How do you all feel about the new pro controller.

First off I wanna say the matte finish goes a long way and I love how it feels compared to my og switch pro controller. My only gripe would be the thumb sticks, they have a different feeling and are quieter than the og switch pro controller. I love the controller and is a way better option than the

The grind was INSANE! Did all the Free Mode achievements as Zhang He using T. Knives r4 (Frost, Velocity, Frenzy, Explosive, Flurry, and Induction) + riding Red Hare all the time.

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.

Damn the analog sticks feel smooth like butter to use. Like really nice to move them around. Would recommend getting it, especially if you’re like me and sick of getting joy cons that eventually drift.

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.

PSA. With the release of the xeno controller nintendo have redesigned the pro controller dpad.

Some people have mentioned here that the dpad on the xeno controller feels different to older pro controllers, so I opened up my xeno controller and an older one to take a look.

I found that nintendo have infact redesigned the dpad a little in the xeno controller.

The first difference, which I ho

Steam now fully supports the Switch Pro Controller!

Not sure if this is allowed or not on this subreddit but I am sure happy about this.

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
