From a comfort perspective (I haven't touched any other current gen controllers), I would agree Switch Pro from a comfort level compared against last gen controllers ad older feels the nicest in hand.

However they all have their cons and pros and sadly no one has the perfect controller.

I may get a lot of hate for this, but I actually like how the xbox controllers use batteries you can pull out. Hopefully this wasn't removed from their latest console. It means no matter how old your controller is, batteries are easily replaceable without the need to unscrew things.

I hate how the Nintendo triggers are still digital on or off mode. I hate how there is no weight to pressing the triggers either.

i hope that their next gen console, evolves on that and any pro style controller I Hope they adopt the best parts of the others to make the ultimate controller. It's 2023, time to move with the times when it comes to triggers.

I always buy an extra controller, to spread the wear and to always have one charging and ready when the other runs out. So far I've had zero controllers outlast the battery inside them :/ Well only the ones you buy separate. The 360 and Wii mote recharcheable packs both failed before the controllers. Which is more praise to their build quality then a problem with the battery packs. Nowadays controllers don't seem to last more than a few years before stick drift or something else fails. Rechargeable batteries don't last either. I now have a big selection of rechargeables that all deplete / charge at a different rate.

Anyway the pro controller wouldn't be any good for racing, analog triggers are very much needed. Yet resistive triggers are a waste, just interfere with throttle / brake control. (I turned that off in GT7 for braking, on low for throttle as it does give some valuable information)
Dualsense D-pad is underwhelming and not comfortable to reach, little too bulky.
XBox controller is very heavy, not comfortable for long periods.

The pro controller is perfect for TotK, light weight, good size fit, lasts long. And no stick drift so far /knock on wood.
