Power A Reveals Pokémon Ditto Controller for Switch 2
Power A has unveiled a new Pokémon Ditto-themed controller for the Nintendo Switch 2. The accessory is set to launch on November 5, 2026, for $69.99 and features Hall Effect thumbsticks and programmable buttons. The article notes that Nintendo has so far announced only two official first-party Pro Controllers for the system.
Power A's Ditto-themed Switch 2 controller launches November 5, 2026, for $69.99. It offers Hall Effect thumbsticks, programmable buttons, motion controls, a GameChat C button, and up to 30 hours of battery life. A 10-foot USB-C cable is included, and it works with Switch 2, Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite.
Nintendo has announced only two first-party Pro Controllers for Switch 2: a Resident Evil Requiem model and an upcoming Ocarina of Time Joy-Con. Third-party accessories are filling that gap. The Ditto pad costs about $20 less than Nintendo's Pro Controller and $10 less than the original Switch Pro Controller, though its battery life is shorter than official pads that can exceed 40 hours.
This controller may appeal to Switch 2 owners seeking a cheaper, feature-rich alternative, especially Pokémon fans and gift buyers. Its Hall Effect sticks and programmable buttons could reduce long-term drift complaints, potentially influencing expectations for third-party accessories. If officially licensed options remain limited, Power A and similar brands may gain more visibility, while Nintendo could face pressure to expand its own controller lineup. The broader effect is likely modest, affecting mainly hobbyists
