    I bought this PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller (Mario Theme) in-store at Best Buy as a gift for my son, and he absolutely loves it! The colorful Mario design is eye-catching and perfect for a young gamer who’s a big fan of the Mario universe. It’s sturdy and lightweight, making it ideal for small hands. The controller is easy to use and pairs effortlessly with the Nintendo Switch. The buttons are responsive, and the overall build quality feels durable, even with heavy use by an excited child. My son has been using it for games like Mario Kart and Mario Party, and it has added so much fun to our gaming sessions as a family. The in-store shopping experience was great, with helpful staff who made it easy to pick out the perfect controller for my little one. If you’re looking for a reliable, fun, and kid-friendly controller, I highly recommend this one!

    Smooth gameplay. Sensitivity is true to settings. Light background makes it easy to find if I set it down briefly. Handles are not slick, allowing for better grip and less sweaty palms when playing for hours.

    I really wanted to like this controller but I was so bummed out that it doesn't have HD rumble. It's comfortable but it doesn't have vibration motors. I'm going to return it because of that. I really like the design though!

    I have used every controller the switch has to offer. Some you get stick drift, several had connection issues. This has no problems. The most solid controller yet. The buttons and sticks are very smooth and firm, I’m very impressed! It’s like my Xbox box Elite series controller made love with the Switch and made is this masterpiece

    It does its job, it’s a great Addition to my console’s. At first I struggled to connect because I have 4 controllers connected so I needed a way to disconnect the others a Ms connect this one. But overall it all worked out. So far I haven’t had to charge for days so I don’t know how long it’ll last on 1 charge.

    Love the compact size of this controller, ability to travel with if you need to which I will when I head to GA in a week. Being similar to the Xbox controller it’s a seamless transition when switching between consoles.

    I love this product. The joycons are great but they have plenty issues. This is a fantastic old-school controller. However, Best Buy please find a way to make sure this doesn’t get in the hands of USPS. Messed up delivery
