Review: Adorable and works great! - This Kirby wired controller for Nintendo Switch is both cute and functional! The design is super adorable, with bright colors and a fun Kirby theme that stands out. The buttons are responsive and the grip feels comfortable, even during long gaming sessions. The cable is a good length and there’s no noticeable lag while playing. My kids love it, and honestly, so do I! Perfect for any Kirby fan or anyone looking for a reliable and affordable wired controller. (I’ve had this controller for over a year and a half, and it still works fine! My kids have accidentally dropped it multiple times and it’s proven to be super durable.
Review: My new de facto controller - I've had the original pro-controller almost since launch but always looked for a cheaper option for a day-to-day use. About 2-3 years ago I found this Zelda themed PowerA wired controller and decided to give it a try and, save for very few instances, it has been my main controller. That is until the left joystick started to show some drifting 😕 (I'll probably keep it to see if I can salvage it with some hall effect joysticks later). Enter the new kid on the block: same brand, more robust feel and less than half the price of the pro-controller; sign me up. Comparing all 3 side by side, the old wired controller did feel a bit too light and plasticky when compared to the pro-controller, this new one feels more robust (akin to the pro-controller) while also being more comfortable for my adult-sized hands than the pro-controller. I also just noticed the texturing on the joysticks (see the pictures), not sure how I feel about that but the new ones do seem to provide a better grip. The joysticks also glide very smoothly and all the buttons have a very robust feel to them. For further comparison: -Pros: *Mappable buttons (really useful) *Headphone jack (I don't live alone and find this very useful) *LEDs (never had a problem finding the buttons, but it DOES look cool) *Still cost effective -Cons: *No gyro (not many games that I own use it anyway) *No amiibo (again, not essential) *No rumble (don't care) *Does not wake up the system (ok, this one would have been nice) Honestly, I only switch back to the pro-controller when playing Zelda BotW or TotK (when the first 2 cons come into play). I also noticed that the new cable has a locking mechanism on the plug to the controller, not sure I like that and will be using the old cable. On the event of something tugging on the cable I'd rather have the cable disconnect (easier on the controller given the angles) than pull on the Switch and throw it to the ground (yes, this has happened, and hence why I added the wire holder next to console and why I'll use the old cable). All in all, a very good controller for it's initial play session and, as I entitled this review, this will be my de facto controller unless I need to use an amiibo or the game experience is significantly better with gyro controls.
