my WiiU pro controller feels awesome ^^

It hurts my fingers to change arrows with the bow drawn, so no. Shoulder buttons are uncomfortable to use.

You don't have to hold the bow button when you want to switch arrows. One tip is fine, then change like you change weapons.



I'm not planning on buying pro controller after trying the grips. It's really light and comfortable. . I can see people with big hands having troubles with it though.

Ah, thanks. I'm still getting confused with the context senitive d-pad. But makes sense, tap attack button, it switches weapons. Tap aim button, it switches bows and arrows. It took me a while to figure out how to cancel an arrow too, kept wasting them. Can you switch shields without using the menu too?

You're welcome ^^

Don't know about the shields. If yes then it means that I haven't figured that one out, too :D



It's not perfect but it definitely gets the job done. Super light too, which is nice. Gyro aiming in Zelda is sweet, also.



It's comfortable enough for it's size, but I definitely wouldn't call it ideal. I imagine it would be too small to use as a main controller option for people with above average/larger sized hands.

Did anyone buy the $30 Joy-con Charging grip?

I'm reading about it at another place and apparently I completely misunderstood what it did.

I thought it was a charging bank. You charge it, then when your joycons are running low you use it to "recharge" the joycons.

Apparently all it is is a regular grip with a USB-C built in to charge the joycons when you plug it in.

I bought it but I was under the impression that that's all it was, just a grip with a USB-C port on it.



It's ok for me, but I'll eventually buy a Pro Controller so that the joycons are always on the console, ready to be used on the go when needed
