![]() After a few evenings of heated Smash Brothers Ultimate play, I felt like the controller was well-suited to what I was asking from it. The sticks and buttons are nice and responsive, and even the D-pad has a nice snap to it. That makes it surprisingly light, which is comfortable for longer play sessions. There’s a certain weight to a Pro controller, mostly due to the rumble pack, which the PowerA controller doesn’t have. If you’re looking to kit out your living room with a couple of extra actual controllers, so your Smash party doesn’t have to fight over who’s stuck with a Jo圜on, PowerA’s lineup is an affordable wireless local option. What it does offer, aside from the design of Zelda across its face, is a pair of programmable buttons on the handles, around where a typical player’s ring fingers would be. It shares the Pro’s Bluetooth connection and motion controls, and takes a pair of AA batteries with a possible 20 hours of operational life. The Princess Zelda controller, available today, doesn’t have the built-in rumble capability of the Pro, which makes it considerably lighter. The PowerA Enhanced Controller in action. It’s the latest in PowerA’s line of branded controllers for the Switch, which offer a less expensive option to Nintendo’s Pro controller (about $20 less than a Pro or Jo圜on’s standard retail price) and offer a couple of extra features, in addition to a variety of colorful designs. PowerA sent over its newest product, a Princess Zelda-branded Enhanced Wireless Controller for the Switch (US$49.99), for us to test out. It first got on the national radar in 2012 with the MOGA controller, an adaptive controller for mobile gaming. PowerA, based in Woodinville, Wash., is a small third-party hardware manufacturer, owned by Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, that makes a variety of controllers, batteries, and recharging docks for the video game console market. Even Madcatz, which made a few nightmares in the 2000s (I still have an old Madcatz Xbox controller that feels like it was designed as a tool for aversion therapy), has mostly managed to rebrand and offer a few quality products. You can’t really get away with that anymore, however, and modern third-party controllers are a much safer proposition for the consumer. A few were successful upgrades, such as a couple of Nubytech’s arcade sticks, but most were unresponsive, poorly-designed, or just flat-out didn’t work. As recently as the days of the PS2 and original Xbox, third-party hardware manufacturers eked out a living making slightly off-brand, less expensive versions of trademark console game pads. (PowerA Photo)īack in the day, you didn’t want to be the player stuck with the janky third-party controller. ![]() My NI Hardware Is Not Recognized by My NI Software (OS X 10.10.The Princess Zelda PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller, by PowerA.My TRAKTOR Controller is Not Recognized by TRAKTOR.Your controller functionality should now have been restored in the corresponding NI software.
