My 5 year old daughter wanted a controller to play Mario Odyssey and Kirby. She loves the pink color, the fun Kirby face and the layout/control scheme worked well. We were pleased with the thumb sticks, with the button layout, with the feedback, and triggers. We had no concerns with the charging time or battery duration. The controller is cheaper than Nintendo branded controller and lacked a few of the main features: Does not support HD rumble, IR, motion control, or Amiibo NFC.
I did not want to buy another set of Joy Cons to get drift and I did not feel that another Pro Controller was worth the cost. So far (3 months), neither of the PowerA controllers has developed any thumb stick drift. For the money, this device was well worth it for our family. In fact, we bought the Kirby, and Link Versions for our kids.

Got this as a gift for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! Super cute design, high quality feel and plays great! Have other pro controllers and this is on par with the best of them.

Good Controller. Works well. I picked this one up because it uses 2 AA batteries. I have had charging ports break on others, and it is nice to have other options. Good batteries last awhile.

Love this Nintendo switch controller. Easy to connect. A bit bigger than regular controller that comes with Nintendo. Light weight and multi functional for gaming. Beautiful color and much easier to use. Very good quality and great price.

This controller is pretty cute especially if you like playing kirby and like the color pink! Although I will admit that this controller is very light and not so heavy duty. Which mean that this controller can probably break pretty easily. Regardless, still a nice controller and get the job done for me

Kids also love not being tied to wires. We started with a few wired remotes and they are still fine but this was my attempt to get the kids to back up from thr tv. It was easy to connect to the system in the battery. Life is pretty good, but I do wish it was like the others that charge from a USB cable and don’t need AA batteries.

I love my Peely controller so much! It’s a very adorable design that makes me happy to look at and also has great accuracy (especially compared to jot cons). It’s a big controller and would be more comfortable for someone with larger hands than me, though I still find it comfortable to use. I use it a lot for Fortnite and the joysticks do make a clicky sound when I press to sprint or crouch (which I do a LOT) though it doesn't seem to have any drift or cause damage. There are occasional instances where I have to reconnect the controller due to it not registering a movement properly, though I suspect this is more of an issue with Fortnite than the controller itself. It’s very accurate with joystick inputs and gyro controls and I do recommend it for anyone who wants a controller that is both useful and pleasant to look at. I mean it literally smiles at you while you play! What more could you want?
