So. I have 2 I hate.
I had this old gamesube one for the switch. It was a wired one by powerA. Buttons would get jammed, accidentally broke the stick by leaving it in a bad position overnight (my bad) the cover of the cstick randomly slid off (had to glue it) and the while thing was hollow.
Also, I have a keapster explorer and the dpad is awful. Sometimes it jams to the left but its just a plain bad dpad, no physical feedback at all
Probably that first NES controller… Those corners were hell on the palms.
Hot take: Nintendo Switch Joycons. They’re a nice and clever concept but in reality they’re bad.
Too small even for casual games. The Wiimote was much better at it.
Very expensive at 80 € per set. Yes, you get two of them but in most games outside of Mario Kart you also need both. And even then they’re fine at best.
4 out of 4 of my controllers got stick drift. Nintendo had to be sued into repairing them.
On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.
My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.
Which one? I’d love a controller that works for PC that I can split apart like joycons
It’s a conventional GameSir controller that has a Switch mode among others. The split design of the Joycons rarely plays out, most of the time it makes the controllers unnecessarily complex and thus expensive IMHO.
Sooo you can’t play with your hands in different locations like you said?
You mean both hands have to grip one controller opposed to having a Joycon in each hand? That split-design can be an advantage, but IMHO doesn’t cancel out the shortcomings of the Joycons. I find them still too small and not grippy at all.
Here’s the comment chain as a reminder.
OP:

You literally replied:

So can you play with your hands in completely different locations with your “conventional GameSir controller” or not?
If not, why did you say that you could?
I remember trying a Terminator joystick at a friend’s house on his C64. That was a very bad controller.
The U-Force
Got one for $10 at a yardsale as a kid and that $10 was 200% too much, they should have given me $10 to take it off their hands and I still would have dumped it in a dumpster afterwards.
To kid you:
My condolences
