ECHTPower Switch 2 Controller, Hall Joystick Controller for Switch 2 Retro Design, 2025 Wireless Switch Pro Controller with RGB/Turbo/Marko/Vibration, Wireless Gamepad for Switch 2/OLED/PC/Adroid/iOS

I'll start off by saying I love the official Switch Pro Controller from Nintendo. I think it's super comfortable. The only thing I want is a controller just like it with extra programmable buttons, and this thing is the best controller I've found that fit the bill!I love how the button layout is exactly like the Switch Pro Controller - a lot of other third party controllers will swap the Home buttons with turbo or something else and it messes me up because of my muscle memory. The shape is pretty close with the handles being a bit thicker, which I have found I like. It's just as comfortable to hold for long periods, if not more.. The plastic feels very nice and high quality! I love the black on white aesthetic as well and the RGB lights are just a bonus (do wish it had a color fading mode that just rotates through colors without breathing/turning off though. Also wish the ABXY buttons could be changed and match the color of the sticks instead of always Xbox colors, but it still looks nice).I also love how easy and intuitive it is to set the programmable buttons or create a macro (and the LEDs for that matter). I've tried other controllers with these features where if you don't do it for a while, you forget how the hell to set it and have to reference the manual.I don't have a big need for macros right now, but I have tested it out and it works super well! It's pretty robust honestly. You can even record analog stick movements to the macros which opens up a lot of possibilities! As well, you can set the buttons to be one specific direction on a stick, so you could hold the button to simulate holding the stick in that direction. Seriously the best macro feature I've seen on a cheap controller like this!The wake function is very realiable! More reliable than the official Nintendo controller actually. It works flawlessly the first time every time.Now the main issue I had was the placement of the macro setting buttons. They really should be further away from where your middle fingers test, because I found that I would often hit them by mistake, which doing so would reset the macro button to do nothing. I got this controller pretty much just for Tears of the Kingdom so I could run with XL and jump with XR, thereby being able to move the camera around while running and jumping. This really is a game changer if you like exploring on foot like I do. However, pressing your jump button, expecting to jump, and not jumping (because the macro button got accidentally unset) obviously is a frustrating problem that led to many goofs and deaths.They could fix this issue a few different ways. Either by moving the buttons further in or up, or even a simple software change so you had to long press the button to unset it and otherwise pressing it without any other button simultaneously would be ignored. That would probably be the best way to solve it. Or they could recess the buttons so they're not easy to press by mistake - and that's exactly what I took it upon myself to do! I opened the controller up with a screwdriver and sanded down the macro setting buttons so now they're about 2-3mm in and it's impossible to press them by mistake. I have to intentionally push the tip of my finger into the hole to hit the button. Completely solved the problem!There is another minor issue I've seen other reviewers mention: the very short disconnect/sleep time, but this is entirely fixable as well—and officially! All you have to do is use the KeyLinker app on your smartphone. Pair the controller to your phone (in the app, not in your Bluetooth settings). You'll see all the settings you can play with. On the last tab to the right "Other", you'll find "no operation shutdown time". It's set to 5 minutes by default, but you can set it anywhere up to 30 minutes or to never shut off. Perfect!The only thing that isn't fixable but I can live with is the battery life. It's not bad but I wish it was better. The official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has crazy good battery life. Whenever I use it I feel like I don't have to charge it for days. This, I feel like I have to plug in at least once a day or every other day (tbh I haven't properly measured). Also to be fair, this has LEDs sucking the juice up too and I have not tested the battery life with them off. I like the lights and have a cable nearby so it's no problem to plug it in when I need to. Though, I wouldn't have minded this having a slightly higher price tag to have a larger battery inside. But I'm happy with it either way.Only other minor issue is I wish the screenshot and home buttons weren't so raised - they can more easily be pressed accidentally, and I find myself hitting screenshot sometimes when I'm reaching for -, but this isn't a deal breaker.Overall, this thing is great and the only real issues were easily fixable, so I totally recommend it!

