keep up the great work

Great review thanks for the info. I just got the afterglow and I'm looking forward to using it 😊

Awesome! Thank you for the comparison. I look forward to learning more from you :)

Legit brought the afterglow today so I’m stoked that was your favourite 😹

I have a black Power A Nintendo switch pro controller and I have a regular black Nintendo switch pro controller and I have a Mario Nintendo switch pro controller ask well I like it it way good

Just got a power a wired controller Pikachu pixel that has those micro usb with the notch if for some reason lets just if say the power a cord that comes with it fails a easy fix for it if don't mind taking a pair of flush cutters to the notch on the inside of the plug and cut that flush off then just got to find a micro usb cable that fits in that shape. I would strongly suggest walmart 6ft onn micro usb cable they seem to fit no problem with the mod done .

The PDP Afterglow is my favorite controller aside from the real Pro Controller.

I will look into doing one on the nano, as for the quality it just feels a bit cheap, and having to use AA batteries vs a built in rechargeable really puts it at a disadvantage to the competition.

This video was made before they released the version that has a rechareable battery.....

69 dollars in my country plus tax and I like them The power a

Power A is horrible (in my opinion) I’ve had literally 3 and they have all gotten drift within about 1-3 months until they are unusable

Power A has far more Colors and designs to choose from and cheaper, Already a plus. Just a 10% downgrade to the Pro controller. And you get graphic art and pay like $30less.

The power a one is bad it got drift within a week I payed 40 bucks for that ):

I've gone through 3 of their controllers and I can state as fact that they're garbage. The material they use for the button contacts are cheap rubber that weakens drastically over a couple months. It gives the sensation of your buttons sticking (and staying stuck) until you dig the bottom out with fingernails. I've taken the first one apart thinking my kid got to it with the dreaded candy fingers. I tool it apart and cleaned it with IPA even though there was no sign of any sticky substance on the controller. I did see however that the rubber insert that makes contact with the main board was weak. I took a q-tip and wiped it off and it did not fix the issue. I bought another thinking it was a one off and the second controller did the same thing. I took that one back to the store and they let me exchange it. Now the third one is doing it as well. This is a garbage company that uses garbage parts to get you to buy more. You can't even use the part from another controller because the top button is offset to sit on a second board that seats onto the one that has the bottom three.
