For those of us who have worked on SNES and GameCube controllers, we know that these are pretty simple to get into and maintain. However, in the trend of making modern game controllers more complex…
The good news is you can still use the switch 1 pro controller with the switch 2. I actually ordered one for the switch 2 and promptly returned it when I found out (thankfully before opening that, though unfortunately after I’d already opened a set of switch 2 JoyCons). You can also use joycons from switch 1, and even my licensed wired controllers work too. That was an awesome move by Nintendo that saved me a couple hundred dollars, so imo it helps justify the higher price point of the new console. You can get a switch 1 pro controller pre-owned on eBay for like 25 bucks, and new for like $40. No reason to buy the new one imo.

The only drawback here is that the og pro controller will not turn on the Switch 2 using the home button.
I hadn’t noticed that, but as far as grievances go, that’s pretty minor. Everything else works great.
Yeah, I get that it’s a small one, but it’s pretty annoying nonetheless.
