PowerA Advantage Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch 2

Introduced to the market in 2025, this wired controller is officially licensed and designed for use with the Switch platform. The main hardware feature of the model is the incorporation of magnetic mechanisms: 2 sticks, which have the familiar asymmetric layout for the console, are built on Hall sensors, which almost eliminates physical drift of the axes and significantly increases the working lifespan of the components.

The controls include a total of 17 buttons, which encompass an accurate 4-position D-pad, 2 bumpers, and 2 triggers. On the backside of the housing, where durable plastic is primarily used, there are 4 rear buttons for quick command duplications "on the fly" without the need for reassignment in the system menu. Offering such flexible interaction configuration, the PowerA Advantage Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch 2 also stands out with built-in hardware audio control.

Through special keys, you can change the volume level, mute the microphone, and switch profiles of the hardware equalizer, using the standard direct headphone output. The controller intentionally lacks a battery to minimize the weight of the construction, so power is continuously supplied through the USB port. Signal transmission is carried out via a sturdy detachable cable 3 m long, which is equipped with a wired USB-A interface plug, while the port on the device itself has a symmetric USB-C format.

Basic physical feedback is delivered to the user's hands through classic built-in vibration. Main features that make this controller stand out include the use of Hall sensors, eliminating axis drift, and a robust lightweight design without a battery. Additionally, it features flexible control with 17 buttons, built-in audio management, and a sturdy detachable cable for uninterrupted play. With its durable structure and innovative features, it provides a long-lasting and precise gaming experience.
