To be fair, those are the worst controllers ever paired with a game console. My hands are smaller than this, but they still hate the controls.

[-] jopepa@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I’ve heard that a lot but I have fairly large hands myself and really like the feel of them. I even have a set of joycons paired to my pc for shortcuts while I work with a stylus. Just don’t get how people have so much trouble with them.

Edit: I guess my thumbs have a stutter, and there’s no sense in a free advert for a service I wish had better alternatives.

I like them when they're off the switch but not when they're on it.

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Yes. Super comfortable just sitting holding the controllers, but my hands ache if I use them attached to the switch.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Agreed. The triggers are far too small. The buttons are not in intuitive places and they are not very responsive. I try and play for Zelda, but wish I could pair a PS5 controller.

wish I could pair a PS5 controller.

You can! I use a Mayflash Magic-NS for this. I got a few and plugged them into a USB hub on my dock and my friends have been able to use their own comfortable controllers they use for their pc games on my switch. been a big hit for smash bros. ps4/ps5 controllers support gyro inputs fine too. you can even configure it to switch button orders/layouts and stuff for you so you don't get xbox/nintendo xyab/yxba glyph/button conflicts, if you need. big fan of them overall. they work on other systems and controllers too, you can pair joycons to your PC with it (shows up as Xbox controller), they're like universal "controller language" translators.

Oh this is entirely too much work lol I PC game 99 percent of the time. The Switch is just for Zelda. But thanks for the info!

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Get an 8bitdo pro 2 controller. They have Xbox and PS styles. Good price, durable, easily rechargeable. And it also works with PCs.

Also: no drift.

Also: no drift.

I really hate how Nintendo doubled down on saying drift wasn't a real problem with their original joycons. Two out of two original left joycons got severe drift after little use. To make matters worse, the tiny L/R buttons when they're unattached stopped working, so no more Super Mario Party without some cumbersome button remapping.

I like using the Switch, but I can’t use it for longer than an hour due to the Joy-Con causing cramps. I’m definitely going to replace them with a third party controller.

[-] joenforcer@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

I don't think they're problematic, but as a slightly above average height American male, I feel like my hands skew towards the smaller side of average which makes a difference. I have no problem with the joycons attached to the console, and I'm also a big fan of the pro controller. A friend of mine who is notably much taller bought me pro-like third party joycons for Christmas and they hurt my hands to use in contrast to the OG that don't bother me at all.
