This is legitimately the first time I've found a controller review insightful and helpful and actually informative. You actually addressed most of the concerns I had about buying an unofficial controller and remained engaging. Usually it's just some dude bro stating the obvious, "So uhhh here we have the A button, and also the B button, this is the Home button which of course takes you home, and this is of course the cord which charges it."
I agree with you that the Switch Pro Controller is the best controller in terms of how it feels in the hands. I have the wired version of this controller and I love it. It feels like a cross between the Switch Pro Controller and the PS4 Controller; but in terms of D-Pad, PDP in my opinion has the best D-Pad.
@@corky_worky But power has drift, I got the super mario wired controller and after like 5-6 months the right stick started drifting and now if I go left or right with the left stick it make the others stick drift a lot
Im considering one and hoped you mentioned the aa batteries, and you covered that so yay! Anyway i perfer aa batteries because you can use rechargable nimh batteries and boom "rechargable" you still need to swap out batteries but you no longer need to buy batteries, at least for a long time. Also you can use the same batteries for your xbox one controller if you got one of those too. Great review.
3:22 Yes. But I have a solution. I bring my own controller, which is in better shape than my friend's controllers. Because I take care of my controllers quite well.
If the programmable buttons on the back could be used as turbo buttons, then I would instantly buy one of these. That would be so useful for pokemon, I feel like half the time I'm just mashing a to get through text, or to do the same move a couple of times in a fight where I could just be holding down a button to spam a to get through it rather than pressing a 100 times a minute
I’m gonna buy this one bc A) it’s beautiful, wtf and B) in my country the pro (with shipping included) It’s like 100-110 dollars, and this is like 55-60.
If you leave it with low batteries for more than 3 days, your controller will internally die. Just get the official. Trust me, I've had five cute controllers and they all have the same issue. Just get the og and a skin from Amazon.
They're all Pokemon and Zelda themed enhanced power A wireless. Never dropped, scratched, anything. My favorite one still smells brand new, yet it won't sync or turn on after 8 uses.
Don’t drop it though! I dropped my Mario. Version and now I have uncontrollable stick drift on the left stick and it fell and hit the bottom right of the controller.
they have the molding to hold rumble motors in these controllers. I put some in from a old controller and it fixes the “cheep creaking” when you grip the controller tightly
I don't have a need for a second controller but enjoyed watching this regardless. I agree with you though, the Pro Controller is definitely my favourite controller of all time. I just used my Dualshock 4 to play Hades on my computer and oh God, the CRAMPS.
@@AnarickTheDevil If you're going to be an asshole, at least stick to it with conviction and don't rely on weak jokes to circumvent it. Or you could just apologise but that's asking for too much on RUclips.
Hey man, how are the analog sticks when making small movements? I'm playing through Metroid Dread and want to obliterate my current controller for not being able to "Free Aim" properly...
Does anybody know how to connect these controllers to a Mac? I keep pressing the bluetooth and it shows up and says connected, but the buttons don't work.
Not sure actually. People in my comments here have said they had drift but I haven’t encountered that myself and I still use the controller. Nintendo has been known for drift at least on their joycons. So I’m not sure from my own experience. really could go either way
Bruh nice review. I have a doubt, will it work with PC via wire ? I've seen a wired edition for the same but unsure if it will work on PC, normal games.
This one doesn’t have a port for a wire but the rechargeable version does. But I tried the rechargeable one on pc and on steam it didn’t want to work or let me configure the buttons
I bought one of these and ended up trading it in and just using my joycons in the grip... coming from the Xbox 360 and the PS4, this controller really didn’t feel great.
Can people help me? I hate the power a controller and i have it for almost a year and it just started flashing with white led in the front part and no matter what i did, nothing help, tried charging, tried connecting it with a wire (its a wireless charged controller) tried every problem it may have, tried to contact powerA and it didnt help but maybe someone knows (the best thing i found on the internet is that its stuck on programming mode, plz help, thank you
I got mine today and it has a rechargeable battery 🔋. And it also feels very close to the weight of my original pro controller too. I was expecting it to be like this one that used 2 double a batteries but was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the content, really nice.
@@main0180 still going strong battery life was the one thing I was worried about, but it has been comparable to my pro controller. You won't regret it.
Hay man I have that same constoller but there's no sink button on it and I've charged it for about 2 hours and still no work can you help me please ...
I really hope I win! I am so sick and tired of this stupid controller drift problem! Also my instagram is "rahul_the_hedgehog". Just so you can see I followed you.
I got the powera controller for 35 bucks. Worty every dollar. It doesn't hold a candle to my elite 2 or my old ASTRO c40 but it isn't bad. Nintendo charging 70 for joy con's is insane.

