PowerA Nano Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch
The PowerA Nano Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch is the perfect controller for gaming at home and on-the-go. This compact rechargeable Bluetooth gamepad with motion controls and mappable buttons. This is the feature-packed accessory your Nintendo Switch has been waiting for.
For me, there wasn’t much to complain about with the PowerA controllers. They are responsive, the button placement is comfortable and you’re not paying Nintendo Pro Controller levels of money. A rechargeable battery allows you to play uninterrupted for up to 20 hours. Quickly and easily charge via the USB-C charging port with included 10ft USB-C cable.
The Nano sports a smaller footprint than our full-sized Enhanced Wireless Controller without reducing the size of the d-pad, buttons, triggers/shoulders, and analog sticks.
The controller does work with motion control. Also, this is a huge bonus if that’s the way you like to play, and that’s a point in its favour over other third-party controller options. Best of all, though, are the programmable buttons on the reverse, which for me sit very comfortably under my ring fingers and respond perfectly. Also, it’s easy to get them set up and the controller will remember what you’ve set them for between uses.

The D-Pad feels a little plasticky, and there is virtually no weight to the PowerA controllers, which is pretty great for long hours of play but not so good in games that give lots of feedback through the rumble – playing Mario Kart 8 seems harder versus the Nintendo branded controllers.
Also, the buttons are in pretty comfortable positions, and the controller sits naturally in the hand with fingers resting as you’d expect for playing your Switch games.
Overall, the Nano Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch might well be what you’re looking for if you’re after a programmable, light-weight and good-looking Switch controller – especially at a price point that beats the Nintendo Pro Controller hands-down.
