Product Information

If you use a lot of batteries you might want to consider buying a quality set such those from Eneloop, which hold charge about as well as a non-rechargeable battery. Dive even deeper into your games with fluid, responsive motion controls that provide an intuitive way to aim, steer, fly and more. Things take a turn for the worse if you try to use the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller as a pad for your phone. We tried it with two Androids, and the lag was unbearable. The pad’s front LEDs also continued to flash in sequence, suggesting it remained in pairing mode even when connected, which may be the source of the issue. In our opinion, getting a pro controller for your Nintendo Switch can make the world of difference to your console's quality of life. Yes, playing on the go is excellent, but having a proper gamepad you can use when sinking more time into something like Tears of the Kingdom can really make the experience feel more next-gen. Depending on what you play, you might find some third party controllers with extra buttons too, which could come in handy. Can you replace one Joy-Con

The third-party Switch controller with a thousand faces

Switch up your gaming with our range of Nintendo Switch controllers. Add more players to your favourite Switch games with extra Joy Con, or change the way you control the action with classic wired or wireless controllers. No, it's not going to steal any aesthetic awards from the likes of more enthusiast-level racing wheels for PC but it's certainly a design that appeals to its fun-loving Ninty audience. Don't let that light-hearted exterior fool you, though, this is a well-built piece of kit. We didn’t find the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller’s latency distracting, or noticeable, but third-party pads like this do tend to have slightly greater input lag. Designed and engineered to best-in-class standards, PowerA controllers offer a satisfying ergonomic feel that provides hours of comfortable gaming. If all else fails, it's worth noting that Nintendo is operating a Joy-Con drift repair scheme free of charge.

Hori's Mario Kart racing wheel's bright red plastic and looming M logo in the center immediately indicate what it should be used for. For years the argument has loomed large: what is the best controller to play Mario Kart? This might just put all those disputes to bed. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. Compared to the Xbox One Wireless (XO), it doesn't work in UWP microsoft store games, which is not PowerA's fault, no other controllers that I have seem to work with UWP games (not SC, not DS4, not this one only the XO seems to be allowed, just one of the many reasons why I don’t buy UWP games). It has to use bluetooth, and haven’t tested it with multiple PAN controllers, so I wonder how that holds up (the XO controller has to use use an adapter to connect multiple controller, but I don’t think a special adapter is required for DS4, PAN, nor SC[plus all SCs come with a free adapter whereas with XO you pay extra]). XO doesn’t have a gyro.

How it works

Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. If you're not keen to pay for an official Pro Controller (they are expensive), the PowerA equivalents are well worth your time. These wireless and wired handsets are comfortable, accurate, stylish, and reliable - we've used them in our own gaming sessions without any complaints or our part. Plus, they have motion control. That's a feature that you don't find too often on cheaper third party Nintendo Switch controllers and means you don't have to go without during Mario Kart tournaments. Joy Con Nintendo Switch controllers bring you intuitive and versatile control with surprising new ways to play. Joy Con can be used one in each hand, or joined as one game controller. Share your Joy Con with friends in multiplayer games, or attach them to your Nintendo Switch console for use in handheld mode. Each Joy Con has a complete set of controls for use as a standalone controller, with an accelerometer and motion sensor for separate left and right motion control. The Ralthy controllers have a built in rechargeable battery, which can be handy, but today's batteries do eventually get worse with time. Invariably at some point in the future the Ralthy controller will become unusable because the internal battery will hold no charge. In contrast, I like the fact that the Pro controller uses AA batteries, which means in theory as long as that type of battery exists this controller should be usable forever. Also, the Ralthy controller seemed to need a recharge after a long day of gaming but I have yet to need to replace the batteries on the Pro controller with about the same amount of usage. Third-party controllers, however, are often considered some of the best Nintendo Switch accessories out there from a value standpoint. You may be dropping HD Rumble functionality and motion controls, but if you're after some spare multiplayer options there are plenty of wired and wireless Nintendo Switch controllers to choose from.
