For those of us who have worked on SNES and GameCube controllers, we know that these are pretty simple to get into and maintain. However, in the trend of making modern game controllers more complex…

    Such a shame but hardly a surprise. I love the Switch Pro controller and use it for PC games a lot. I think it’s probably my favorite one ever made even with it’s lousy sticks. It’s also easy to disassemble so you can clean it, replace the battery or simply replace the shell.

    Sadly the Switch 2 pro controller isn’t only a gluey mess, it also has a much cheaper feeling to it. The surface on the plastic simply does not rest well in the hands and I bet scratches will look horrible too. It’s baffling because the old Pro controller is phenomenal in that regard. Nintendo kind of fumbled on that one in my opinion.

    Yeah, I thin the first Switch will be the last console I’ll ever own. Except for big IP titles, most games are available on PC as well. And are often better, with more effects and higher refresh rates. And with devices like the Lenovo Legion Go, they blow even the Switch 2 out of the water. And you also control the software on it. They can’t be bricked by the manufacturer for modifying the software either. And you can use any other controller you want.

    Nintendo is in big trouble.
