This is not like any game controller I have used before. It is the most customisable and versatile I have ever tried as well as being one of the most stylish and well equipped.
Priced at just £31.99 this new mobile game controller from Powerlead makes gaming an easier and more enjoyable experience. It will work wirelessly with the N-Switch and Android platforms, but a wired connection is needed for PC use and it is not suitable for the MAC platform.
In the branded mid-market box can be found the controller, charging cable, spare D-Pad plate and a well written and informative User Guide. All the usual buttons, D-Pad and joystick are here and work smoothly and well. Build quality seems fine with nothing looking likely to fail anytime soon.
The device all the usual controls plus a few more: L1, L2, R1, R2, Select, Left 3D Down L3, Turbo, D-Pad, Home, Start, A, B, X, Y, Right 3D, Down L3. Also on the front is the large Status LED. On the underside are N1, N2, M1, M2 along with R2 and L2 Travel depth switches and the Programming Switch. Phew!
A major selling point of the controller is the level to which it can be personalised and customised both for appearance and playability. The brightly coloured top panels pop loose and can be replaced as desired. The 3D Joystick and Cross Button ca be easily taken out and swapped over also. The R2 and L2 keys have adjustable travel, using easy access switches on the underside.
Bluetooth pairing with my Android 10 phone was quick and easy with auto-pairing working well subsequently. Charging the larger than average built-in Lithium 600mAh Battery takes about three hours and after that up six hours of gaming can be had. No dedicated charging cable is needed as it uses the latest USB-C charging port.
The device will work straight from the box with many games and other game-specific key mappings can be made by entering Custom Mode and assigning keys to specific game functions. This is all explained in the User Guide. When starting a new game I just test all the buttons to see which ones work and what default actions they have.
All the controls fall naturally to the fingers and when gaming with headphones on the experience is an immersive one. When gaming is done the unit will switch off after five minutes of inactivity.
This is a great way to improve the gaming experience and at a price that will not break the bank.
