For me, this means my fingers comfortably rest on the ZR & ZL triggers, perfect for Splatoon 2. With the PowerA, there is no gap between the sets of trigger buttons.


There are small differences between the PowerA and the Nintendo manufactured original that have a small impact on my exact finger placement. Putting it to the test with Splatoon 2, the motion controls of the PowerA perfectly measure up to the standard Pro Controller.Īfter using the controller for about a week, what I notice most is how differently I hold it compared to a standard Switch Pro Controller. I can honestly live without all those, however, as the controller does include motion capabilities. There is also no rumble and no NFC support. It runs off two AA batteries that last about 30 hours (I got about 28 from the two pack-in batteries). First of all, there is no wired option for the device. There are few Nintendo Pro Controller features missing from the PowerA unit. Everything here is responsive, from the buttons to the control sticks, and it’s light enough to hold for hours at a time without feeling weighed down by it. Testing it out with Splatoon 2, Fortnite, Black Bird, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Edition, Super Meat Boy, and Sonic Mania Plus, it’s held up better than any Mad Catz or Logitech controller I’ve dabbled with in the past. I want to start off by saying that the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller may be the best third-party controller I’ve ever used.