I’ve tested dozens of controllers, and the ECHTpower PC Gaming Controller is a true standout. The Hall Effect Joystick delivers buttery-smooth movement with zero drift, even during extended play. Whether I’m navigating tight corners or executing split-second combos, the 1000Hz polling rate ensures instantaneous response—no lag, just pure precision.What really sets this controller apart is its versatile compatibility. I seamlessly switch between my PC, Switch, iPhone, and Android tablet with no hiccups. Just remember to toggle the mode switch before connecting—simple and smart.The 800mAh battery gives me a solid 15 hours of gameplay, which means fewer interruptions and more wins. Plus, the customizable turbo and vibration settings let me tailor the experience to suit whatever genre I’m diving into.Oh, and can we talk about the RGB lighting? With 9 colors and 4 lighting effects, I was able to sync my setup perfectly—it just looks slick. Top it off with the durable gel buttons that feel tactile and satisfyingly responsive, and you’ve got a controller built to last through countless sessions.If you're serious about your gaming or just want a future-proof, all-in-one controller, this is it. ECHTpower nailed it.

First off, I would say my score is closer to a 3.5/5 than a 4 but Amazon is Amazon. I got this controller for $19 after tax with a coupon to use on my PC. For that price, there is a ton of value here. 90% of the reason I chose this controller is because of its aesthetic. I LOVE the Super Famicom color scheme. I've played with this controller for a few days and I would say my impressions are mostly positive but there are glaring issues that keep this controller from truly being a budget king that I hope the company addresses to take their controller to the next level.Pros:+ Hall effect joysticks. HE Joysticks are sadly still not the standard so its always nice to see a controller that has them.+ Extra programmable paddles on the back. Should be standard on every controller at this point but always nice to see.+ Turbo button. Sadly a lot of third party controllers make you pay a premium for this so its really nice to see it on a budget option.+ Buttons (for the most part) feel responsive and clicky.+ RGB with a decent amount of options. I was disappointed to see there wasn't just a basic "white" color but you can turn off the RGB completely which is a great alternate option for someone that doesn't care for RGB.+ Works both wired or wireless on PC.+ The controller looks great. Aesthetically its one of the best controllers out there IMO.+ You can completely reset the controller with some button inputs in case its having a random issue.+ It's 20 bucks for a completely functional decent controller.Cons:- Triggers. The triggers just don't feel great. Not necessarily the actual build quality but the responsiveness on screen. You have to REALLY press it and if you press it too lightly, the input can either whiff completely or it inputs but only for a second then immediately breaks away. This is VERY noticeable in FPSes when you're aiming down sight. This is kind of a hard thing to quantify without experiencing it but other 3rd party controllers I've used don't do this including the $30 Nyxi Chaos. It's not impossible to get used to but its not something I feel like I should have to get used to.- The analog sticks, while they exceeded my expectations, feel a little loose and the deadzone is a smidge too big. Don't get me wrong, perfectly usable but when you need to make very fine adjustments in a FPS you can see the controller struggle just a bit.- RGB implimentation is jank. It works fine but things like the macro programming rely on the RGB to give you an idea that its in programming mode. If you turn off the RGB then you turn it off for EVERYTHING, including indicators when programming the buttons. This is a pretty glaring oversight. Once you understand the controller then the lights aren't needed and you can do it by feel but this is silly.- You can't set the triggers to the programmable buttons. Why? The Nyxi Chaos is very similar (albeit better) to this controller and it can program the triggers to the back paddles so I know its possible. This is a pretty big downside to me.- Build quality overall is pretty cheap and the controller is very light. You get what you pay for. I don't really mind the lightness of the controller but it does make it feel cheap.Overall, for 20 bucks this a very good controller. The cons, while there, don't really ruin the experience at all but would I saw its worth it? The aesthetic really carries this for me but otherwise I would say probably not if you want the best value. I mentioned the Nyxi Chaos controller which is about $10 more than this controller and pretty much doesn't have any of the cons that I mentioned for this controller. The build quality isn't amazing on that controller either but its heavier and does feel like a step up. So I would say just pay the extra 10 bucks and get that controller.That said, if I got this controller I wouldn't be upset and it does the job.

Works as expected! Have a PS4 controller I have been using lately with Steam on Mac as I had some medical issues so laid up for a bit. Always preferred the Xbox style controllers though. The PS4 are kinda small and crappy to me. Got this just to try. Hooked up super easy with Bluetooth and seems to have near zero lag. Not a big gamer so not the best to be all judgmental but it is better/more comfortable than the PS4 for my use. We’ll see about longevity, but so far super pleased.
