I was hesitant wether to order this or the official pro controller due to the patchy reviews on it being very good and some saying it’s complete rubbish. I received mine today opened the box, it felt amazing and not cheap in at al!! However the sync button was mechanically faulty so can’t sync it with the switch. I should have gone with my gut feeling and just ordered the office pro controller, which I’ll being doing straight after writing this review. My advice is don’t get drawn in by the price/design just go buy the 100% real thing!! Sorry if you do like this controller it I’m not impressed from the start!!

The Power A is a surprisingly solid third party controller. Feels solid and comfortable in the hand, doesn't creak when held tightly. While it looks identical to a GC controller from the front, the handles on the back are ever so slightly thinner. You can feel the difference when you first hold it, but after a short while you stop noticing. If a GC controller feels comfortable to use, this will too. The back is less bulbous than a regular GC as there is no rumble motor. Instead, the back is slightly flattened out and houses two AA batteries, this is not a rechargable controller.
The control stick feels pretty similar in weight to that of my Smash 4 GC controller, and slightly tighter than my original run and Panasonic Q controllers, and feels good to use in Smash. The physical deadzone is pretty tight as well, comparable again to my Smash 4. The stick box seems to use a more modern design; a regular GC controller's sticks tend to list toward the cardinal directions. You can feel slight clunks if you spin the sticks around at 50% tilt. Like modern controllers, the sticks of the Power A is much more smooth until you reach the octagonal gate. Overall, the sticks feel very solid, and work well in Smash.
The d pad is noticably larger than that of a regular GC, which I believe used the same d pad as the GBA. it's still somewhat awkwardly placed and I wouldn't recommend it for 2D games, but testing it out in Tetris it's a definite improvement on the original. Though to be honest, while it's a little awkward, NSMBUDx plays decently well with the d pad, definitely better than an official Switch Pro, which has a weirdly-balanced d pad.
The face buttons are placed right where your muscle memory will expect them, though the X and Y buttons are slightly higher the further away from the A button. The buttons are also less spongey and require a little more force to push down, parthaps a tad more than an Xbox One's face buttons. This will be preference, but I feel like the slightly tougher X and Y buttons make it a tad easier to hit shorthops in Smash Ultimate. I did start missing X > A and Y > A rising aerials to begin with, but I think I was just adjusting, being used to the lighter face buttons of the originals.
The shoulder buttons have different names to an original GC controller, where the blue bumpers are L and R and the grey triggers are ZL and ZR, but for uniformity I'll call the bumpers and triggers. The bumpers are larger than the one on a GC, and is much easier to use. They're also no longer hinged, so you press anywhere on it and it'll click in, all-round improvement.
The triggers of an original GC was split into two parts, the analogue press and the digital click at the end. The Switch doesn't register analogue shoulders, so this has been changed. The triggers are slightly smaller overall, but similarly shaped, and work very well once you get used to them. There is a small amount of give before they bottom out and click. This give is just to replicate the feel of the original, and it doesn't register until the click, but the give is actually very small, turning the triggers into reasonably digital shoulder buttons. I would have preferred it if there were no give at all like a Switch Pro, but in practice it's still an improvement on the original GC for the purposes of Smash Ultimate. I've been able to use ZR and Y for shorthopping, which I can't reliably do with a GC's R and Y due to the extra travel. Better than GC (which is Smash registers the analogue press a short way down), but still could have been better. Not cracked this bad boy open yet but you might be able to remove the springs, which should make this a non-issue.
The extra buttons do what they're supposed to, and it's nice have the Home buttom and - button, but I keep accidentally hitting the screenshot button because I often use my left thumb for Star/Pause on a GC.
Overall, a very good controller for Smash, and has everything you need to play any other Switch Pro-compatible games. Have motion as well, but I haven't fully tested that.
Pros;
- Wireless for home use
- Far superior d pad
- All Switch Pro buttons and features
- Sticks all feel solid
- Great build quality for a third party
- Better shoulder buttons than GC (in terms of Switch games)
- Battery powered, so you never need to tether it with a cable
- Ergonomically feels very close to a GC controller, more so than any third party I've used.
Cons;
- Wireless, so can't plug it in to PC, and may have issues in tournament legality and with large groups
- No rumble
- Battery powered, so you have to faff around with batteries
- The ZL and ZR triggers have a short travel distance before they click.
- Face buttons are a bit stiff. I don't mind, but it may throw you.
Overall I'm extremely pleased with this controller.

If you were a fan of the GameCube controller then this is perfect.
I was annoyed to find that the wired official smash GameCube controller didn’t come with the option to return to the switch home screen. So I bought this in its place. A great decision.
It’s frustrating that Nintendo are still churning out so many wired controllers... and if you want wireless you do have to pay the odds for it.
The controller itself isn’t just limited to smash either which is also great IMO.
I’d definitely recommend this.

Feels great. Shoulder buttons are slightly different, but still decent. Most importantly it's wireless and has all of the button functionality of a Pro Controller, with ZL ZR, Clickable thumbsticks, Screenshot, +, -, menu buttons and works with all Switch games. I wish I could find a way to use this controller with a PS4

I prefer playing certain games (mainly Mario kart and smash) with my original GC controller, so I really love this as it's wireless and has all the extra switch buttons so I don't have to swap back to joy cons to do certain things, meaning I can use it for more games now! All the buttons are nice and and feel pretty much identical to the original, the dpad being miles better! AA batteries are a bit annoying but not the end of the world imo. Also annoyed at Amazon for hiking the price of the purple one just because it's popular. I don't mind the grey through, it's like wavebird colour lol and now that sunshine is on the switch, it's just feels right playing with this, even if it doesn't support analog triggers, spin jumps are way more satisfying lol over all, I'm really happy with it, and if you're not a GC controller/smash purest and just want a decent controller with a bit of nostalgia, I think it's great for the price (and licenced)! Just note that it doesn't support Rumble or amiibo, but again for the price not that big of a deal imo

As someone who grew up with the GameCube, I am very used to the look and feel of that controller. This instantly feels cheaper and there are lots of minor changes, all for the worse in my opinion.
Most people seem to be complaining about the shoulder buttons, as the analogue trigger has been removed. This does not bother me as none of the games I play make use of this feature. However, the shoulder buttons are shiny instead of matte, so do not feel great. The L and R buttons that replace the original Z are also too large and chunky, so are not nice to use and look ugly. The d-pad is larger (the small size of the original being a common complaint), however is it pretty poor and often registers the wrong direction in game. The analogue sticks are both too heavily weighted and spring to centre much more aggressively. The C stick is also not rubberised, so grip is a problem. The box mentions that HD rumble is not supported, but I didn’t realise that this means there is no rumble at all, which I think is pretty poor.
All this adds up to me wishing I had just bought the official Pro controller instead. I was looking for a bit of nostalgia, but these changes make this feel like a new controller, so defeats the point for me. I don’t think it is a bad controller in this price range though, so is probably an ok choice for people unfamiliar with the original, although it is hard to overlook the lack of any form of rumble.
