Review on ๐ŸŽฎ PowerA Nintendo Switch Grookey Pokemon Enhanced Wireless Controller by John Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good alternative to the Pro Controller

I was a bit skeptical that such a cool looking controller would be decent, but I was pleasantly surprised (I bought the Mario version). I tried it on Mega Man 11 and Street Fighter just to see the responsiveness and it passed with flying colors. The extra buttons seem well placed and easy to use, but I haven't tried them yet. It looks like you accidentally hit them, but then again I didn't install them. By the way, the controller is easy to set up. Unlike some other controllers, only one button is required to sync. So why four stars? Well, it's an AA battery, so it's not rechargeable. Not a big deal and I love that you can just add batteries instead of waiting for them to charge. However, these are additional costs that you have to accept. The batteries are holding up well so far. Played on it for 8 hours and still works perfectly. Also a point for the lack of a rumble feature. Not critical for me, but worth mentioning. And finally, not everything is red. It would be very cool, but it still looks decent with a black back panel. All in all a very good controller and I will probably order a Zelda soon.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • For the old
