It's peak

how much better is it compared to the original?

They did they feel the need to shorten the right stick? O_o

i will NOT be purchasing a switch 2

>>712741663
Sticks are a lot snappier, they quickly snap back to their original position the moment you let go. Also like how the right stick is shorter now, makes it smoother to go from it to a face button.

>>712741993
>no analog triggers
So it's automatically better than 99% of controllers on the market.

>>712741461 (OP)
Is this worth getting if my old Switch Pro still works? $85 seems a bit much for a slight upgrade, and my Switch is right at my desk so I don't really care about not being able to wake it up with the controller.

the d pad is confirmed to have input problems

>>712741461 (OP)
>only 4 shoulder buttons
It's piss

>>712741461 (OP)
It's nice, I worry about extended use making the texture wear down though.

>>712741461 (OP)
why does it have so much light grey on it when the switch 2 is entirely dark grey with red and blue accents

>>712742675
There's this thing called physical switch which turns your analog triggers into digital. $30 gamesaar pads have it but jewtendo loves to fleece its cattle.

>>712741461 (OP)
>Sticks that drift
>No analog triggers
This shit belongs in the 90s.

>>712741461 (OP)
STOP DOING THIS

>>712741461 (OP)
Yep. Just the different feel to the plastic alone is great. I think it will not get all sticky over time, like my OG switch pro controller got (no idea how, I barely ever used it, maybe from heat or something, or from contact with other plastic controllers I left in the bag)

>>712742786
>Is this worth getting if my old Switch Pro still works?
No, see >>712743792 , the OG will have problems eventually imo. Also you can navigate the controls on the new controller much better, you can clearly know which buttons are + and - because they pop upwards, whilst on the og switch pro they were holed up in the controller. Basically they're coded so that even a blind person can find those two buttons more easily. The new pro 2 plastic overall feels much better on the hand, it has that almost hand grease repelling feel to it, that even if you got some burger grease that didn't wash off with soap the controller will be fine.

>>712743283
Left stick is better for moving up and down.
Right stick is better for moving left and right.
It makes sense. But controllers are used exclusively by gaywads anyway so either way you lose.

>>712743084
And it's absolute shit. If I don't play racing games I do not care if can switch to a useless feature that makes the controller worse.

>>712742851

>>712741461 (OP)
Apparently it doesn't connect to PC?
And no Hall Effect, if those two get resolved next revision it would be the perfectest controller for me.

improved gyro and rumble

>>712741461 (OP)
Whoops, wrong pic

>>712741461 (OP)
After all this time they seriously made another shitty d pad? Un fucking believable

>>712745394
improved how?

>>712744978
Isn't that the same kind of issue the first pro controller had and they fixed later? Mine doesn't have this issue so I can't try (first pro controller, bought 2 years after the console launch).

>>712741461 (OP)
Okay but is the dpad still unusable dogshit
>>712741993
>TMR sticks
A complete irrelevant meme, just like hall effect sticks. Greater accuracy on a fucking thumbstick is not relevant. What matters is if the actual sticks are decent quality. How they're made, how reliable the design is (99% of joysticks ever made fail via losing their mechanical center, how much resistance there is, the linearity of that resistance, etc.
>analog triggers
Analog triggers objectively make the controller worse for the vast majority of games people play.

>>712741461 (OP)
That d-pad is terrible.

>digital triggers
>pc support involves janky workarounds at the moment
Almost perfect, definitely the best first party controller under $100.

>STILL those shitty triggers
Why does Nintendo hate car games?

>>712745651
NTA but this video is pretty good, he tries the joycon and the pro controller:

Because modern forza is gay, and so is modern gran turismo

Yes, and they're retarded for it.

>>712746223
>zoomy thinks there are only two car games
grim

>>712746339
Okay, what else lets me mod (car I like) with engine upgrade/install turbo on it? It doesn't have to be AE86, it could be Honda NSX or Silvia.

>>712745161
It's a new console so I imagine drivers and steam support will come later.

>>712741461 (OP)
not with that dogshit dpad

>>712746132
>>712746223
It's not just car games, triggers can be used in all sorts of scenarios. Say for example, a certain space game /v/ loves to shit on for being "reddit".

