This is the controller you hand to your young family member when they want to play with your Pro controller.

It sounds like these wired controllers do NOT have gyro controls. Could be a deciding factor for a lot of people (at least it is for me).

Anybody have experience with this? How does it compare to something like the Logitech F310? I bought 5 like a decade ago and well they are still working fine for some family game nights.

These were the first controllers I went out and bought when my switch arrived a few weeks ago. They are perfect for my kids, but I wouldn't use them. I picked up the 8bitdo adapter instead and have been using my PlayStation controllers.

Definitely works on Windows. Shows up as a Direct Input controller so might need a mapper like the one built into steam to use it on xInput games. I'd be shocked if they didn't work on Linux but I haven't tried it.

I've got black regular wired and enhanced Pikachu that my son uses. The regular black is already a replacement after the first one started having stick drift. Cheap basic controller but perfect for kids who might be rough on them.

Similarly I've converted my 2 Stadia controllers to run with the switch via 8bitdo adapter version 2. Throw a decal skin on them and the kids love them especially since they are wireless.

I got one a while ago and found out after the fact, thankfully, I mainly use it to play 2D Mario games, the D pad feels better for it.

These were out of stock at my bestbuy, but popped over to GameStop and grabbed two clearance pdp Mario controllers which were bogo and about the same price. I had one of these and it broke and wasn't aware I had to go through powera.

yeah but the last nintendo controller I got from PowerA, the triggers are just buttons unlike xbox where it's pressure sensitive.
