Current Events > The Switch 2 Pro is the nicest feeling controller ever

(+) Yeah! (+)

Everything is so soft, smooth, and quiet. The sticks not having that tick when moving from centre that the dualsense and 8bitdo ultimate have is so nice.

If the right stick was up top I'd rank it higher than the Wii U Pro

Would be nice if they'd make more colours for it. That's the one thing Sony does properly. Grey is boring

Are you talkin about the Pro 2 controller? Because yeah it is very nice.

The default S2 joycons are only slightly better than the Switch, which are not ideal. I really want a split pad to come out for handheld mode.

It's smaller and has softer padding.

Face buttons, sticks, and shoulder buttons are much better

The shape of the handles were changed and it's slightly smaller so that could be better/worse depending on hand size and grip. It's much better for me. I found the original to be just okay, and this one really good.

Don't have a fighting game on my switch to test the DPad yet so idk if it's better or worse

Not big enough of a difference to be worth buying if you still have a functional controller. Only got it because my Wii U Pros' sticks are dead.

Nintendo has done some voodoo with the battery. A full charge lasts weeks for me. I have to charge my PS5 controller every other day.

I don't think anything will ever beat the Wii U Pro's battery. 80 hours compared to 40 for the Switch 1/2 Pros

Its been like that since the Wii U one at least. 80 hour battery life ever since then.

It still has the problem with accidental inputs, where, for example, you push down and it also registers left or right. It just has a higher threshold before the mistaken input registers. So if you push down, the direction has to also be tilted a lot more to the left or right before it accidentally registers left or right.

yeah the d pad is the only thing I don't like about it

I'd love to get one, but $90 is a hell of a price tag for a controller. Thanks, Trump.

I might pick up one of those charging grips, though.

Maybe it's too smooth. Gets kinda sweaty

Mario Kart is serious business.

Better than this?

Same, it seems slightly improved from the OG pro controller, but i'm kind of shocked they didn't do more with it. Other than that, the controller is easily my favorite i've used
