Nintendo Switch Pro Controller appreciation post.

I bought it over a month ago and I’ve hardly used the joycons since. Having used the Xbox Series controller and the PS5 controller, this is very much my favorite controller in terms of grip and buttons and controls.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller changed everything for me!

I just gotta say… the Switch Pro Controller has completely transformed my experience with the Switch. I’ve always loved the idea of Nintendo exclusives like Mario, Donkey Kong, all the platformers that you just can’t get on PS5. But playing them with Joy-Cons was honestly a struggle bus for me. Prec

If you haven't got one already, I highly recommend it.

The Switch Pro controller is definitely the best official Nintendo controller you can buy for Switch. I unwrapped this on Christmas day and have been using it regularly; I haven't needed to charge it yet! It's very comfortable to use and the battery life is incredible.

Modded my Switch Pro Controller: Aknes TMR + eXtremeRate Hair Triggers

After being disappointed by the 8bitdo Ultimate 2, I decided to mod my Switch Pro Controller, since I already love its feel. I installed eXtremeRate Tactile Hair Triggers (ZR/ZL + L/R) and Aknes TMR joysticks. Here are my thoughts:

ZR/ZL Triggers | L/R Shoulder Buttons

I like the original membrane

Anyone else love that the Dualsense and Switch Pro controller are very slowly becoming more popular than Xbox controllers for PC players?

Like the de facto controller for PC gaming was Xbox controller back then. Only Xbox button prompts. Slowly, developers are adding PS and Switch button icons. Native gyro is becoming more adopted on PC, whether you have to plug in your Dualsense or it has steam input implementation, devs aren't cater

The Switch Pro Controller might just become my favorite all-time controller.

I was super hesitant about picking up a Pro Controller for my Switch after I saw the price point. IMO it should be priced a lot lower that is my biggest complaint about it. That being said. This is maybe the most ergonomic controller I've ever bought/held.

If fells super natural. Really smooth yet

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is the best controller I've ever used.

I got my Nintendo Switch in May of this year. I have been playing with the Joycon attached/in the Joycon Grip since then… I got a Pro Controller today and I don’t think I’ll be able to go back.

After playing with the Pro Controller for the last few hours, I think I can truly say that it is the most

Changing controllers

Curious to hear other peoples stories about switching types of controllers. Especially if you’ve been playing since GameCube was the only option.

For me, I’ve been playing since Melee was released. Never thought I could play with anything but a GameCube controller due to muscle memory and being a

Review: Mobapad N1-HD Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

(DISCLAIMER: Mobapad provided the controller used for this review.)

A lot of people will say that the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is one of the most comfortable controllers ever made, and I tend to agree with them. Functionally, though, it's not perfect, as it has a less-than-stellar d-pad and j

Gamecube controller vs Switch Pro controller

I'm thinking of picking up a new controller with Smash... but I'm torn between the two, on the one hand I've heard the pro is comfy and has amazing battery life. But I grew up with the Gamecube controller and that would be a trip down memory lane. For those that own either or both what are your opin
