It's not a matter of if.. but when.. you'll have to replace it. The Nintendo Seal of Quality used to mean something Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Sauce 2,727 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Just don't get a PowerA controller. Those things are trash. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tears of the Cows 1,206 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I haven’t had any drift issues luckily enough. Wouldn’t even know it existed If I didn’t browse SW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) I got a 8BITDO controller whenever I wanted to play classic games and arcade games on the Switch. Specifically this one: I think its compatible with both iOS and Android, along with Switch. The trick is that you have to press a series of buttons in order to do bluetooth signal for specific devices, and a different series of buttons in order to do connect via bluetooth on Switch, and once you do that, I think you have to press the power button on a certain of times so that it knows to power on as a Switch controller, or as an Android controller. The top should buttons are...........okay. The problem is that they made the top shoulder buttons be flush with that round design, so there's plastic getting in the way of your finger. And the top button feels a little too stiff and clicky, which isn't how the original SNES controller felt. Maybe this version might work better: Edited October 14, 2019 by jehurey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're just going to fuck up again. What's the point? Nintendo isn't actually fixing the problem.. as evidenced by their Joycon lite. If you spend $30 on some cheap shit.. you'll just waste your money. Just spend $60 on the Pro controller, and ditch the shitty joycons. You might have the odd d-pad fuck up with the pro controller.. but you wont have drifting analog issues. Edited October 15, 2019 by Remij_ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Xbox controller would probably be the most like minded controller to the Pro. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
