PDP Gaming Wired Pro Controller Faceplate: Black Mario Star - Nintendo Switch Faceoff

Pros: Feels good in the hands. Nice Mario styling. All buttons are responsive. The turbo feature is nice. Comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, so it connected instantly with my Switch console. I love double pressing the turbo button to pause the feature. Works with Switch Console and Switch Lite. Cons: The turbo button is flakey. Sometimes it doesn't activate. Sometimes it won't deactivate. The cable feels heavier than the built-in cables these units used to ship with. There's some stiffness, which gives slight resistance when using. I would have preferred the "baffle" be down at the Switch than up at the controller.

For the price I paid ($18), it's very good. The buttons feel good for the most part (except for the d-pad, it's not great but still usable). Joysticks are fine. No rumble, motion controls or NFC, so for certain games you might want to use the joy-cons instead. And of course, the controller looks quite cool. The BEST thing about this controller is the paddles on the back. You can remap them quite easily, and they're super useful for jumping and running without taking your finger off the right joystick. It's a wired controller. The included cable is 10 feet, which might not be long enough for some situations, but 10 ft is a pretty long cable. The cable is detachable, so if you play pretty close to the switch or want to use the controller with an otg cable in tabletop mode (with a stand that allows for that), you can use a shorter cable. If you need to go farther than 10 ft, I suggest just getting a wireless controller, buying a longer cable is probably not worth it. With all of that said, if you already have a PS4 or Xbox One controller, I recommend getting an adapter that allows you to use those with Nintendo Switch instead (if you're okay with not having the paddles). The MAYFLASH and 8bitdo adapters are about the same price as this controller, but then you get to use a better controller.

The controller is great and works as good if not better than a pro controller. However you won’t go 4 months without one of the buttons sticking, to the point of insanity. No way to fix it as it’s a problem with the design. I’ve done everything to clean out the controller. After buying an entirely new controller and running into the same problem with the same button, I’ve come to the conclusion that the engineering behind the buttons causes them to stick after too much usage. It’s horrible.

I bought this back in April 2020, as I was after a decent controller for my Switch, but was hesitant to spend 60 bucks on that. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, honestly. I just wanted a quick and dirty solution to having a controller while gaming on my docked Switch. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. First impressions were that while the build quality was thoroughly unremarkable, it wasn't *bad* by any stretch. It was what I expected for the price, and I am okay with that. The faceplate of the controller has a nice textured finish that feels quite good to grip with your hands. I have yet to use the other faceplate, but I really like the default one too much to bother to swap. The Zelda themed designs have shown essentially no signs of wear and tear over 7 months. In terms of performance and usability the controller is fine. No latency problems, the buttons feel clicky and responsive (they are loud so beware if you want/have to be quiet). The triggers and shoulder buttons have no analog input obviously, but they have a fairly nice feel and good tactile actuation. The joysticks work well enough, with no drift so far, with a good tactile response if pushed. A standout though are the two remappable paddle buttons on the underside of the controller. These are amazing, with very good tactile feel and response. You can map any button on the controller to these paddles via a dedicated button towards the bottom. There are instructions included in the box about how to do this (they are not very well translated, but it's serviceable). The cons are that there is absolutely no haptic feedback, or even a basic rumble function. Also there is no Amiibo support if you're into that, I am not so this is irrelevant for my use. The next con is that this controller *cannot* wake the Switch from sleep mode. Also no motion controls whatsoever. Finally the controller is VERY lightweight, which belies its average build quality and a possible "cheapo" feeling that one might get upon first use. This didn't bother me, but it's highly subjective. Honestly for the price I am satisfied with this controller and I definitely recommend it if you're on a budget.

見ての通りＸボタンとＹボタンのほぼ同じ位置にホームボタン等があります。 このせいでレバガチャなどをする人は必ず事故りますのでスマブラをオンラインでする人は絶対に買わないほうがいいですね

J'ai acheté cette manette pour pouvoir jouer à plusieurs lorsque j'ai des invités, notamment à Mario Kart. Elle répond parfaitement à son besoin et est très jolie. Ensuite certes elle n'a pas été gyroscope ni de vibrations, mais vu son utilité ce n'est pas très dérangeant pour moi.

Love it. Looks great, works great and looks even better in person. As a Zelda fan I very much approve.

Works so well I havn't use any other controller since then. I get the idea to switch faceplate but I didn't try it yet and so far, I didn't saw any specifically faceplate made for this so... I guess it doesn't matter if the faceplate can be taken off easyly or no. So far it holds well and feels like a good controller. Works well, responsive, pretty, light. My only con is the turbo button, it can get confusing at first. I don't use it much so it doesn't bother me at all. For a third party controller that works well and is pretty, a good five stars to it.

2 commandées poir mes neveux, ils sont ravis. Finit les chamailleries pour avoir la manette pour jouer à mario kart.
