PowerA just dropped a new wireless controller for the Switch 2 that has everyone talking. With compatibility for the OG, Lite, and OLED models, this bad boy might just give the official Pro Controller a run for its money. Priced at £54.99 / $69.99, the Advantage Wireless Controller is available in Black, Mario & Friends, and Pokémon: Mega Evolutions flavors. It’s packing some serious features, including Hall Effect analogue sticks, motion controls, a dedicated C button, mappable back buttons, and more.
Now, being a third-party controller, you’re not going to get all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, there’s no NFC amiibo support, and it looks like these controllers won’t have wake-up support for the Switch 2 either. But hey, at £20 less than the Pro Controller, the savings might just make up for those missing features. Let’s dive into the key features of the PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller and see if it’s worth adding to your gaming setup.
Hall Effect Modules: These contact-free magnetic sensors in the thumbsticks give you that pro-level feel and help with precision and longevity. Advanced Gaming Buttons: With mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons, you can gain an edge over your competition by programming on the fly, mid-game—no need to mess with system settings. Intuitive Motion Controls: Immerse yourself in your games with responsive motion controls that provide an intuitive way to aim, steer, fly, and more. C Button: Easily activate fun GameChat features. Rechargeable Battery: Enjoy up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge, and it comes with an extra-long 10 ft. USB-C cable for recharging. Ergonomic Design: Game for hours with a controller that feels great in your hands, thanks to cutting-edge ergonomics and top-of-the-line materials. Nintendo Family Compatibility: Compatible with the Nintendo Switch system of devices, including the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, and Nintendo Switch Lite. Officially Licensed: PowerA products have been thoroughly tested and evaluated by Nintendo to ensure compatibility with the Nintendo Switch 2 system.
