The PowerA Nano Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch is designed for gamers who want the precision of standard-size buttons, thumbsticks, and triggers within a more compact, space-saving form factor. By blending a smaller frame with full-scale controls, it ensures ergonomic comfort for hands of all sizes, making it an ideal choice for both children and adults.
Equipped with two precision-tuned analog sticks and an eight-way plus-shaped D-pad, this controller offers the tactile accuracy needed for complex gameplay. It features the familiar Nintendo ABXY button layout—which is larger than those found on standard Joy-Cons—alongside the essential Switch System buttons including +, -, Home, and Capture.
Connectivity is straightforward and reliable via the included 8ft (2.4m) micro-USB to USB-A cable, eliminating the worry of battery depletion during intense gaming sessions. An integrated LED provides a clear connection status, ensuring you are ready to play the moment you plug in.
Designed specifically for use while the Nintendo Switch is docked, this controller focuses on core performance. Please note that to maintain its compact design and value, it does not support HD rumble, IR, motion controls, or Amiibo NFC, and is not compatible with games that require Joy-Con only inputs.
