One thing I did not mention in this video was that BOTH controllers do feature Motion Controls as well as the ability to wake up the Switch Console by holding the "home" button when connected to that Switch. This does not alter my opinion on both of these controllers, I just wanted to be sure to mention that! Which controller do you like better?!
PowerA, because the D-pad is significantly better. I also disagree, the PowerA controller is just as comfortable as the pro controller to me. The ease of use part is kind of weird because your joycons are always connected. You also have a battery indicator light that tells you its low. Nintendo does not allow licensed controllers to have rumble, that isn't on the company its on Nintendo. Same thing for amiibo support.
Does the D-Pad being slightly farther over bother you at all? I think for me, the chunky-ness kind of reminds me of the original Xbox controller. I’m glad you like your PowerA controller, though! Appreciate you watching! Have an amazing day and God bless!
I bought a power a controller.at first i though “now i can play with my brother in Minecraft”in till I realize it is a wired controller.i still use it to this day and i care for it.(i got the animal crossing new horizons style) for me it feel nice.i don’t really care for rumble or amibo. So i still like the controller
Oh that’s awesome that you enjoy it!! Especially since you don’t really care for amiibo or the rumble, that totally makes sense. The animal crossing design is really cool as well! Thank you so much for watching and god bless!
I play on my PC with Nintendo Switch Pro controller and I love it. It's 100% worth the money. Very comfortable with responsive controls. Also the 40-hour life battery is a beast. Totally destroying other controllers. ❤
So amazing! Yeah, the battery life is pretty amazing! Definitely one of my favorite controllers of all time! If not, my all time favorite controller of all time!
I really enjoy the Power A Controllers. I've found them typically in the $45 range in stores. Amazon makes you pay the "late tax" for some of the discontinued designs. Also, around Black Friday, the Power A Fusion Pro controller can be had for about $75 and that thing is a pro controller and then some with the extra buttons and paddles. I still use my Switch pro controller but do enjoy some Power A, to the point where their "Warriors Nirvana" model is my main PC controller now. Another contender people should look at is the 8bitdo controllers.
I absolutely adore my pro controller, I’ve been using it since launch day and it is easily the best Nintendo controller I’ve ever had. I hope it continues to serve me well for a few more years, but if the worst were to befall it, I would need to replace it ASAP, I can never go back to the Joycon grip for long gaming sessions, and I wouldn’t be able to ignore the shape difference between the pro and the power A
Seriously the Pro Controller has impressed me sooooo much! I know exactly how you feel about the joy con controller. I didn’t think it would be *that* much of a difference… but. It totally is! And yeahhhh, the shape difference is definitely off putting! The Pro Controller has just spoiled me 😅😅
I have the PC/Xbox wired version of a PowerA pro controller, and sometimes it just stops working. I spent like 80 bucks on it, and it's just not reliable. It looked beautiful and it came with a carrying case, but I can't count on it to work.
Got the last animal crossing one at target for 34.99 once it got scanned at the register I was going to get charger 54.99 but I showed the lady the target app and she gladly matched the 34.99 price
Nice! I feel like $35 was a great price for it! Target is really cool about price matching anything from their website. Congrats! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
If you can find a great deal, then by holy, go for it. Amazon has some Power A controllers for sale during Black Friday right now. I was able to snag a Kirby one for about $15 last week. The only problem, I wished I've gotten this sooner. It's a wired one, cause I just wanna plug and start playing right away. Feels great on my hands and the controls are great.
I love my NS-Pro but I have been using the Power A Nano for the last couple months , I love Power A controllers and the Enhanced are only 39.99$ , well worth it
Something to consider, not everyone is going to know how to use those button mapping buttons on the PowerA, and the Pro Controller can be mapped in the system settings, however, the PowerA can't seem to be mappable within the system settings. Great video and it helped alot. Thanks. 😊
