Build quality is not great on DS4, the Xbox One controller is a lot better in term on materials used and quality, the Wii Pro controller is not bad either. The only thing i am going to miss is the headphones input in th Switch pro.

Sweet baby. Considering it's got HD rumble and gyro I'll take it not being as good as the Wii U Pros battery. 40 is fantastic
The best in a LONG time.
To echo my earlier comment I wonder if this dpad along with the bigger face buttons is for the fighter crowd.

I'm annoyed at how expensive this is here in Ireland but I have to get it.

HD rumble and Gyro.

All DS4s i held so far were either squeaking, bending, had rattling touch pads and/or the rubber falling off the analogue sticks.
I love the DS4 ergonomics, but the build quality is absolute shite.
I'm not sure. I can definitely tell you that nothing in the last two generations has beaten it, so that really only leaves the Wavebird which I haven't had any experience with. It's definitely a beast though.

Wow, that's a lot. Does this mean rumble is gonna be shit like the Wii U pro controller? That lasted forever but rumble is weak.

They say it has the same HD rubble as the joycons so it should be great.
Especially if you think about the tech in the controller, gyro, NC, HD-Rumble
And NC for amiibos
Never used a Dualshock 4 or Xbone controller I assume??

I always found the rumble in the WiiU Pro Controller just fine. But maybe I just appreciate it because W101 on the Gamepad with rumble is impossible. It's so unbelievably loud!
Not counting the IR camera, it packs the same tech as the joy-cons. So NFC, motion/gyro and HD rumble. The only thing really missing is a headphone jack.
Not you who quoted, but yes I own one and I've used one. Dualshock 4 has garbage tier build quality and I strongly prefer the 360 controller over it (garbage tier d-pad not included). However the guy was specifically talking about the battery life.

Lucky for you guys I'm far too classy to make a joke about having 40 hours worth of games to play 
He's talking about battery life...

Considering both feature exactly the same battery and the Wii U Pro Controller lasted twice as long, I wouldn't assume so.

Stupid useless Eyetoy light stays on.
EDIT: I just realized you could use the Wii U's Gamepad larger battery to increase the battery life of the Switch Pro Controller even greater.
I've started using my controller on my PS4 Pro always with a 3 meter long micro USB cable.
It has potential to be a great PC controller. The battery life is much better than the DS4 and it has better tech than the Xbox One controller like gyro.
That's quite an assumption!!

Excellent.
Would it fit?
I doubt it'll beat the Xbox Elite controller which is what I'm currently using. The lack of analog triggers is also quite a major issue, you can count driving games out without those.

that doesn't seriously affect the ds4's battery.
digital triggers kills that stone dead for me.
I don't think you can even replace the battery in the Switch Pro controller.
Its indeed a Type-C port on the controller.
On the Wii U Pro Controller you could, but here it really looks as if you cannot.
Yes, Nintendo confirmed this already.

Wouldn't be surprised if it used wired when connected as there is a wired only third party pad in existence
All Type-C cables are USB 3.1, as that's the version that adds C support to the spec.
I think he's asking about the wattage that the cable can support.
Thank goodness for not having to deal with the terrible Micro USB port.

But you won't hear any of the usual suspects that normally yell about power disparity and "lol nintendo" acknowledge it.

Thank God.
I just use the DS4 plugged in now because it's so bad.

I haven't tried one yet, but the buttons look huge to me (in a good way).
Sorry! Posted very quickly, the buttons felt small (especially triggers and bumpers) on the regular Joy-Cons, which conversely feel extremely high quality in terms of build. Got mixed up
Sure, but in the context of using it as a PC controller I doubt it will do much since the game probably has to have built in support.

I'll bet its only 2.5 feet though.
Probably.

I'm hoping this gets PC support. It'll be great for fighting games due to the d-pad and digital triggers, like the Wii U Pro before it.

It's just a shame it's got digital triggers and is only available in grey-ish black.
I'd love one in white or red. Until then, I'll try to make due with the Joy-con grip.
