Overview
- PowerA publicly revealed the Ditto‑themed wireless controller on Thursday, October 1, 2026, and retailers opened preorders with an Amazon US listing at $50.99.
- The controller is built for durability with Hall Effect thumbsticks, which use magnetic sensors to register movement and reduce the potentiometer wear that causes stick drift.
- Key features confirmed by PowerA include two remappable Advanced Gaming Buttons on the rear, full motion controls, a dedicated C Button for GameChat, a rechargeable battery rated up to 30 hours, and a 10‑foot USB‑C cable.
- The controller is officially licensed and compatible across the Nintendo Switch family, including Nintendo Switch 2, Switch (original), Switch – OLED Model and Switch Lite, but it does not include HD Rumble or amiibo scanning.
- The Ditto design follows a wider 2026 merchandising trend for the character and positions this lower‑cost PowerA option as a visible, branded alternative to Nintendo’s own Pro Controller ahead of its October 20 shipping date.
