Battery life – The Switch Pro controller has excellent battery life. It lasts up to 40 hours, which is great, and it charges via a USB port. We wanted to see if the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller has worse latency than the standard Joy-Cons, so we used a 240fps camera to see if there’s a noticeable difference.

Motion controls and rumble/vibration are put through their paces when playing supported games that implement them effectively, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Monster Hunter Rise, with both of those titles also used to test Amiibo functionality. Headset compatibility is tested by plugging one into the controller via the 3.5mm port and monitoring the stability of the audio connection over the course of an extended play session. We were big fans of the original HORI Split Pad Pro but feel the new Compact model is even better. Like the Pro version, the Split Pad Compact delivers something akin to a full-sized controller experience while using the Switch in handheld mode. The officially licensed pads slot into your console in place of Joy-Cons and are smaller and lighter than those of the Pro model, meaning people with smaller hands will find them a lot easier to use.

Still, that’s a price worth paying for a feature-rich Switch controller that’s among the easiest to grip and use on the market. However, that there is an obvious reason for the pad’s low weight is reassuring. The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller’s plastics are not actually flimsy, and there’s no creaking from torsion as you wrench the pad around in your hands. Price – although the Switch Pro is great, the most significant difference is that the Joy-Cons come with the console. So, if you want to use the Switch Pro controller, you’ll have to buy it separately. And since they are similar in price, you would basically get two Joy-Cons for the price of one Switch Pro. This is why many people decide to buy an extra set of Joy-Cons or not buy anything at all.

Handheld experience – Joy-Cons offer a great handheld experience, since they are designed to connect to your console physically. Available in two colourways, one resembling the original Game Boy (shown above) and the other the Super Nintendo, the SN30 Pro is a welcome trip down memory lane for those as enthusiastic about gaming now as they were in the 80s and 90s. One cool thing you can do with Switch controllers is to connect them to your PC. However, the Joy-Cons act as two separate controllers unless you use a third party app that combines them. As for the Pro Controller, it works right out of the box. Other brands of Switch-compatible gamepads, such as PowerA or Hori’s Horipad, should work out of the box too. Regardless, the process is very easy on Windows and Mac, whether you go wireless or wired. Joy-Con ControllersThe Power A controllers are excellent for games that don't need rumble. I'll add this one to my collection.

A responsive two-pedal set for the break and gas round out this kit, ensuring a much more immersive gaming experience than a traditional controller.

Once synced, programs like JoytoKey or BetterJoy allow the Joy-Cons to work with your computer. Do Nintendo Switch Controllers Drift? The controller is designed with Super Smash Bros fans in mind. The GameCube was home to one of the best entries in the series – Super Smash Bros Melee – and the five colourways available pay homage to some of the series’ leading characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Zelda and Pikachu.The Switch Pro easily connects to PC via a wired connection. Going wireless requires jumping through a few hoops, but it’s a fairly painless process. You just need to pair the pad using Bluetooth. Your device should recognize the controller, and then you can set it up in Steam. With Steam, all the button mapping will be done for you, as it’s recognized as an Xbox controller. However, if you're playing games outside of Steam, you'll need the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter or special programs to make the Switch Pro Controller act like an Xbox gamepad. Retro games: Players of classic games are generally looking for controllers that feel as close to the originals as possible – if not just re-releases of those very controllers. Since those are extremely difficult to come by, we recommend the 8BitDo Pro 2 for most people playing retro games on Switch. Can You Use Switch Controllers on a PC? Press and hold the Sync button on your controller until the lights start flashing, it’s between the SR and SL buttons.

Design – The best feature of Joy-Cons is their design. You get two controllers that can work together as one. So, if you enjoy playing multiplayer games or hosting game nights with your friends, Joy-Cons will be your go-to option. You have to use AA batteries, there’s no rumble. And while latency is fine on Switch, the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller does not work well if you try to use it with your phone instead, in our experience. Sadly, there currently aren’t any third-party Switch controllers that support HD Rumble, although there are a number that offer standard rumble functionality. This is less precise and nuanced than HD Rumble but still provides enjoyable vibrations when gaming. For example, tapping a compatible Legend of Zelda amiibo on your controller while playing Breath of the Wild will net you special chests and other helpful items. Using the same amiibo while playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim gives you a chance of snagging Zelda-themed gear for use in Skyrim. Better control – Due to its design, the Switch Pro will comfortably sit in your hands, therefore allowing you to have better control over your game. So, if you enjoy playing intense single-player games, this might be an excellent option for you.
