Feedback Switch 1 Pro Controller Vs. Switch 2 Pro Controller

Before I had a NS2 Pro Controller I thought it'd be the same as the Switch 1, but wow it's a huge upgrade and we'll worth owning one. The Switch 1 Pro Controller was good for its time and as a controller it still is, however when you compare it to its successor that's when it falls short.

Joy -Cons & Pro Controller, that's pretty much what I'll use. No need to have excess of controllers.

A genuinely sensational controller. Big recommend on Gulikit’s Goku 2 as well. Pretty cheap dongle that lets you use the Switch 2 Pro wirelessly on PC. Just shows as a Switch 1 Pro Controller so plays nicely with gyro etc on emulators.

It's not the best D-pad ever, but it's good enough, I think. Definitely an improvement. You can play 2D games without being constantly plagued by ghost inputs, unlike the Switch 1 Pro Controller.

The analog sticks are just magical. They're so buttery smooth.

I just use switch 2 joycons on PC like I do with Switch 1 Pro controller. They work fine under bluetooth and even wired.
But you need additional layer to PC recognize them (Switch 2 ProCon wired works with Steam without additional apps), somewhat like Ds4windows https://github.com/TommyWabg/Switch2Connect

I own both controllers, I was an early adopter of both and I still stand by my original thoughts that the Pro Controller 2 is probably the nicest controller I've ever owned..... I use it almost daily for a blast of SMM2 and it's just so comfortable and luxurious in the hands

The d-pad is still a dud.

All they had to do was use the Wii U's d-pad design, yet they didn't.

Nothing will ever match the Wiimote, with the ability to smack your little brother in the back of the head with in in Wii Sports and pretend it was an accident. But sure, the newish Switch 2 Pro controller is almost as good as the average DualShock or Xbox controller.
