We tried it with two Androids, and the lag was unbearable. Things take a turn for the worse if you try to use the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller as a pad for your phone. We didn’t find the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller’s latency distracting, or noticeable, but third-party pads like this do tend to have slightly greater input lag. In real-world terms, this means the PowerA might be two frames behind the Joy-Cons in a 60fps game or a single frame in a 30fps game. The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller took 40 frames, suggesting an input lag of 160ms. The Joy-Con input kicked in on-screen after 32 frames, suggesting an input lag of 133ms. But this would also let you use the pad with a cable, wired up. You could argue it doesn’t need one, as there’s no battery to charge. The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller also lacks a USB connector. If you use a lot of batteries you might want to consider buying a quality set such those from Eneloop, which hold charge about as well as a non-rechargeable battery.
This will, of course, depend on the quality of the batteries you use. PowerA says you’ll get up to 30 hours of use from a pair.
The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller also uses AA batteries rather than a rechargeable cell.

Sure, that pad doesn’t have the more refined HD Rumble of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, but a totally rumble-free controller may feel a little too inert to some of you. We can live without NFC, but the lack of any rumble seems a shame when the rival 8BitDo Pro 2 has rumble motors. There’s no rumble at all and no NFC, used to scan Amiibo toys. The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller misses out on a few important extras found in the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
