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

      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.

          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:

            On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.

            You literally replied:

            My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

            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?

                And literally followed up with a clarification

                You weren’t clear until now. I know I spent a couple of minutes looking for a GameSit controller that splits, hahaha.
