Best pro controller option for the switch!
4 Stars
Best pro controller option for the switch!
Best pro controller option for the switch! I’ve always been a fan of the layout of the game cube controller. The controller has a very nice feeling to hand and actually I have found to be better to use in shooters like Doom than the pro controller (even has superior motion control support). I think the extra resistance on the analog sticks has a lot to do with it. The only thing that some people may not like is that the trigger buttons do you have a lot of travel before the tactile click that actuates them. Best way to work around it is to keep them depressed while holding the controller so that you just have to apply a little pressure to get past the bump at the end of the travel. It’s a shame that the switch doesn’t support progressive travel on their triggers because it would make these really ideal for racing games due to the immense amount of travel. The fact that this controller has all of the buttons needed to play any game, it’s not just limited to smash brothers. Another thing that makes this controllers superior to the pro controller and a lot of other third-party controllers is the fact that the plus, minus, picture, and home buttons or actually raised rather than flush with the face of the controller which makes them much easier to access. For games that require access to the menu on a regular basis having those buttons raised makes them far more accessible. The only downside is the lack of rumble , which for me is not a big deal but there are some games where it does play a part where I kind of miss it. Honestly I miss the weight of the rumble motors more than the rumble itself. This will actually replace my pro controller as my go to controller going forward, the only thing I might do to it to make it more well-rounded is to replace the C stick with the same analog stick as on the left side and while I have it open perhaps add something to the grips to give it a little more weight.Another great thing about these controllers which haven’t been mentioned a lot is the fact that, just like the enhanced controller that powera also makes, this is one of the few, if not the only third-party wireless controller for the switch that can actually turn on the switch with the menu button. Many others require you to use another controller to turn it on and then pair the controller.Every review that I’ve seen for this controller has commented on the fact that it takes batteries as a negative. As someone that has never had a problem with the Xbox still using batteries I have always had a drawer full of them so it’s no problem for me, the battery life is quite long however I don’t think the controller has any indicator when the battery is low and that would be the only downside in terms of the batteries. Since the switch controllers don’t use batteries it doesn’t register the battery level of this controller so as far as I can tell there’s no way to tell when the batteries are low.Overall, in my opinion, the best pro controller option for the switch to date. Why four stars you ask? Mainly because the picture in the description says that these are purple and really the color is blue or rather indigo, Definitely not even close to being purple ( see my pic of the comptroller next to a purple xbox one controller) But that aside, and absolutely fantastic controller!
