They really got an app so you can prove you got a receipt

Wow. A solid body, D-pad and back buttons, drift eliminated. Plug an OLED into this thing and you’ve got yourself a Switch Lite 2.0.

No mention of gyro or rumble. Doesn’t sub as a dock. No battery.
But they got a collectors app!
Edit: I would like to see what genki or skull co would do with a platform like this.

I was looking for something just like this on Amazon… I’m tempted.

There are 3 issues I see:
1. $60 fro a controller with no batteries/wireless/rail connectors seems expensive. Many of the design choices are all for making it cheaper and not necessarily better. (Not disregarding Hall joysticks, but Retroflag’s recent deck like this is $45 on Amazon with Hall joysticks.)
2. I know they say the USB-C means low latency, but it also means the Switch is never in handheld mode. It means the Switch thinks the controller is just a wired handheld controller. Doesn’t matter for a lot of games, but it means no touch features in Mario Galaxy for instance. Split pad pro style controllers would be better.
3. One of the reasons I hear the Split Pad Pro left gyro and rumble out was battery life. I worry a fully featured USB-C powered controller might drain the battery. (I wonder if they can use more power over USB-C, and that’s one of the reasons they did this instead of joycon style?)

I feel like it’s a bit late in the day to be releasing something like this.

Does it have turbo

Does that mean i can play games with higher resolution while in handheld? Like if it was “docked”?

This looks awesome but pretty late to the game here… I know we’ve all been screaming “switch pro / switch 2” for the last 3 years and nothing has happened but Nintendo must be planning something new soonish (next year or so) … Feel like I’m done buying accessories for this switch and am just holding off til the new one.

The joy con drift is creating new economies.

No USB-C pass-through? No dice.

Skull & Co Neo Grip + Gulikit Hall effect joystick swap i think is my play. Cheaper & dockable while in its grip/case.

My main concern with this is that it says it’s for the Switch & OLED model, which means it’s either going to be really tight on the OLED or really loose on the OG model. Is this a valid concern, or did I just miss something?

This thing must weight a ton! I really don’t like the design personally..

I just bought the Retroflag which is very similar, so I can’t justify this purchase. It does have a back-stand unlike the Retroflag, which is nice. As others hace said, it just seems like a shame that it didn’t come out a little (or multiple years, even) sooner.

What an overly negative comment thread
Yikes
Will this be available in Europe?