Well if ur gonna compare controllers I think they should be similar prices and I believe the power A fusion pro is $80 as of right now and NS pro controller is $70 which is $5 closer as a price point to compare
I’ve never been able to use the Fusion controller! If I ever received one, I’d be glad to review it. I always thought of the Power A as more of a “budget” Pro Controller, so I felt this Enhanced one being $15 less was a pretty close comparison. I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the power a controller it felt really cheap and movement almost felt delayed, should have spent the extra money for the regular pro one
I guess you could go through and do it handheld with the touch screen. I usually just do it in my TV. I hadn’t even thought of that 😳 I appreciate you commenting that! Haha.
I have both and use both. I think the PowerA controller is an amazing value especially when you find them on sale. The wired ones are good too when you don't need motion control. I do miss rumble but when the PowerA controllers can often be found for half the price of a Pro Controller (when you can even find one!) Well it's a no brainier.
PowerA is definitely a great value when you can find them on sale! We own a few wired ones that we got for around $20, and they are great, especially when we have friends over and need more controllers!
@@ourradiantgaming it helped a lot! I was fooled by the box it’s almost the same as the original… and the price was better. I was watching on this video in a Polish version of Walmart and you’ve given such good points for not buying it! The original is great! Thx!
We bought the Splatoon 3 pro controller and highly recommend it, it looks amazing! I definitely wouldn’t pay $100 for it - you can still find it online and in some stores for retail price, $75! 😁
Thanks for the detailed video!! I’d love to own a pro controller one day… but the PRICEEE 😭 maybe I can find it used online somewhere for cheaper :’) btw, I love your shirt!! ✰ God bless!
Hopefully one day you’ll be able to get one! They’re definitely amazing! And thank you! It’s from this couple that Ashley and I follow on instagram! Their name is “Walk in Love.” They sell amazing T Shirts with super awesome Bible verses, quotes, etc.!
The last game system i ever played seriously was SNES until now, i'm addicted to mk8 on switch. I've been using dual joycon control and switched back to the powerA Last night. I hated it, nothing i tried to do worked quite as well as normal. Now i switched back to the joycon and dont feel as comfortable as i did before i tried the powerA. Is that common? Does this mean I shouldnt bother with the nintendo pro controller? Dual joycon would be perfect if the hand grips were long enough that they filled up my hands better. Although now i'm even reconsidering that, im wondering if all wireless is laggy and i need to switch to wired, which i really dont want.
I personally like the PowerA more than the JoyCon grips. I can’t hardly use the joycon grips personally. 😅 I think most wireless controllers have some sort of input delay, as well. I personally haven’t used a wired controller and paid attention to the delay, unfortunately. But, I definitely can’t recommend the Pro Controller enough though, honestly. Haha. Everything about it just feels so amazing. It’s my favorite controller of all time! Hope this helps!
You can! I know for a fact you can with the pro controller, and I assume the Power A can as well. Just go to your controllers settings on your switch in handheld mode, connect the controller you want to use, and it will work! Let me know if it works! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
I don't know. Sounds like another age of rage video. I use the power a wired and it immediately felt great. You're not going to drop it ever lol. The pro IS better, and it has to be, it's almost 45 dollars more.
When I bought this controller I ave seethe design and it was really nice all the time so I bought it. I thought it was a pro controller but it didn't have all the features. I was disappointed to have wasted my money on this controller
Great video i just bought the power A I have bigger hands but the lack of charge indicator and rumble. I’m going back to get the pro!! I’m a 90s kid I need rumble.
They were very comfortable! A huge upgrade from the original Xbox controllers, for sure! Haha. A bit small for my liking still, but definitely pretty great!
Not always half price, unfortunately. 😕 It does look super cool! A lot of times, the PowerA’s come in at $50-55. Great controllers still, just so close in comparison to the Pro Controller!

