Review on ๐ŸŽฎ PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch - Mario Pop (Exclusively on Amazon) by Kevin Apriando

Revainrating 1 out of 5

There was a controller for 1 month - a very bad drift ended!

I got this a little over a month ago. When I first took it out of the box the left stick was a bit unresponsive, it felt like you need a little work on that, but we just assumed it was because it was wireless and PowerA and not official Nintendo Pro Controller is. It seemed to get better for about two weeks, and then I felt the left joystick drift a bit (nothing particularly noticeable). Fast forward to today, and the left stick only shifts a lot to the right. Even on the game screen, it scrolls by itself through all our games. The only way to stop this is to restart the switch, but when the controller is turned back on it just randomly scrolls to the right. Luckily I was in the return window. As I got this for a good Black Friday price I decided to exchange it instead of returning it so we'll see what the exchange performance is like I get. To be honest I'm a little disappointed that the deviation of this thing happened within a month of receiving it. To give you an idea, I've had PS4 controllers that are used more than this controller for years and have never had a drift problem. We did this on purpose to avoid wear and tear on our JoyCons (we only use JoyCons when we need to as they are notorious for drift issues). Since these issues get troubled so quickly, it really makes me doubt the quality. this controller.

Pros
  • Video games
Cons
  • Not sure
