Man, the covering of the Bluetooth connection is the BEST part of this video. It's something so often overlooked on controller reviews. Thank you for including this in your review!!
The whole thing seems perfect except for the whole signal thing, that’s a very big bummer, especially considering the main reason I wanted a pro controller was for more intense games

@@andrewfriedrich3273 How is it a waste? My switch has very bad joycon drift so i'm better off buying one of these at £20 or £30 than spending nearly £80 on new joycons.
Is the d-pad better than the pro? Do the buttons stick like most other PowerA controllers? Does it have rumble? Does it have NFC? There are so many unanswered questions about this thing.
@@giorodriguez2291 I got the nano instead because I have used the wired a while ago and i liked it and never got drift plus this is perfect for my hand's size the design looks better and basically all my friends use power a so I'm sticking with power a for now
@Gucci Crimson “don’t expect it to be durable for $50” seriously? For that price they should be of almost the highest quality. I’ve had $20 controllers that lasted for years lol
OH MY GOD your dock is behind your TV HOW DO YOUR JOYCON WORK! That was a week 1 for me haha and even still sometimes my LEG interferes with my Joycon connection.
Shibby120 I hate to be THAT guy but can I see your sources for that claim? This video is the first time I'm ever hearing of joycon wireless connection being shoddy.
I was about to diss that person for how obvious it looks that she rarely ever holds a controller, but do people in general not hold their index finger around the shoulders?
I guess it depends on the games you're used to play, for someone like me who plays Dark Souls and a lot of TPS its just natural to have my index fingers around the shoulder buttons, but maybe she just plays AC or some games that don't require the shoulder buttons so frequently or at all
Pretty much what mad said. Any time I play games like animal crossing where I dont need to my fingers are never on the bumpers/triggers cuz I don't need them there. But when I play fighting games like gauro a adopt another weird way to hold the controller where my left hand is still holding it like normal(index finger still not on the bumpers/triggers) but my right hand is over the controller with my index hovering over the Y and B buttons while my middle hovers over the X and A. My thumb basily rests on the bottom of the controller where the lights are that show what player you are while my ring and pinky are to the right of the controller. Sounds weird, but trust me, it's how I learned to play fighting games. And then of coarse in games like Mario kart or more accurately CTR bot my index fingers are on the bumpers ready for drifting while my thumb is on the acceleration. And in ctr specificly my right middle finger is on the trigger (or RZ if yo u want) ready to tap it if needed to look back. Really does depend on the game you play. I know in splatoon 2 I also sometimes have my middle finger ready just incase I need to press R and RZ very close to the same time.
I’m still wait for a third party switch pro controller with analog triggers,a headphone jack,and the A & B buttons are where they are on the XB1 controller.
Oh very cool! Didn't even know this existed. Looks cute and I love that color scheme. But yeah it'll be too small for me. Great for people with small hands though!
Seems inreresting but I have 1 question, does it have a gyro sensor that can be used for splatoon or breath of the wild. Or other games that have that functionality. I can live without the nfc sensor since I have other controllers if I need to use that, but the gyroscope for gyro aiming would be the real selling point for me.
Yes, it works really well according to a review done by Nintendojo. It's strange how they didn't mention anything about gyro controls, especially since a couple of games heavily uses gyro controls.
@@giorodriguez2291 I was gonna get the pro but people act like the nintendo original pro controller just as bad as joy cons and rumble in a lot of games I usually just disable anyway and I can just use amiibo on the joy cons

Have to be honest and stand on your square this review is back and forth on one hand there is input delay and other it works so buy it..???. A controller should be able to work behind a tv... Just say feels great works but signal flaws we have to say don't buy this that's a more honest review and will help the vendor know ok we have to fix and release version 2 Great review otherwise
I have two Switch. Pieces of trash, after 6 months the Joycons are plain garbage. I only use them to play smash with GC controllers, anything else is unplayable.

Not sure if this is a 3 years later thing, but Bluetooth is rock solid now using Bluetooth 5.0
I like the design, but they need to make a bigger one.
I mean you can just buy the regular enchanced controller
@@Gdf353bgy Yes. But it's not that design. The other one don't look durable, and is missing features this one has.
alphanash whoa, didnt age well
Pro controller is far better i got powera first then the pro just holding it for the first was great compared to powera
@@GearTechnique Yeah so did I. The left analog stick gave out on my powera controller. I also like the recharging and feel of the pro controller.
Does look pretty cool. I wonder if that signal issue might be fixable with some sort of firmware update to the controller....
Signal issue has been addressed with an update. I have the nano in grey and neon and have zero issues with it.

No rumble, no nfc
The buttons may stick depending on how you use the controller or get your hands on it
59.99 is price, switch pro controller at my walmart is the same price as the nano controller

One question... What about BIG hands? Since the Duke controller there has not been any descent controller for big hands
I reccomend the pro controller or 8bitdo sn30pro+ if you have big hands
PowerA isn't really durable
I've used one and it only lasted after 4 months with daily usage.
Mine had drift after 2 months but it’s not as bad as the joycons
Mine never got drift and I have had it since it came out
but the joy cons are just horrible

Does it still have NFC? Rumble?
What about battery life? Price?
This review is incomplete...
$50 no nfc, no hd rumble
20hr battery life

It should, when you hold down the home button.

Lieliska informacija! Paldies
Why does the Nano Enhanced Wireless Controller even have AGR and AGL buttons even when some people don't necessarily need to do some "mapping"?
I love your video! I"m getting a nano controller, thanks for the great video.
This bad boy is going to have extra drift
Neat! Might buy
Dont buy these shell out the 10-20 bucks for the official since these controllers tend to drift after a while, belive me I had this expirience
@@giorodriguez2291 don't official controllers drift too?
@@TheGreenRUclipsr yes but are less likely than most controllers, depends on the condition of the controller
TH🙌 for sharing !
Does the Nano allow stick presses to be mapped?
No, no nfc, no rumble, the sticks drift after a while, just shell out 10-20 buck for the pro controller

Pokemon let's go 🙂
Maybe eevee or pikachu?
Mario kart 8 deluxe
Ok maybe for x-mas.
No rumble, right?
I wish there was a wired version of this controller
There is
Imagine havin a thumb
How much does that Nano controller cost? Was it like $45 or lower than that?
$49.99
Does the Nano controller allow system re mapping? Not the controller own map buttons.

so the buttons can't be remapped there are just the two on back that can be mapped to anything? 😕
They can be mapped to any buttons except the home, plus,screenshot,minus, and click sticks
Was she pressing those back buttons with her index fingers?
Any drift issues?
You know what they say about small hands
Chairman Lmao small gloves?
How did you get yours? I preordered mine and it says it would be out on the 20th but I still havent even gotten confirmation on shipping.

imagine sony or microsoft shipping controller with drift, people would just freak out. nintendo does it, eh just buy 3rd party controllers
Uhh.... People DID freak out and still do about Nintendo having the huge drift issue.
have you been living under a rock? Nintendo has been sued.
Whoops me thinks your biases is showing
Exposed
Can it be used on pc too?
i hold my controller inside a faraday cage and this one just doesnt cut it. wont even connect. 0/10
The weak bluetooth connection is a deal breaker.
Look good for my hand
Whenever I use any controller felt like I had another 6th finger each hand
Dose it have rumble
No
No rumble, no nfc, just shell out more money for a pro controller and the stock drift on power a controllers
Telling you guys just get the pro.

It’s a shame that PowerA makes trash quality controllers.

does it drift?
Yes after a while
