Those official controllers are so fucking fragile. Triggers go bad, battery won’t hold a charge, rubber on the thumbsticks wears out. And you get to pay a premium for them, too! But hey, if you’re a scummy bastard who gets an off brand replacement your PS4 nags you about having unofficial hardware.
The one and only time I ever commented on a Kotaku article was back when Mad Catz was trying to turn around their reputation and produce high end controllers for the fighting game community. Kotaku had a puff piece about how great these new controllers were. I asked how much they were paid for the advertisement. They banned me.
That's just sad. The first-party Pro controllers for the Switch are easily the most comfortable controllers I've ever held, and they're extremely well built.
I never use the joy cons so never ran into the "drift" issue.
Wow, I have the complete opposite opinion of the Switch Pro controller.
Other then its good battery life, it feels cheap, the buttons are bad, D-pad is atrocious.
Joy Cons are worse though just because of their tiny size, I just can't use them for more then like 30 mins without cramps.
Anybody tried the Demo yet?
I only have a ps4 with a broken controller, if I had a ps5 I would try it.

I bought a third-party Xbox controller for my PC, and it was surprisingly not shit. Not like the Mad Catz controllers of old.
