Nintendo Switch Pro Controller - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Edition

One of the joysticks on my left stopped working after a few months after I bought it from Gamestop. When it was fixed, I bought another one while the other was being repaired. I sent it back under warranty, thinking it was an error. I bought the first one and it worked fine for a few months, but then two months later There is a problem when the ball cover of the joystick top rubs against the round opening of the case, creating all sorts of plastic dust that gets into the joystick electronic switches and damages them. In an attempt to fix the problem, I opened the joystick top, blew out the electronics, and the problem eventually went away. I then cleaned the joystick top again, but this time it works again. After using isopropyl alcohol to flush it, and vacuuming out the remnants, it worked for a week of heavy use, but then stopped working An estimate for the repair was either $25 or $29, depending on the damage. My choice was to buy a third-party one, which has worked longer than both of them and has continued to do so. Make sure to not throw your money away until the designers fix this problem. Sadly, it's very smooth and responsive when it's working and has a very nice feel to it.

We'd like to see the price lowered a bit. As long as Nintendo keeps accepting my money, I will keep doing so. It was a purchase when I started playing Zelda BOTW and I did not particularly enjoy playing with the attached joycons. The thought of paying another 70 bucks to get a controller was revolting. It wasn't easy, but I did it, and I'm happy with the result. With this, the build quality is superior to my Xbox, and the battery seems to last for a very long time. As a player, I'm also very pleased with the feel of this controller in comparison to the Xbox ones. The Nintendo DS is a damn thing. I now own four Joycons (for mario cart), plus an extra controller, plus a charger, plus the plastic steering wheels for the game. Is there anything you want me to buy next.

A little use of my left thumbstick resulted in a broken thumbstick. This controller has a 3 month warranty, which is not long enough for such an expensive product. The Nintendo Switch has a 12 month warranty, so this controller should as well.

When the joycons that came with my console started having issues, recalibrating did not fix them. I bought this thing to fix the problem. My body was so used to playing with joycons after a year of using them exclusively. Whether they had the shell or not, they were very comfortable as players in their own right. Even though I still want to get the joycons fixed or replaced someday, I'm getting used to the new controller. It took me a day to get used to it, but it already feels just as comfortable as the joycons in the joycon shell did. I could comfortably grip it for several hours of gaming, despite it being a bit heavier than what I expected. Feedback is decent on most of the buttons. In the first week since I got it, I haven't had to charge it once. It seems almost as good as the joycons I got mine last week. During my review, I didn't have any complaints about the layout except for the home menu and snapshot buttons being at an awkward position and the fact that they don't protrude out of the screen. When I used to be able to record a video in the middle of a Splatoon game, I didn't have to break the action to reach the button, but now it seems I have to stop it to reach the Note EDITOR'S NOTE I just thought I would let Despite what you may have believed, Pro Controllers have drift problems as well. It comes and goes, but I have some pretty irritating drift. As long as one of these is better than purchasing another of those pathetic defective joycons, I'm sticking with my decision. What is the only game for which you need a joycon? What do you call a bad remake of an old Pokémon game no one I do like that Joycon can be made into two tiny controllers, however, I'd trust to actually have two normal controllers rather than a Joycon.

So good, yet so simple! There are heavy stains on my analog stick caps due to my heavy use of the Wii U's Pro Controller. My first reaction upon seeing the price tag of this controller when I purchased my Switch was 'this is nuts. ' In a teasing comment, a gaming friend told me I'd get the Pro Controller eventually. As you may know, I recently purchased a Mayflash NS adapter that enabled me to sync my Xbox One and Wii U Pro controllers In terms of the controllers, either the sticks had large deadzones or the neutral points on the sticks were incorrect. To simplify my life, I just used the Switch's side controllers with the bracket that came with it instead of the adapter. As we have large hands, I found using the Switch's side controllers to be difficult. It took me just around a week to give in and purchase Nintendo knows how to make a good controller, as the same friend commented. This controller is extremely well built, looks great, and has a great battery life. The ergonomics of this controller have enabled me to play Payday 2 with a friend as well as another and still not feel sore or cramped throughout the duration of a long weekend. Can this controller be justified at the price it is offered at? As far as I am concerned. That was the case. Yet, I gritted my teeth as I went through the order process The Nintendo Company sure knows how to get me to open my wallet, as I have said before. If it is mostly kids who use the Switch, I doubt you will need this controller. Teens and adults may find this controller too convenient to pass up based on its ergonomics.

A purchase so my 11yo and I could play Mario Kart on his new Switch (joy cons + adult hands = no good, IMO). I let him figure out how to set everything up, and in less than a minute he had it all set up and working. As far as I can tell, anyone can do it if an 11 year old It did not matter to us what the directions were. I highly recommend this game to be played on.

Hey, I picked up this controller because I'm an idiot who refuses to settle for the black one, and then I was curious to check out the game itself, so I bought it and almost 200 hours in Xenoblade later, I can say this controller is an absolute beast. It uses the same controls as a standard Pro Controller, and it's My friends who know what xenoblade is can judge me for liking such an odd-ass game. Now not only can I feel insecure about my masculinity, but I can also be judged for liking a weird, hair-raising It's hard to imagine anything else you could possibly There is no way that it is worth the upwards of 100 dollars listed for it. Use a pro controller if you're not as picky as I am, or use the joycons if you're not a picky pile of human trash. I bet you play only Smash anyway, jackass, and you don't even do that well.
