it's not compatible with the only game I own.
I only play with the pro controller, even in tabletop.
How long have you been playing only 1-2 Switch?
snipperclips or whateve that game is called.
I mean, ergonomically, it's no Wii U Pro Controller.
But it does have gyro.
So it's close enough.
It arrived:
Shit looks super good in neon green & pink. Huge props to the translucent effect.
How does it feel? GODLY.
One thing I'll note is that while everyone commends the battery life on the pro controller - and rightfully so - it's still something you're going to have to be more mindful of, because you're eventually gonna have to plug it into something to charge it. The joy-cons slide effortlessly into the console itself to charge (or in my case, a charging dock since I have more than one pair of joy-cons) and seem far more convenient to me in that sense. Further to that, if you own 2 pairs of joy-cons, you can have 1 pair always connected to the Switch so that if batteries run out, it's as simple as getting up and swapping them out. You're back up and running in seconds, and you never have to put any thought into charging outside of that.
Not really sure what you're trying to say here... the joycons have to be slid into the system to charge and cannot be used for hours. The Pro controller just has to have a USB plugged in and then it not only charges but gives a wired mode with less latency and no battery loss at all... how is plugging a USB cable in a bigger hassle than sliding the joycons in and out of the system, or juggling two sets of joycons? If you keep the cable plugged into the dock, all you have to do is just put the other end in the controller once every 40 hours. Charging the joycons is way less convenient than that.
Is the d-pad sorted yet?
snipperclips or whateve that game is called.
seems like a ymmv thing judging from this thread. some have bad dpads some don't. mine's fine and I've done the test in the settings menu.
I have tested 12 controllers including two of the newer splatoon ones. I highly doubt anyone has a controller that doesn't have the d-pad issue. It's a design flaw.
It is extremely apparent when playing tetris.
ITs a great controller, but tbh I've used split joycon about 10X as much. I think I ended up using the pro once or twice. Split joycon is the best way to play splatoon2, and even zelda IMO
I have tested 12 controllers including two of the newer splatoon ones. Nintendo sent me six replacements and I also replaced numerous controllers in store. I highly doubt anyone has a controller that doesn't have the d-pad issue. It's a design flaw.
It is extremely apparent when playing tetris. I didn't get a wide range of splatoon controllers so I can't say for sure but the two I bought and returned exhibited the same issue.
Had 2 bad and have a good one now, they definitely aren't all bad

I have tested my Pro controller that I've bought with the Switch in the settings input test and had no issues, did now the same with my new Splatoon edition and no issues either.
Tetris I only played the demo but I had no issues either (can't remember if I've ever used Pro in that game though).
So what are you saying here? That the input test is lying? That Tetris somehow is more dependent on the quality of the d-pad than the input test? Because to me it seems pretty clear that some Pro controllers (the two that I own at least) don't have defective d-pad at all.
