The 8Bitdo Pro+ has been great - works really well with my Steam Deck and Switch. Sounds like the Pro 2 is the superior version with hall effect sticks.
The Switch Pro controller has always been good too. And the DualSense is really neat with the haptics and adaptive triggers - expensive, but not that much more than a Pro controller surprisingly.
Yea, the Nintendo pro controller is way overpriced, before u got my 8bitdo I used these cheapo switch ones that were 7 euro a pop and they were good
To be fair I've had the pro controller for several years and it has held up really well. Really ergonomic and the vibration's good, plus it has gyro. Perfect for my needs on Switch. I think it was worth what I paid.
Oki :3
Which question but does it have hall sticks?
No the pro controller doesn't have hall effect sticks, but I've not experienced any drift. I did take it apart once to clean the insides however.
I had no end of problems with the joy cons, and have replaced those sticks with hall effect ones. Since doing that I've not had any problems, touch wood!
Oh ok
The D-pad on the Switch Pro Controller is hot garbage. Unless they changed it.
Admittedly I don't use the D-pad all that much - does it not register inputs well? I guess it's pretty important if you're playing a fighting or retro game that require precise inputs. For the games I've played, it hasn't been an issue.
The contacts inside are too big and sensitive and it results in phantom inputs. The DIY fix is to open up the controller and literally cover parts of the input contacts with tape.
