First! Also, I'd totally get the AC controller. It's so adorable!
I have a bunch of the wireless Power A controllers and consider them pretty good, but I just can't wrap my brain around playing wired anymore.
What's the perfect controller for racing games on the Nintendo Switch? Someone please help me thanks.
The Zelda and silver Mario designs are both pretty good.
I nabbed a Power A controller when my Joy-Con started to drift and it's served me well. It's just a basic black & red design (with a Switch logo in the middle), so I may get one of these for a more spruced up design.
Man Power A has made so many awesome designs. Downright insane that Nintendo has only put out 3 (I think) different color Pro controllers
The Big M
Why did I think of Metroid when I first saw that
While I love POWER-A’s price and controller art, the quality is not the best. I lost count of how many GameCube controllers for smash I’ve gone through. Some have been faulty out of the box. Usually they don’t last more than 2 months. I would love one of these but the quality factor has really left a sour taste in my mouth.
@Tendogamerxxx Thanks for sharing. I was considering getting one but I have seen similar experiences to yours in different forums so I guess their quality tends to vary too much. I ordered an 8bitdo SN 30 (the SNES one) because it's supposedly a great 3rd party controller so I hope I made the right choice.
The Animal Crossing one is so cute!
@Burning_Spear i have one for playing on my second monitor at desk just for the headphone jack
10ft seems a little short for my space, although I totally would pull the trigger on the Animal Crossing and pixel art Pikachu ones!
I had two of the wireless ones. One with the spyro design and a crash team racing one. The left stick on the ctr one is fudged. The spyro one is now showing signs of it. I've opened it up and cleaned it out but that's not helped. So all I can say is stay away from powerA controllers they are NOT good quality. Just don't waste your money like I have. Pay the extra and get an official pro controller.
Wires? in 2020?
Nice aesthetics, but with quality control all over the place and no rumble, I’ll stick with my pro controller. I wish there were more quality options besides 8bitdo.
