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.
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.

"Ever since the NES, Nintendo consoles always have a ton of accessories and it's often hard to tell what's worth getting. The Fixture S1 allows you to attach your Switch to the Pro Controller but is that something you'll want to do? Well... absolutely!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
$59.00
Awful price considering how basic the functionality is.
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.
