Hardware Controller look very uncomfortable

[Veho]

None of the systems you speak of are uncomfortable. It's just you.

Me and enough other people to make these things a viable product:

(among others).

They are uncomfortable and take a while to get used to.

I played REmake and Zero with Wii controller and nunchuk, it was better feeling than GC controller for me, and GC controller is more comfy than dual shock 3 from Sony. Looks can deceive you, they do all the testing after all so you have to try it and see. 3DS (old) is also OK, although it looks it could cramp your hands easily.

People have different hands. What feels comfortable for them may not feel comfortable for you. For me the most comfortable controller has to be the Wii U Pro controller. It's light and every button is positioned naturally. I hope the Switch supports it.

Classic Controller is confirmed since well... The trailer.

yes the pro controller for the switch looks so sleek.

i will want one.

I guess wiiubricker is correct but than again it seems i was right with the controller beeing Bad

Before I get to shitting on the Joy-Con, the Switch controllers all use digital triggers so GameCube games which use analogue triggers will have to be reprogrammed to use digital triggers. Now, what's so bad about the Joy-Con controllers? The D-PAD if you can call it that is absolutely terrible, tiny and uncomfortable, and so are the buttons and shoulder buttons / triggers so much so that I waited specifically to play Zelda with the Pro Controller which is absolutely a masterpiece of a controller!

To get into more depth about why the Joy-Cons suck so bad, the analogue stick is very stiff and hardly moves so you're left without the liberty of an actual proper controller's analogue sticks.

The Switch Pro Controller reminded me a lot of the Xbox One Controller and I am very pleased with it. I have nothing against it (okay, it's a bummer it doesn't have analogue triggers but not a deal-breaker), instead, I wish they'd bundle it with Switch consoles as it's the one to go controller to use with the Switch.

The Pro Controller is also partly transparent so you can see the hardware of it. Nintendo really went the extra mile with this controller!

 

[Bladexdsl]

they went the extra mile alright including the price!

Yeah, that's the only negative aspect of the Pro Controller but eventually there'll be deals for it.

a 3DS/DSi/DS Lite/DS/GBA SP/PSP/Vita without controller grip is uncomfortable.
I fully agree.

I wonder why noone has made a thread about it yet ...
For me it looks like the Controller will be VERY uncomfortable.

Even when it is stuck together it looks kind of small and weirdly shaped but if you take them off and have this thing in your hand which looks like you have to search for it with a microscope (yeah I know I am overdoing it a little) I doub't it feels good to have those in your hand and try to controll the game with it.

Like if you sweat a little and it slips around in your hand you would have more work not letting it fall out of your hand than anything else ...

I'd probably only buy the Switch if there are classic controller or I could test the controller and see for myself that it is not half as bad as I assume it to be

How do you know ? Many people experienced it over there said that it is very comfortable because they felt it. You need to wait until you feel it and give your opinion again.

I thought the Joy-Cons with the controller handle would be better but no, it is what it is. You get what you pay for and it's not great, well, not at least for gamers who're used to actual good gaming controllers.

Id even prefer this sega saturn one

Over this abomination below

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Are the Joy-Cons totally required for the Switch to function properly or can I use the Pro Controller only?

If the latter, then I could sell the Joy-Cons and use that for the Pro Controller.

Joycon actually looks cool to me.

Well, that's like seeing and playing. Completely different.

Anyway don't really care what the joycons feel like, i won't be using them. Hopefully Pro Controller support is system wide.

Speak for yourself. The Gameboy SP was incredibly uncomfortable and the original 3DS was as well in my experience.

If you do, I'd be interested in buying them for a price lower than retail

I'm pissed that they're so expensive, but they do look good for me as a semi-casual player

I agree they look wonderful minitatures but the usability is the issue here. Let's say you bought it and then you'd be like "Oh god, why did I buy them?!".

The joycon grip is surprisingly comfortable but smaller in size than I expected. The buttons are also quite small.

However in my 20 mins playing BOTW I adjusted fast and didn't really think about it after the first 5 mins.

The only thing I hated about the Switch controllers (minus the Pro) is the lack of a dpad. I understand the reasoning but it will make VC and 2D titles a nightmare.

Nintendo always makes their controllers with Japanese people in mind and do the testing with Japanese people hence why people with very small hands like the controllers but the majority who doesn't have super tiny hands don't like them.
