My introduction to Nintendo came relatively late; the first console I owned was the Nintendo Switch. Its portability and ease of use have quickly made it one of my favorite consoles. While gaming on the integrated screen with the included Joy-Cons is adequate, there are times when the precision of a dedicated controller is preferable.
We’ve reviewed several PowerA products, noting their extensive range of high-quality and licensed accessories for the Nintendo Switch. This review focuses on the Nano, a compact and portable controller.
As illustrated, the Nano is only marginally smaller than the official Nintendo Pro Controller; however, this reduction in size contributes significantly to its portability. A convenient carrying case is included for protection against damage. The Nano is easily stowed and occupies minimal space. In use, the size difference is barely perceptible, even for users with larger hands. The controller’s dimensions may also make it suitable for younger players.
The controller provides a responsive and precise experience. The inclusion of two programmable buttons on the underside adds functionality not found on the standard Nintendo Pro Controller.
The Nano connects rapidly to the console via Bluetooth, allowing for immediate gameplay. Battery life is approximately 20 hours, and the controller fully recharges via USB-C in a couple of hours.
The only notable drawback is the D-pad, which exhibited a degree of sluggishness and required more deliberate input than desired. This is a minor imperfection in an otherwise impressive device. Despite this flaw, the PowerA Nano controller remains a compelling option, especially considering its cost-effectiveness compared to Nintendo’s first-party offering.
