I've bought a couple of these in the $26 - $29 range and have been really impressed with the quality. Has all the features of a pro controller (or all the ones I use anyway) and can turn the Switch on remotely, something that 8BitDo controllers can't do.

Half thinking of buying another one for this price.

    Also have bought this one. Pretty good quality and have used for many hours so far from the first charge. Paid around $28 mark

      Is there much controller lag? My Powerwave is ok most of the time, but you really notice that there's controller lag in Super Smash Bros.

    Can this be used as a wireless or Bluetooth controller for PC and android phones?

    • FOX on 30/04/2022 - 11:51

      Yes, should also be able to pair it with compatible iOS devices. I'm buying this to pair with the Galaxy Tab A8 from the recent Optus deal, should be nice to use it to play racing games.

  • ChatGPT-4 on 30/04/2022 - 11:52

    I’ve never used a knock off controller that was good - I’ve bitten on a very similar deal (albeit I think a different product) and it was garbage. They were always the visitor controllers when we were kids, and I don’t think they’re any better now lmao

    • ItsMeAgro on 30/04/2022 - 12:27

      If you own other consoles, a good solution is to get an 8bitdo USB adapter for around $20 on ebay:

      https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=8bitdo+usb…

      When you need extra switch controllers, you can use good controllers like Wii U pros, PS3, PS4, PS5, etc on the Switch with this. Switch thinks it's a wired Switch pro controller.

      The black version ($3 more) handles bluetooth xbox one/series controllers too.

      Cheaper than this deal, and much higher controller quality.

    I bought 2 of these exact knockoffs last year via eBay. Worked well and connected for a few months, but then were both unresponsive and didn't connect. I thought it might've been a Switch update etc which rendered them useless, but unsure.

    I just sucked it up and bought the official pro controllers.

    YMMV.

      appreciate your comment, was about to buy, not anymore, ill stick to Nintendo controllers only, have 3 pro controllers and wanted a 4th but from reading comments theres lag, and then your one was nail in the coffin, giving this one a miss

      • rawm on 30/04/2022 - 13:04
        +2

        You're welcome. While I'm not an avid gamer and definitely enjoy cheap knockoffs, IMO it's just less of a hassle if sticking with the official controllers.

        I know the price is sweet, but 'the hassle' is sometimes the added price you pay.

    • wtfnodeal on 30/04/2022 - 13:11

      I have 2 @ Play controllers which don’t connect to the Switch with the latest firmware but work fine on the Switch with older firmware. Unsure why.

  • djapek on 30/04/2022 - 12:18

    Have a bunch of these, build quality is sufficient, buttons feels nice but lag is real. Especially for smash. Very painful.

  • trappy76 on 30/04/2022 - 13:07

    I've bought 3 of these controllers (from AliExpress) and they work fine with our Switch and my RetroPi. For $20 or so you can't go wrong. Decent build, easy pairing, good battery life.

  • sn0w on 30/04/2022 - 13:27

    • XVX on 30/04/2022 - 14:07

      It's Bluetooth and has been confirmed to connect with other devices aside from Switch, so no reason why it won't work with Android TV.

      • sn0w on 30/04/2022 - 14:28

        Thanks, just a bit worrying when all the answers on QA on Amazon says only supporting Switch, so if anyone actually have to controller and tested against it, it would be great

        • Xastros on 30/04/2022 - 20:10

          USB. For wireless you need to use PC/laptop with bluetooth or get a bluetooth adapter.

  • manbearpig on 30/04/2022 - 17:12

    I have two of these, and they're fantastic for the low price. I got them for less than $20 on AliExpress before. Comfortable and a similar feel to PS4 controllers. The joysticks and triggers feel great. I prefer the traditional rumble in them to the HD rumble too. More feedback. Gyro also works without issues. No NFC if that matters to you.

    • chriise on 30/04/2022 - 18:28

      How the size compared to ds4 controllers?

        They're more or less identical. Seems like the same or almost same mold.

        Thankyou so much! When I noticed that this deal had run out of stock, I purchased one anyway from another Amazon seller (that a user above linked to) for about $10 more as it still seemed like a good controller at a good price. But after seeing your post I went back and cancelled that order and then bought 2 of these at the cheaper price!

        Thankyou sir, you are a champion! 🏆😃

      • OldBugger on 02/05/2022 - 15:28

        Interesting how the original deal can be sold out and this one you linked available. Both from the same seller 🤔

    Ordered two of these soon after OP posted the deal, and after testing them just now, I suggest avoiding these.

    The joysticks are the typical "8-directional disguised as analog" garbage that have been in the $5-$10 knockoff ps2/ps3 controllers from ebay or aliexpress since forever. It's basically just ewaste if you actually plan on using the joysticks.

    Here's a video of exactly what I'm talking about taken from the Switch's calibration menu: link

  • ste05 on 06/05/2022 - 19:27

      Did you press the home button for 4 seconds or so to get blue tooth pairing move to activate? The 4 leds start flashing more rapidly at this point and windows detected the device footy me at this time.

  • AEKaBeer on 10/05/2022 - 15:02

    I picked up 2 of these last week they seem pretty decent on PC. One warning for anyone after analogue triggers, this only has digital buttons so no gradual throttle controls in racing games, etc.

    As for comfort they're actually really nice in the hand and weigh less than an Xbox one controller without feeling cheap.

  • AEKaBeer on 12/05/2022 - 09:57

    Update on these as my switch arrived last night. I'm not sure how much better a Nintendo pro controller would be, but I feel like there would be diminishing returns. These are fantastic on the switch, far better than the joycons for my hands and they seem really responsive.
