Great controller just have a suggestion
I have limited mobility, and gaming helps me have fun. The Nano Controller works great for me! Please consider adding back paddles to make it even more accessible. Thank you, PowerA!

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It functions very well. There is no defect with it at all. The trigger button is very on point in my game. No noise at all and using it to drift is perfect.

BE CAUTIOUS
It’s good with responsiveness and no stick drift. However, the controller randomly turns off for no reason in the middle of playing games and it’s frustrating because this happened outside of the return window of course. Just be cautious and weary of buying the is controller because of this issue…won’t be buying one again.

Fantastic corded controller!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this wireless controller! It feels great in my hands and the controls are so responsive! The cord can sometimes be a little annoying but its worth it for a good controller (and no lagging)! I am definitely looking at getting another one.

Good just not long lasting
I bought one of these controllers from game stop about 4 months ago and it worked VERY well for the first 3 then the left stick got loosened and has TERRIBLE drift. It's cheap for a reason... I would not recommend, unless you know that you will need a replacement within the year.

Made my gaming experience even more enjoyable ????
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really impressed with this controller. The first thing that caught my eye was the Blue Wave design- it looks sleek and a bit more unique compared to the standart plain controllers. Once you start using it , it actually feels really comfortable in your hand. The grip is nice, the buttons are responsive and the analog sticks feel smooth while playing. One small downside js that it's wired, so you don't have the same freedom as a wireless controller. However the USB is quite long, so it gives you plenty of room to sit comfortably while playing without feeling restricted. Honestly it's also good because I never have to worry about charging batteries or losing connection during a game. Overall, it's solid controller that feels reliable, comfortable and fun to use. If you are looking for a good wired alternative to the official Xbox controller - especially with a cool design- this is definitely worth it!

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster and PowerA in exchange for my honest opinion. I absolutely love the color of this controller and feels comfortable in my hands. Also it has a cord so don't have to worry about batteries. Excellent performance. Highly recommend

Probably the worst controller I've ever had
Started of great back pads are easy to swap actions but after a while both sticks started drifting. The stick drift wasn't what makes this bad all controllers develop drift, its the fact the triggers started working by themselves. I haven't figured out a work around for the triggers working by themselves yet but when i ads in a fps the right stick shoots up by itself now. But I've got cool lights on the controller. Do not recommend.

Advantage Wired controller for Nintendo Switch 2 w
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is extremely light! Ergonomics are a bit hard compared to other controllers I have, it's nothing major but could be softer and high quality. Durability is great as well as the features, like the colors in the controller and the buttons on the back of the controller to increase any game experience! Cable is great too, not too long or too short, perfect.

Awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so cool! I have never used a decorated controller but when it lights up it adds to the immersion of the game. It's comfortable to hold and doesn't lag.

Decent controller but joystick broke
I don't play games that much anymore, so it was convenient to have the wired feature. I didn't have to keep up with charging it. But out of nowhere the left joystick stopped working. I couldn't click to sprint anymore. I bought this controller so it wouldn't go to sleep while I watch movies and tv on my Xbox. I have had my other wireless controller much longer and the joysticks still work. So that's pretty disappointing. It didn't even last a year. I got it around Xmas last year.

Nice design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm just in love with this controller, the design is sleek, the colors are vibrant, I have fun playing with the controller itself and then incorporating it into the game. The only issue for me is that is not wireless but other than that easy to connect and play !
