Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Vs. PowerA Controller | Which Should You Buy?

One thing I did not mention in this video was that BOTH controllers do feature Motion Controls as well as the ability to wake up the Switch Console by holding the "home" button when connected to that Switch. This does not alter my opinion on both of these controllers, I just wanted to be sure to mention that! Which controller do you like better?!

Something to consider, not everyone is going to know how to use those button mapping buttons on the PowerA, and the Pro Controller can be mapped in the system settings, however, the PowerA can't seem to be mappable within the system settings. Great video and it helped alot. Thanks. 😊

I wish I did more research. I asked for a pro controller at GameStop today and they sold me the powera controller 🙃

Okay but that’s probably the best use of editing and writing a scene change to reinforce the punchline and loop he’s used yet.

I just ordered the cat controller and I will be returning my Power A controller tomorrow. Thanks for the review.

Great video i just bought the power A I have bigger hands but the lack of charge indicator and rumble. I’m going back to get the pro!! I’m a 90s kid I need rumble.

I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the power a controller it felt really cheap and movement almost felt delayed, should have spent the extra money for the regular pro one

Can you connect these controllers to switch in handheld mode?

I really enjoy the Power A Controllers. I've found them typically in the $45 range in stores. Amazon makes you pay the "late tax" for some of the discontinued designs. Also, around Black Friday, the Power A Fusion Pro controller can be had for about $75 and that thing is a pro controller and then some with the extra buttons and paddles. I still use my Switch pro controller but do enjoy some Power A, to the point where their "Warriors Nirvana" model is my main PC controller now. Another contender people should look at is the 8bitdo controllers.

Power a are 35 a piece compared to 70 for the pro. Still going with the pro

Well if ur gonna compare controllers I think they should be similar prices and I believe the power A fusion pro is $80 as of right now and NS pro controller is $70 which is $5 closer as a price point to compare

does the power A one have motion controls? its really important for me as a zelda player

EDIT: nevermind i just saw the comment pinned, im just blind

that powerA one can make vibration or no ?

ngl going from my ps5 dual sense edge the my switch nintendo pro controller it makes the nintendo pro controller feel like a toy

I went to Walmart today, the powerA controller was 35$ and the pro controller was 80$

I have both and use both. I think the PowerA controller is an amazing value especially when you find them on sale.

The wired ones are good too when you don't need motion control. I do miss rumble but when the PowerA controllers can often be found for half the price of a Pro Controller (when you can even find one!) Well it's a no brainier.

The powera controller is half of the price of the Pro one and looks cooler.

Can it work on the PC ?

The last game system i ever played seriously was SNES until now, i'm addicted to mk8 on switch. I've been using dual joycon control and switched back to the powerA Last night. I hated it, nothing i tried to do worked quite as well as normal. Now i switched back to the joycon and dont feel as comfortable as i did before i tried the powerA. Is that common? Does this mean I shouldnt bother with the nintendo pro controller?

Dual joycon would be perfect if the hand grips were long enough that they filled up my hands better. Although now i'm even reconsidering that, im wondering if all wireless is laggy and i need to switch to wired, which i really dont want.

When I bought this controller I ave seethe design and it was really nice all the time so I bought it. I thought it was a pro controller but it didn't have all the features. I was disappointed to have wasted my money on this controller

I honestly think Xbox 360 controllers are the most conforatable
