Check Out This Real Cool Minecraft Switch Controller

Minecraft has remained incredibly popular since releasing in 2009, and it’s once again been thrust into the mainstream with the reveal trailer for A Minecraft Movie. The film won’t arrive until next year—but a new Minecraft Switch controller is now available, giving fans a great way to enjoy all their favorite games. The controller has already proven to be incredibly popular, however, and is currently out of stock at Amazon. Thankfully, Amazon is allowing you to continue placing orders and will update your shipping details when additional inventory arrives.

PDP Realmz Wireless Switch Pro Controller (Minecraft Steve)

$60

This PDP Realmz Wireless Switch Pro Controller features a striking design that’s inspired by Minecraft. The front faceplate features a blocky forest biome, and you’ll even find a collectible Steve figurine embedded below the left analog stick. Beyond its cool looks, it features a rechargeable battery and LED lighting effects that can be manipulated without the need for software. Best of all, it's officially licensed by Nintendo.

The built-in battery is longer than other third-party controllers, getting you up to 40 hours of playtime before needing a recharge. Keep in mind that the gamepad does not support motion controls, but otherwise it’s a pretty well-rounded device. If you do want motion controls, you can instead snag the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for $70.

Consider pairing your new controller with the PDP Realmz Glow-In-The-Dark Minecraft Switch Carrying Case, which costs $30 and fits all Switch models.

Plenty of other PDP Realmz controllers are available, featuring Pikmin, Sonic, Knuckles, and other popular characters. If you’re looking to build up a collection of slick gamepads, here’s a look at what else is up for grabs.
