The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch is officially licensed, meaning it’s backed up by Nintendo’s own seal of approval. The controller also has a variety of Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon variants – though these sadly haven’t received a discount at this time.

While battery life doesn’t quite match the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller’s staggering 40-50 hours, the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller is nonetheless an excellent alternative that is discounted more frequently – not to mention more heavily. If you’re tired of waiting on Nintendo to drop the price of its signature gamepad, PowerA’s officially licensed offering is one of the next best options.

That’s because it goes almost pound for pound in terms of features when compared to the Pro Controller. Like many of the best Nintendo Switch controllers, PowerA’s controller packs in wireless connectivity, gyro aiming and the addition of two remappable buttons on the rear of the pad to make for an impressively versatile and feature-rich experience at this discounted price.