>nintendo patents the best dpad design
>doesn't use it ever
fuck this controller and fuck nintendo

>>712741461 (OP)
If I have to choose between this or the Gamecube controller, which should I get?

>>712746743
No man's sky? What game? Don't get me wrong I like racing games but I feel like they're not doing great right now (all filled with microtransactions)

>>712746848
If don't need a good right stick or ZL that often, Gamecube.

>>712741461 (OP)
It better fucking be at that pricepoint.

>>712741461 (OP)
gamesaar cyclone 2 mogs that trash and you can actually use it on pc

>>712741663
Sticks are absolutely fucking silky smooth, among the smoothest sticks I've ever used even compared to the average Gulikit hall effect or TMR stick (joycon 2s also have silky sticks for that matter)
Sticks seem to be VERY slightly shorter than the original Switch Pro's
Player indicator LED is now on the top and not the bottom
D-pad is elevated a bit higher, but feels pretty much the same otherwise
Plus and minus button are also elevated higher instead of being shell flush
GL/GR back buttons are in a perfect spot to be hit by the pads of your middle fingers when holding the controller
Pretty much the same controller otherwise for good or for ill, probably give it a miss if you already have a Switch Pro 1, definitely buy if you're a collector or if you don't already have a Switch Pro
The headphone jack seems to have some latency problems, the actual sound quality is completely crystal clear, I can't discern any difference in sound quality between jacking straight into the Switch 2 and jacking into my controller, but there's a slight delay between what's happening on screen and what you're hearing. This seems to be pretty typical of wireless Bluetooth headsets and other controllers with similar headphone jack features like the Dualsense on PS5

Hot tip: the GameChat C button can be rebound to whatever else you want in the Switch 2's OS, it is not actually a useless button if you don't have NSO

>>712741461 (OP)
find perfect gamepad: hardwired, button with colored letters, not paint, but imbedded plastic, xbox layout.

>>712746880
I was thinking of Outer Wilds since the jet pack and ship thrusters can be finely applied when in space to conserve fuel and for other reasons.

>>712744802
I actually play some racing games on steam with my switch controllers, mainly the Sonic ones, and everything is just fine. I've always been the type to just fully let go of the trigger and then press again when adjusting my angle during a drift so no analogue ain't a big loss for me

>>712747398
fleakazoid's video touched it briefly and mentioned how a game with 3 different 50 cals (new vegas) moved to a game with shared "heavy ammo" for snipers and grenade launchers. When I learn of such design choices, it makes it easy for me to just "pass" on the game. Deus Ex 2 was disliked by many for same reasons

>>712747269
It has an internal rubber ring to prevent the sticks from rubbing the hard plastic edge and wear itself out.

>>712741461 (OP)
is it better than 8bitdo?

Nother one with a shitty d-pad.
I don't genuinely understand this shit. You do not need mechanical switches or anything like that for a good d-pad. What are they doing? You can't tell me the shitty d-pad on the dualsense is the best thing you can get that's not mechanical on a modern first party controller. Fuck right off with that.

>>712747757
depends on your definition of "better", nintendo's using better plastics and its sticks and buttons feel better, sticks moreso than buttons, i think 8bitdo pro 2 wins in actual layout (i like symmetrical better than nintendo/xbox layout) and connectivity + removable, replaceable batteries and having a game boy colorway with a ridged d-pad to match, but nintendo wins in the actual quality of the object, feature-set and edges out in control quality

if 8bitdo can get off its fucking ass and release an 8bitdo pro 3 with everything they've learned from the 8bitdo ultimate controllers i'll be able to make a better comparison

>>712747757
anything is better than 8bitdo lmao

I bought PC/android ultimate 2c or whatever, feels like shit

>>712748332
Literally none of this is true.
>better plastic
NIGGA do you even know what plastic is.
It's just brand new.
Wake me up in a year and tell me how good these knock-offs are after you've worn them thin.
Fuckin retard.

