"that's a lot less than an official Switch Pro Controller (£60, £65 for one with a splatoon theme), but naturally with the downsides that these are wired and also lack HD Rumble"

Rumbling is a gimmick and the fewer batteries in my life, assuming this wire is long enough for the average run, the better.

Equally Argos (popular UK high street/catalogue seller) has them in stock down town now for £30

Never quite got why people get excited about minor colour and laser doodled things but hey. Cheaper controllers is nice, though I kind of like it when it is £15 new or £5-10 second hand.

I hope they have a better D-PAD.

If it's wired so it can't be connected while not in the dock, right?
Like see, the lack of HD rumble is fine.. but if I can't play with it on the go that's a major downside imo

I don't know what the correct specs are. "...a 10 foot removable USB cable..", "...naturally with the downsides that these are wired..." from a comment I quoted on NL. HD rumble is definitely not included.

I hope they have a better D-PAD.

It's looking like a decent D-pad, but as always, will it be mushy or will it be solid? I think either way, that paint will be a problem, but since it looks like a normal D-pad, it can probably get swapped with a better D-pad.

That's a good point. Unless the dock has a USB C connector and I don't remember? Alternatively, they could package an adapter.

Though I'm sure they only intended this to be used in docked mode.

I think you need a converter, but I'm unsure. Still, I have a belief (80%) the 10' cable is detachable, so the next big question, does it have a long battery life.

Some decent prices...if you need them.

you can use a usb to usb c adapter, heck, this works for the lan adapter even

So I can't chrage it while using this pro controller. Let's say for example I'm in a LAN competition and I need to charge my Switch. I can't use this pro controller.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Only wired though, which is unfortunate. They look really comfortable and appealing. Might actually get one.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Those look pretty good, especially the Mario one.
These actually look like 1st party controllers.
But I already got a Splatoon 2 Pro Controller so I'll stick with that.

 

[duffmmann]

Wired, no gyro, no amiibo scanning, no HD-rumble. Its a pass from me. They look nice though, not denying that.

alright, why in the hell would you be doing a lan competition with a pro controller in handheld mode in the first place, theirs spliters but the down side is you even going to that competition at all, there are 3 usb ports on the switch so that is not an issue there
and a major competition would likely have docks there for each set of currently playing players, when your up, dock it, when your out take ya shit outa there

I recommend just getting the Magic NS adapter if you already have a playstation or xbox one.
