PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Animal Crossing: K.K. Slider

This controller was a great purchase and I don't regret it in the slightest. I've had it for ages and there's little to no drift, at least that I can notice. The design is adorable and the controller itself feels very lightweight, and I will continue to use this controller whenever I end up getting my Switch 2!

So so so cute but be mindful it takes batteries.

Amazing cheap alternative to the overpriced switch pro controllers nintendo sells. Even though you can fell tge plastic is less premium, and it’s lighter than the nintendo ones, the actually functionality of the controller is the exact same and is awesome for multiplayer action!

The media could not be loaded. I really needed a controller to use for my Switch, as holding the entire console for any extended gaming hurts my hands. I was going to get an adapter to just use my Xbox controller, but I sold my Xbox so I turned to PowerA.It paired quickly to the switch [Home screen > Controllers > Change grip/order > Press the sync button on the controller > once it shows up, press A] and worked great in game.I also really needed a controller that would pair to Steam on my PC as well, because some games I play I really just prefer having a controller. There were some mixed reports about this working with Steam, so I took a gamble since it was only $35. It works, but you will need to reconnect it to your PC with bluetooth, and then select the controller in Steam every time it seems. To do so, follow these steps-Turn bluetooth ON for your PC > On the controller, press and hold the Sync button > on your PC, click "Add bluetooth or other device" > Select "Bluetooth, mice, pens, or audio" > Select the device. It shows up as a Pro Controller > Go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings > Select "Switch Pro Configuration Support" > The controller should show at the bottom, select it > Play games comfortably!!When it's successfully paired, you can exit the controller settings, and open games normally through steam, or go through the Big Picture mode and start them. As long as the controller stays on, then it will automatically connect to games and you can just pick it up and start moving with analog sticks rather than WASD. You can also select to use Nintendo button layout, otherwise it'll default to Xbox layout. I prefer the Nintendo layout, so I have mine selected but this is completely optional.As for the build quality, it feels cheap, I'm not gonna lie. But it was like half the price of any other controller on the market, does the same thing, and looks a bit more cute in my opinion. Even with batteries, the controller is super lightweight. To some this might be a negative, because it does feel nice to have a sturdy controller, but I actually like that it's so cheap and lightweight since that puts less strain on my hands during lengthy game sessions.

These have major pros, but there are some cons for me the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I cannot use heavier controllers, they kill my wrists they’re just too heavy. This controller is so lightweight. The battery life is decent, but I’d invest in rechargeable batteries. You can get them pretty cheap, in the long run it’s cheaper than buying batteries. Also far better for Mother Earth. The con the controller drift happens pretty quickly, at least it did with my first controller. Less than 3 months, but I had just gotten ACNH, and had some serious game hours logged. My husband has a pro controller I tried using his, but it bothered my wrist too much. So, for this gamer gal, this controller is the only one I honestly love. I did buy a new one due to the controller drift, I had zero issues with this one so far. I also did drop my first one, which may have caused an issue. Also, as I said, within the first months I logged an embarrassing amount of hours on the game. Now, I play maybe 2 hours or less a day.

We have two of these controllers and they have been fantastic! While it would be great to get the Pro controller, Nintendo charges way too much. These are good alternatives. However, I wish that it had a rechargeable battery inside so I didn't have to constantly replace the batteries. I think we probably get close to 20 hours of playtime on a set of rechargeable batteries, but it would still be nice to just plug it in and have it recharge. They are comfortable to play with and are a huge improvement over the joycons. We got our controllers for around $25 during a sale and my kids have loved the themes they chose.

The media could not be loaded. It's exactly what I wanted. Buttons are a bit noisier than I thought, but it's not an issue to me.

These are the cutest controllers but after a bit there is drift with the left stick.
