The Nintendo Switch Pro controller features everything you'll need to take your game to the next level on the Nintendo Switch.
A new third-party 'Pro Controller' from accessories company GuliKit is aiming high, promising no analogue stick drifting thanks to its 'Electromagnetic Stick' technology. Update: Joy-Con design may soon follow
hmm... if that aint an Xbox one rip off, I don't know what is. If the sticks never drift then both Sony and MS need to get in on that action.
I have a Pro controller and have never had drift issues with it. My joycons are another story.... both sets of mine have drift on the right joycon and it got so irritating that I had to get a Nintendo charging stand and play with pro controller undocked with certain games like Xenoblade Chronicles.
I've never had a problem with any of my controllers. 4 dualshocks for my PS4 (one did have a stuck trigger, but that's different). 3 Dualsense for my PS5. 4 sets of Joycons and 2 pro controllers for my Switch. My Valve Index and Steam Deck both came through just fine as well.
Cool story, bro, I guess that makes you better than all the other people who have been affected, huh?
@SurgicalMenace - so one person can share their personal experience with their controllers but I can't? Elitism at its finest. Just showing the other side of the coin. Not everyone experiences stick drift.
I have a gulikit controller. It's pretty cheap and it does well for its price. I would still recommend the 8bitdo controller over this as a back up controller though.

While the Switch and Switch OLED are amazing right out of the box, there are a few Nintendo Switch Accessories that can enhance your experience in some useful and sometimes unique ways."
It appears that the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has gotten a permanent price drop on the giant shopping site, Amazon.com. But will this price drop apply across the board? We will have to wait and see.

Judging from your comment history I’d guess you don’t even have a switch. And also you don’t like ANYTHING so I mean, why shit on stuff for no reason?
The controllers battery is top of the game for the big 3 controllers. I usually charge it because I have a hard time believing it’s still that full.
And only the PS controllers have a touch pad. So it’s not like that’s standard functionality. Lastly it’s a 4 year old controller. No one was doing adaptive triggers at that time.
It really sounds like you just want to shit on Nintendo.
I paid $80 for the Switch pro controller at launch and remember feeling ripped off when realizing how basic the controller is when compared to the Xbox One and PS4 controllers, wich only cost $60 at regular price.
Damn. It doesn't even have a headphone jack.
Thank goodness I bought it on sale 2 weeks ago for the same price. I would have been pissed since I've been holding off on gettin it for over 2 years hoping for a price drop like the joycons.
It's been at this price in walmart for at least a year or more.
No, it hasn't. Check Walmart's site. It is still $65.00 or higher, depending on the location.
I'm not going to check Walmart's site but in store in my area it's been $59.00 for well over a year.
