Review on 🎮 Wireless Pro Controller for Nintendo Switch/Switch Lite, YCCTEAM Remote Gamepad Joystick with NFC, Enhanced Vibration and Wake-up Capability by Jessica Erwin

So considering the price I paid for this controller I can't be too upset. I bought this as a cheap temporary replacement for my Dualshock 4 PC gaming controller and got what I paid for. In some ways it exceeded my expectations, but the shortcomings, particularly the D-pad issues, disappointed me to say the least. Overall I'd say this is a pretty good controller for the money if you don't intend to use it to play the aforementioned 2D platformers, gamecube games, and racing games. a nice recessed center for your thumbs, as is expected of most modern controllers. Highly responsive and ready to fire out of the box, they are great for shooters. Gyro: I play a lot of shooters, and while I like a keyboard and mouse for a more competitive or precise experience, I enjoy playing shooters with my controller for recreation. However, to get the most out of a given controller, I think it's always better to find a way to implement gyroscope controls to help with precise aiming. The gyroscope feels great on this controller and as someone who fell in love with the concept of a gyroscope on PC with a Steam controller back in 2014 and then switched to a Dualshock 4 as the primary controller, I can tell you that the gyroscope just feels so accurate. . The zombie limit in RE4 looks just as good as the DS4 controller. 😁 Controller Appearance: Although some people complain that it "feels cheap", I think they are confusing "light" with "cheap". Because it's so light it's better for aiming in my personal opinion, although your mileage may vary. The plastic is of high quality, the keys are pleasant to the touch with a pleasant click, similar to a mechanical keyboard. I also like the design as not only does it look pretty cool but thanks to the texture it also feels like it won't slip out of your hands. Cons: - 2D Platformer: The D-Pad is crazy! If you point your finger in any of the 4 cardinal directions and your thumb is NOT EXACTLY where it should be, that counts as a roll. For example, I tested this while playing Super Mario Bros 3. I held down to test how it felt to crouch, and without touching the left or right direction, just shaking the D-Pad slightly, it barely noticed I was trying to press, moving instead Mario moves left or right. Gamecube Games: There is no analog in triggers, so you can't even emulate Gamecube controller dual-state triggers. What is usually an analog trigger is the digital buttons, although that's not the controller's fault. It's Nintendo's fault that their 2017 hybrid console didn't include at least the analog trigger FUNCTIONALITY to allow the use of analog Pro Controllers. Analog triggers have been the industry standard since the Dreamcast, 20 years before the original Japanese release. And that brings me to my final point. Racing Games: Almost all racing games since the Xbox 360 in 2005 use analog throttle, reverse and brake triggers. This allows you to gradually control the acceleration and decide whether you want to hit the gas gently or push the pedal to the floor. But as it is problematic for Gamecube games, not having analog in triggers is also problematic for racing games, as it means full throttle or nothing, there is no intermediate value. For some drivers it won't matter much, but for many like Project Cars, GRID. I could name dozens if not hundreds of drivers. Not to mention simulation games that use analog triggers. Overall, despite the shortcomings, for $25 I can't complain. That's half the cost of a true original manufacturer wireless controller, and most people aren't going to use it primarily for 2D platforming or racing games anyway. The Switch already had the problem of not having analog triggers, so I can't fault the controller. The D-Pad and lack of rumble are actually two real downsides to the controller design itself, but honestly I have DS4 and Steam controllers for this purpose when it counts. The reason I bought this was because my right DS4 stick was drifting a lot, so I bought it as a temporary solution until I can find a suitable replacement for the DS4 controller. This will get the job done with minimal fuss due to imperfections. So if you're in a similar boat, I'd recommend it if you're on a tight budget. However, if you have the money don't skimp, buy a proper 4/5 controller for the price, but if it's over $25, buy something else.
