Great for the price. I love power a controllers. I think every new xbox console should come with a PowerA enhanced wired controller in addition to the wireless. Its dependable, has a couple programmable rear buttons. Not overly heavy, but feels sturdy. Sometimes the microsoft wireless controllers feel a little weak in the mid of the controller body. Like they dont use enough screws and it feels like you can snap something with a good twist in the wrong direction. These feel pretty light,but not flimsy like that.

The controller is very well built. Analog sticks have a good range of motion. Shoulder buttons are responsive. All the buttons have nice tactile feeling. Usb wire is very long and so playing on the tV screen from the couch is not an issue. Overall, it’s a very well built controller

El mando va genial, es muy cómodo tanto el agarre como la manipulación de las teclas que son bastante suaves. El único problema que veo es que si la pantalla está muy lejos el cable va un poco justo. Por lo demás genial

it does what it’s supposed to do and not bank breaking.

I’m generally skeptical of third party controllers, but this one is solid, especially considering it’s less than a third of the cost of the official pro controller for the Switch. It feels ok in my hands, albeit a bit toy-like, and also feels sturdier than you would expect. The buttons have a sort of hollow-feeling click to them, which I don’t like very much, but overall they feel fine. The cable is micro-USB, which is a bit disappointing, especially in 2023, but the cable that comes with it is nice and long, and also comes with an attached velcro strap (the good kind), so it makes up for it. I also really like the color I got (solid red).
The only thing I really *dislike* about this controller is the analog sticks. They move fine–better than I expected, actually–but they’re extremely wide, flat, and there is no rubber or anything coating them (i.e. it’s just plastic).
Overall, analog sticks aside, I’m pleasantly surprised by how good this controller is, although I suppose I shouldn’t be considering it’s officially licensed by Nintendo and I’ve had good experiences with PowerA in the past. If you need an additional controller for the Switch and don’t want to shell out $70, you can definitely do a lot worse than this.

The controller stopped working entirely and it’s been a month since I bought it. It does not respond no matter what I do.
