You could say I'm easy to please, but give me a Switch 2 controller that looks like Kirby has swallowed it, and I'll smile for days. That's right, PowerA's gamepad tribute to the puffball works with the new gaming handheld, and th💎e fact that it's under $30 is just a delightful ch♛erry on top of a wireless pink pudding.

PowerA Kirby Mouthful controller for Switch is currently going , and you've got a 33% discount to thank. It typically costs $44.99, but even with previous offers applied, it rarely drops below $30. You could say the timing is impeccable since you can now 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:buy the Nintendo Switch 2 and OG gamepads work with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming handheld 🌌contender, not to mention it's just stinkin' cute.

Save $15 - This is the lowest price I've spotted on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PowerA Wireless Kirby Controller in moౠnths, and it's practically a record low since its lowest recorded price is only two dollars less and was extremely brief. I've fully tested this pad with Switch 2 and can confirm it works, so it could make for an extremely affordable and adorable alternative to the new Pro controller.

As a massive Kirby fan, I'd be lying if I said I didn't love this gamepad purely for the aesthetics. I mean, it's a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch controller that looks like it's ꦫbeen swallowed by everyone's favorite, slightly monstrous, floaty friend, what's not to love? Well, if that's not enough for you, PowerA has sprinkled in some features that actually help this cheap accessory take o💦n the new Switch 2 Pro Controller.

Namely, this wireless gamepad actually has mappable back buttons just like the new Pro Controller, and PowerA actually beat Nintendo to the chase in this department. The toggles are pretty easy to map and comfortable to reach thanks to the pad's ergonomics♐, so you don't have to splash out $84.99 just to gain some extra inputs.

Despite being a more budget option, the PowerA Wireless gamepad retains features like motion controls. This is extremely handy for games like Zelda: Breaꦇth of the Wild that largely use a traditiona👍l control scheme, but will catch you off guard with dashes of gyro support that make all the difference (looking at you, Myahm Agana Shrine ball puzzle.)

Rather than using an integrated battery, PowerA's Wireless Switch range also uses AA cells. This is something some of you will view as a con depending on your preferences, but if you're used to using 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox controllers or have a stash of rechargeable batღs, this pad won't force you to sta🧔rt using wired charging methods.

Of course, ditching internal charging altogether also comꦉes with drawbacks, as the controller also forgoes wired support. That means you won't be able to plug it into your console and use it like a USB gamepad, meaning it's strictly for wireless use.

If you're a big fan of HD rumble, PowerA's Kirby controller isn't going to satiate your needs either, as it features zero vibrations. This is probably the one caveat that bothers me most since it makes the gamepad feel lighter than I'd like, but the omission isn't uncommo༒n at this price point.

Keep in mind that this Kirby controller is currently under $30, and even with the above drawb🐽acks, it's still pretty great value. To put things into perspective, you can pick up three of these PowerA pads for just $5 more than a single Switch 2 Pro Controller, and while the latter pad will feel much more premium, it certainly can match the puffball on sheer chaotic cuteness.

Now all I need is for Nintendo to add Kirby to Mario Kart Wor🍃ld (don't make me beg.)
