Perhaps that can change down the road with a different model, but for now, this is a pretty cool option for late-night gaming. As mentioned before, the only gripe about it is the wired aspect, but that's pretty forgivable with the 10 foot detachable USB cable. It makes for a fun option for those seeking a Pro Controller with some added features, and it comes in pretty cheap at $35 on their website. ![]() Overall, I enjoyed the PowerA Nintendo Switch Spectra Enhanced Wired Controller. That's my only true gripe about it, and that's a very minor one. However, we're advanced enough in gaming that there should be a wireless option to this with a long-term battery and an option to just not have it lit up. I completely understand the idea of setting this up so it uses the console's power source to light up the controller. I only have one major issue with the entire thing, and that's the Wired aspect. I even hooked this up to my PC and used Steam's interface to use it through their platform, and it carried over well. PowerA did a fine job making sure it fits with the family of products and worked well across the board on franchise titles and other properties. It operates on every game like a dream, which is to be expected, it's a Nintendo-licensed product. Credit: Gavin SheehanĪs far as the performance goes, I had zero issues with this. So while it isn't super advanced when it comes to customization in lighting, you can set a basic theme to it in case you want it to match everything else you game with. The controller comes with eight different colors to program it in as you have red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, purple, teal, and green. ![]() ![]() The four main buttons, the D-Pad, and both thumbsticks also get edge lighting as a definition to where they are. There is a primary edge lighting around the controller's face that extends across the top so the primary look of it is highlighted. As you can see from the images below, you get a little bit of everything important lit up. The real standout to this entire controller is PowerA's listening scheme that they installed into the controller.
