Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Nintendo Switch Pro Controller - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Edition: Enhanced Gaming Experience! by Tyson Mosucka

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So expensive. But so good!

I've used the Wii U Pro Controller so much that the analog stick caps are showing signs of wear and tear. When I bought the Switch, I saw the price tag for this controller and thought it was ridiculous. A gamer friend scolded me and said I would eventually get a pro controller. I bought a Mayflash NS adapter and tried to sync my XBox One controller and my Wii U Pro controller to the Switch. It worked, but the controllers suffered from large analog stick dead zones and/or incorrect neutral point settings on the analog sticks. In desperation, I put the adapter back and just used the side switch controllers with the included controller mount. I have big hands, so the Switch's side controllers were awkward to use. After about a week I gave up and got this Pro Controller. As the same friend said, "Nintendo definitely knows how to make a good controller." The fit, finish, and battery life of this controller are AMAZING. I've played Payday 2 a lot with this friend and another friend and even during long weekend gaming sessions my hands don't hurt or cramp thanks to the ergonomics of this controller. So is the price of this controller justified? In my case. It was. But I gritted my teeth and placed an order here at Revain. As I said earlier, Nintendo knows exactly how to trick me into opening my wallet. I don't think you'll need this controller if the Switch is mostly played by kids. But teens and adults may find the ergonomics of this controller too good to pass up.
