    The Switch Pro Controller is really good. Basic but it feels nearly perfect in my hands. Imo it is worth. I hope Nintendo make them usable also for Switch II in the future.

    One thing I really like about the Pro Controller is its pretty simple it is to swap out shells. I've done a soft green shell and a transparent purple on my two controllers.

      Also technically you do need to take into account how batteries normally leak power. I think my original switch can play for like four or five hours or so on one battery charge, but also loses all of that charge over the course of 3 days just being in sleep mode

    I’m thinking about getting one purely for games that require more accuracy such as FPS and or games that require aiming in general because I found the joy con analog sticks even with sensitivity adjusted don’t move as smooth as they should and want to know if it’s a meaningful improvement in that sense.

    I have mine being delivered today, I just got the Switch (Oct 2023) and I instantly hated the controller, both just the joycons and also having them hooked into the bar. No grip and slippy as hell, plus small buttons designed more for children than adults, despite their marketing. I was never a brand snob, but if you are going to buy any console, always better to get official licensed products, just so that you can have the logo on the box.

    I have both the Elite Series 2 and I just got the Switch Pro Controller. The only thing that I don't like from the Elite that I love from the Pro controller is the texture of the XABY keys. They are soft to the touch which may be helpful for longer sessions. My fingers ache when I play for too many hours with the Elite.

    PS4, PS 5, Xbox controllers are all compatible with Nintendo switches, so for the price of a switch pro controller you could just get a better PS 4 or 5 or Xbox controllers. I didn't think it was worth the price, so I got myself a third party controller called the Laser Tri mode, it's like 20 bucks and it does the job.

  • @NintenPizza
    @NintenPizza Рік тому

    The official Switch Pro controller, imo, is one of the worst Nintendo controllers period. Why? It's high input lag(12ms more than the Joy-cons...) is unneceptable for most genres, it's boasting a boring/vanilla XBOX360 clone design which is so unlike Nintendo since they've been creating unique, colourful and innovative controllers for decades. It's HD Rumble feels diluted and muffled(probably due to being housed in thick plastic) Vs the detached joy-cons. With the Pro, it's harder to feel or catch those HD Rumble subtleties and definition. Plus, it's Gyro motion has no reference. Aka, no sensor bar. So you'll find yourself loosing cross hair accuracy and having to constantly press a realignment button, depending on the game.
    Hysterical. Can't wrap my head around why the pro controller is so highly praised. it's as bland and boring as it gets. it IS super comfortable, fits like a glove and the buttons feel mostly solid I'll give it that.

      This layout comes from the era of snes. Nintendo always had this layout. Xbox came up with their controller long after Nintendo. So, for many people Xbox is something that is not standard and is unnatural
