nobody could explain to me yet, whats the point of it splitting?

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 5 points 3 months ago

More options. It can be quite comfortable to use split controllers wirh your arms in a relaxed position.

hmm interesting... it's completely opposite of how I use a controller - often one hand grips tighter, so the other can get more lose and do precise or timed controls. That configuration often switches so i end up kind of kneading my controller. Thats where I feel a magnetic connection between the halves might pop in some cases. And two seperate halves can't accomodate that at all.

The split config is definitely more geared to casual gaming rather than super precise or timing based input, but I think unless you are really abusing your controller the magnetic joint should hold fine
