Review on Nintendo Switch Pro Controller gamepad, black by Taufik (Taufik) ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average product, you can do better.

Overall, the best gempad for the Switch, but if you look at it in a vacuum, it's pretty weak. I do not advise taking it for a PC, although it works well if necessary - there are not enough features and the terrible DPAD spoils everything.

Pros
  • Convenient large buttons Good stick with smooth action without dead zones or non-linearities Gyroscope USBC
Cons
  • No analog triggers! The Switch doesn't have them either, but that doesn't make the device control any better. Analog triggers have been the industry standard for a long time, and even past Nintendo consoles had them. The cross is terrible. It is completely unsuitable for games in which it is actively used - instead of the "shatalka" it is all like one button, you can hold it all at once. In platformers and games like Tetris, this is a big problem, pressing right / left all the time turns up / down with it.

Pros: Very comfortable, fits perfectly in the hand, no complaints. Cons: It's a pity not to connect to anything other than a PC and a switch