does the power A one have motion controls? its really important for me as a zelda player

I bought the black power a controller at target for $41!! Best bought
That’s a good buy for sure!
I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the power a controller it felt really cheap and movement almost felt delayed, should have spent the extra money for the regular pro one
W honest comparison
I went to Walmart today, the powerA controller was 35$ and the pro controller was 80$
That’s awesome!! Did you end up getting a Power A?
If the switch is touch screen why do you need another controller to connect the power a
I guess you could go through and do it handheld with the touch screen. I usually just do it in my TV. I hadn’t even thought of that 😳 I appreciate you commenting that! Haha.
I’ve modded a few “official” pro controllers so I was wondering if this one has the same dimensions as the pro controller
The power A controller definitely is bigger than the pro controller, if that’s what you’re asking! 😀
I have both and use both. I think the PowerA controller is an amazing value especially when you find them on sale.
The wired ones are good too when you don't need motion control. I do miss rumble but when the PowerA controllers can often be found for half the price of a Pro Controller (when you can even find one!) Well it's a no brainier.

What about the power A Pro controllers??? The ones with the nintendo licensing?!?
i'm thinking of buying a pro controller for $100 (the splatoon 3 edition) just for the sake of having some color on my all black controller 😭
We bought the Splatoon 3 pro controller and highly recommend it, it looks amazing!
I definitely wouldn’t pay $100 for it - you can still find it online and in some stores for retail price, $75! 😁
i got mine for £65 (which is $73) and i really like it the original black controller looks to plain for me
That’s about what we paid for ours! Such an amazing controller.
Plus the power controller does not have a light to let you know if it’s on or charging
Power a are 35 a piece compared to 70 for the pro. Still going with the pro
Some Power A models are $35. Haha. I do love the Pro Controller, though!
They think the nice color job makes up for lack of features.

Can you connect these controllers to switch in handheld mode?

@@ourradiantgaming Thank you
Are the joysticks the same size?
To me, they seem to be around the same!
I had the original pro controller and the battery was absolutely horrible. Never lasted more than 2 hours
Wow! That’s crazy! I feel like the battery on ours lasts forever. Maybe there was a defect in it.
@@ourradiantgaming I returned it the next day because it was so bad. Could have been a bad batch of them 🫠
that powerA one can make vibration or no ?
The PowerA can not have rumble. :( So no vibration!
I wish I did more research. I asked for a pro controller at GameStop today and they sold me the powera controller 🙃
can you map buttons of the pro contrllor in the switch settings? i know you can the joy cons.
Yes
Okay but that’s probably the best use of editing and writing a scene change to reinforce the punchline and loop he’s used yet.
I don't know. Sounds like another age of rage video. I use the power a wired and it immediately felt great. You're not going to drop it ever lol. The pro IS better, and it has to be, it's almost 45 dollars more.

Yeah, it does stink that it doesn’t have all the features. If it was a good deal, it may have been worth it. They do look super cool! Haha
Bru you got scammed I got the same but Zelda themed. For 32$
I got my power a controller for 6 dollars
*turns on subtitles
The powerA controller’s buttons feel so cheap, the click and triggers are sub par, just feel cheap.
Great video i just bought the power A I have bigger hands but the lack of charge indicator and rumble. I’m going back to get the pro!! I’m a 90s kid I need rumble.
@@assordante2205 man GameStop wouldn’t let me return the shit. So I’m over it until. I feel like getting the pro.
ngl going from my ps5 dual sense edge the my switch nintendo pro controller it makes the nintendo pro controller feel like a toy
I still love the feel of the Pro Controller, but that haptic feedback on the PS5 controller is 🤯🤯🤯
I honestly think Xbox 360 controllers are the most conforatable
They were very comfortable! A huge upgrade from the original Xbox controllers, for sure! Haha. A bit small for my liking still, but definitely pretty great!
I can't believe Nintendo decided to offer pro controller in only all black color, this makes literally zero sense to me
Then buy a controller skin to go with it, they are dirt cheap.
The powera controller is half of the price of the Pro one and looks cooler.
Not always half price, unfortunately. 😕 It does look super cool! A lot of times, the PowerA’s come in at $50-55. Great controllers still, just so close in comparison to the Pro Controller!
Pdp is so much better my reason for saying so shooting building or racing don't listen to this guy about pdp controllers.😂
It is 24 dollars
