Review on HORI Nintendo Switch HORIPAD Wired Controller (Red) - Officially Licensed by Nintendo by Vedavyas Fleming

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good backup controller

Arrived on time and in new condition. Bought this controller because of the drift issues that official joycons have. Key response is good so far, but travel time has increased slightly by a few milliseconds. It takes a few hours to get used to. The joysticks are a bit tight initially and take several hours to break in. The functions of each button and joystick are the same as the Joy-Con, but the +, -, Home, etc. buttons are positioned differently. Not so hot what's up. After using Joy-Cons while playing Zelda BOTW for about a year, the only thing I like about this controller is that it doesn't have motion controls. I instinctively do the "traffic control" maneuver, only to be disappointed it's not there. I guess I'll have to get used to not having this feature until Nintendo fixes my shortcomings. All in all, giving up traffic control to avoid having drift problems is a good deal for me. I'm still shocked and insulted that a giant video game maker would allow a successful platform to have drift issues on their controllers.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to say
