Hey, is it normal to play with this type of controller?

Listen, I've always played this game with a Switch Pro controller, but I never felt comfortable making combos and going into online battles, and then out of simple curiosity I connected my Gamecube controller And wow! It's incredibly comfortable to play with this. (Of course, you'll have to configur

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller appreciation post.

I bought it over a month ago and I’ve hardly used the joycons since. Having used the Xbox Series controller and the PS5 controller, this is very much my favorite controller in terms of grip and buttons and controls.

PSA. With the release of the xeno controller nintendo have redesigned the pro controller dpad.

Some people have mentioned here that the dpad on the xeno controller feels different to older pro controllers, so I opened up my xeno controller and an older one to take a look.

I found that nintendo have infact redesigned the dpad a little in the xeno controller.

The first difference, which I ho

Recently bought a Limited Edition Smash Bros Switch Pro controller from eBay, for retail price £59.99. Seller had very good reviews and all f

The Switch Pro Controller might just become my favorite all-time controller.

I was super hesitant about picking up a Pro Controller for my Switch after I saw the price point. IMO it should be priced a lot lower that is my biggest complaint about it. That being said. This is maybe the most ergonomic controller I've ever bought/held.

If fells super natural. Really smooth yet

Did I just buy a fake pro controller?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/zMznQycr7uR2rPdh9 link with images

To preface, I'm not sure if this belongs on this sub but I'm unsure where else I can post.

Bought a switch pro controller a few days ago off of Souq.com for a sufficient price (original model for around 32 usd) and it just arrived. Howev

Beware of fake Nintendo (brand) Switch Pro Controllers on Amazon and eBay

I first purchased one from eBay that claimed to be official. The packaging looked identical to my other real controller bought back in January 2018, but the plastic felt funny, the buttons were suspicious, the rumble was not the same and the controller was not able to be updated by my Switch. I init

Best controller for docked?

So far I’ve been using my Switch Pro Controller, but the lack of analogue triggers and the poor d-pad are a bit of an issue for me.

What controllers do you recommend? I’m thinking of an Xbox Series controller but I’m wondering if the extra cost of the PS5 DualSense controller is worth it for the tr

Switch Pro button layout is so messed up on PC

Button layouts are so messed up on PC when using a Switch Pro controller.

The automatic layout (Type 1) works fine until you get into battles.

Game shows you need to press Y at the top, but Y is on the left. Opposite for X. Shows A at the bottom but it's on the right. Opposite for B.

This is real

Smash bros switch pro controller

Almost certain I bought a counterfeit switch pro controller. I'd like verification if anyone can though. I bought it on eBay for cheap, and I'm gonna try to get my money back. The d-pad feels like one single button, and the home, capture, +, and - buttons are all more loud and clicky than a usual on