>>712742851
>the d pad is confirmed to have input problems
into the trash it goes.
How come neither sony or nintendo can do fucking dpads anymore

>>712748537
>NIGGA do you even know what plastic is.
do you know what the difference between ABS and PBT plastic is
do you know the difference between blends of PBT plastic
do you know what a "doubleshot" plastic is
i think i know what plastic is but i'm not sure you do

>>712748610
honestly i'm not sure sony ever knew d-pads and the vita was completely by accident. nintendo is fumbling into good d-pads the same way in the sense that if you put a d-pad top piece onto a joycon or joycon 2 you get a big vita d-pad and it's amazing, i love my replacement shell joycon d-pad and once i have the disposable income for myself i'm gonna flop down $10 for that skull & co. button and d-pad cover thing

>>712748642

nta but whatever plastic they used for switch 2 pro controller, it's good plastic imo. I much prefer the plastic on this new controller over the plastic that the old pro controller has.

>>712741461 (OP)
Buy an ad.

>>712748839
i kinda miss the slight transparency of the pro 1 but i also really really like the seamless shell of the pro 2. though i'm also gonna miss how easy shell and button swaps were for the pro 1, pro 2 is gonna be a bitch and a fucking half to do anything like that with, it's not as easy to take apart as the previous gen

>>712748332
My 8bitdo is having drift problems, tried updating the thing but after a while it came back

>>712744978
Holy fuck that's bad, especially for $85.

>>712741993
>>no 1000Hz polling rate
Why do you want that when input frames are only 60hz?

>>712745750
>they fixed later?
They didn't fix it. It's still shit.

>>712744978
trash
nintendo's engineers must be mole people if they've never heard a complaint about the d-pad

What do you even map the back buttons to?

>>712741461 (OP)
I don't like the back buttons

>>712741461 (OP)
This is worth $85 meanwhile i can get a new PS5 controller with the same features and more for less money

>>712751452
Depends on game, usually to L/R with my index fingers on ZL/ZR. Hyrule Warriors I have the back buttons on left and right d-pad buttons because it is SUPER fucking awkward to cycle between items in that game even in the best of circumstances.

>>712751452
if some fast action online game requires some in-organic combination to pull off, then that's what you map it to. In splatoon the whole idea of jumping + pressing the "ultimate" key simultaneously feels "off", so I guess I can just bind the ultimate key from "right stick press" to the back button. Something like that I think

>>712751435
Remember, they recently bragged about how they don't listen to their customers.

>>712751675
>Hyrule Warriors I have the back buttons on left and right d-pad buttons
I have a bunch of hours on that game and I've never once thought of doing that. I always just default to the bow and leave it at that. My back buttons are always on the stick clicks

>>712751805
I usually don't bother with anything but the bow too but I hookshot a lot with Fiery Aerolfos enemies to get them the fuck out of the air. Flat-out don't bother with Moblins requiring bombs because they don't give you enough time to even hammer that weakness compared to every other officer with an item weakness, usually by the time I have bombs out they're already spinning, and it's so easy to sidestep out of the way it's not worth it to actually engage with them "correctly."

>>712741461 (OP)
It's decent but I still prefer the PS5 controller. The Pro is overpriced for what you get but Nintendo gets away with it because the included joycon controller is absolute dogshit that feels like it'll snap at any moment. If they just threw a pro controller in the box with the console like every other company does I'd have less of a gripe with it.

Is it good for fighting games?

>>712750701
I literally have a pro controller with a fixed d-pad in my hands right now and I confirm it doesn't have the unwanted input issues the first ones had. Seethe, cope and dialate.

>>712753168
bought second hand?

>>>can't even replace the sticks since they're proprietary
lmfao
https://youtu.be/3kCWT5fnwf0?si=1v5J5aHXbm9umr-n&t=945

>>712755467
No, it was new.

>>712755637
The sticks apparently have some drift resistance baked in (this thread says there's a rubber ring to reduce or negate physical wear on the stick internals) so I'm not sure I'd even *want* to replace them.

>>712755817
Yeah the video brings up the internal gate, the issue is that the stick designs are so different from other sticks that there are no third party alternatives available for replacements.

>>712755637
>not compatible with PC
Seriously?

the sticks look nice, anyone know how they feel?

>>712756082
Switch Pro 2 reports as an HID device but there aren't any drivers. Standard new controller-that-doesn't-use-Xinput stuff.
>>712756175
Sticks feel fucking amazing, they fixed the squeaky stick problems from Pro 1 by lubing the shit out of it.

>>712756082
PC is for KB+M
