| Shatts said: The joycons don't have the best reputation, and for good reasons. It drifts, it's small for many, lacks the D-pad and so on. But the pro controller exists for those type of people. I think the joycons are fantastic for casual experience. There are many pros, such as being able to share them with friends and family easily wherever I go, but the best feature is being able to play with your arms apart from each other. This is something unique to the joycons. You can't relax your arms with the pro controller, even playing on PC or a mobile device your arms are stuck in one place. But with the joycons you can move freely. The analog stick could definitely see improvements and maybe a better grip, but I hope Nintendo keeps the concept for their next hardware. However, I've heard rumors that they are completely changing the controllers again so who knows. |
The joy cons also effect the handheld experience. The buttons and analogs are too small and everything feels like huge downgrade compared to a pro or current gen controller playing in handheld. Also joycons are what come with the switch you need to shell out another 70$ for a pro if you wanna play docked and have a good experience. For people like that joycons are a huge inconvenience.