This controller is trash used mine a total of 4 times over three months. It sat mostly in a drawer waiting for when i felt like playing on my tv and worked fine until all of a sudden it had massive drift out of nowhere.
@@AnarickTheDevil there is actually a way to fix the drift. Mine got it and for some reason after taking out and putting back in the battery it worked fine again
I've had two now and the battery has failed in both of them. First one I didn't play for a long time and didn't charge it. It refused to charge and PowerA said you have to keep a minimum charge or the battery will get too low. I paid more attention to the replacement they sent (no warranty on replacement) and still it failed the same way.
For $15-20 more I rather get the real pro controller with better precision and better build 💩 that will last you years to come. Power A , although they look nice, they feel extremely cheap and for $45? Hell no, these feel like $15-20 controllers. There is NOTHING “Enhanced” about them. 💩
de mejorado nada, una basura de la buena. otro mando mas que tirar a la basura... es que no saben hacer bien las cosas???? alternativa??? pues si, el fusion por 80 pavos, se encallan los sticks, pero es lo mas cerca que estaras de un mando en condiciones
I mean obviously the regular pro controller is better lol. This is more for those who don't want to spend $70 or want more controllers for multiplayer etc and want to pay less
@@Portly No. Get the og. The only and I mean ONLY benefit, are additional buttons and the skin which can be done yourself on Amazon. These controllers don't last for more than 3-4 months.
I have heard the new ones are the same price and they do have recharged batteries now, at least. That's only what I've heard in the comments in this video though. I haven't looked into it.

Good review. Glad to see they are available as rechargeable now. Got one for 30 bucks on Amazon just now.
your vids are very good, i like your reveiws and helped me alot. i wish, i wish you could grow alot bigger. dont give up bro.
The newest version of this controller is rechargable for those who would pass on this controller because of that.
Does it have rumble tho?
@@YOURdailydoseofJoJo no sir :/
Does it have nfc
I dont believe you've never squeezed a cat, but I'll sub because that was funny.
The new one has a rechargeable battery built in when buying make sure to get the one that has the rechargeable battery
Ik I’m late but ur review helped me make my choice of getting this controller it’s shipping in 2 days I’m so excited🙏🏽
Power As are $30 -> $60 the switch pro controller is good but don’t waste $70 on it powerAs are the same thing and you can remap the buttons to.
Lmao I ordered one and thought it was pro controller

Can we use thia controller in our amdroid devices
My rubber pad under A button was broken in 5 months. Powera gave me a new one. So quality is not durable. Service is good.
Do they make a rechargeable battery pack for it?
No but they now make rechargeable controllers for around the same price. Different designs though
I would like to win but I’m not in need of anything but nice vids man ur keyboard and mic vids rly helped me decide which one to go for
your intro was hd
i liked it 😃😃😃
Sonu need batteries or does it come with a charger
This one needs batteries. They have since released rechargeable versions but with different colors/designs
how do I connect the controller help
So, no rumble, no analogue triggers. That's like even more downsides than the nintendo switch pro controller. hard pass.
i have the pikachu with the oran berry
Is that Pokemon TCG music?? Respect ❤️ such a good soundtrack
Mine is rechargeable? 🤨 Great video by the way!
same
Yea me too so i guess this controllers is a new version thats why is rechargeable
Mine just stopped working although I Changed the battery but still not working
Email power A and they will replace for free
Wowie that looks so coool!
Can I use it with iOS or android?
Hey I’m a huge fan can you pls get a gk61 with yellow switch’s pls I need to see if I want to get it plsssss
I might have something in the works soon, just waiting on the company to get back to me
The Portly Gamer k thanks
Thanks for the review
Anyone else has lots of button shake on the trigger buttons?
Can you connect it to an iPhone
Can anyone reply this pls. Will the power a enhanced x box controller work on the switch using magic ns adapter?
Bruh this remote kinda sucks not gonna lie because the batteries is almost like it's programmed to die out of energy every 30 hours
I think there recharable now
Wait that was an LED? I thought that was a microphone hole🤣
Everyone!!! Its bluetooth it should appear as lic bluetooth controller
Yep, I tried it for emulators but it lags behind a lil bit
I love these controllers they look so nice play really well
Am I the only one who gives my friends the better controllers?
Yes i think you are lol because i always make sure i get the best controller unless i play family members i make sure they get the better ones
Me and my friends all have very good controllers so they just bring theirs over
I dont have friends
Hi, is this controller works with iPad Pro 2020?
I don't think it does, no.
I like your channel keep posting I feel like you will grow
On the cover i used to have that remote
Any drift issues yet??
Not that I've had
@@Portly Thanks a lot for letting me know!
I had drift issues with my wired powerA controller. Worked great for months now I can barely use the thing or else link perpetually walks to the left
Give the messed up controller to the random friend lmao
If anyone is looking for a affordable game for ur switch you can go to the e-shop and there is some free games that are quite fun!
Which power a nintendo switch controllers tend to have more drift and which ones don't ?
Don't worry they rarely ever drift
My friend has the animal crossing power A controller that had drift, but power A replaced it for free
I got the usb-c version
So we’re now labeling $50 as “budget“
This is better than the pro comes with mappable buttons
Great vid btw don’t need a new controller tho😂

It gonna break when you throw it
