SWITCH Split Pad Compact (Gengar)

Product Information

Its C-stick, asymmetrical button layout, and ergonomic shape make it a must-have for any Smash Bros. As its name suggests, it glows in the dark, and has a nifty Toad design all over it, allowing you to game with style. In terms of quality, don’t expect the SN30 Pro+ to feel quite as solid as the Switch Pro Controller. As an added bonus, the 8Bitdo Zero 2 controllers also support the PC, Mac, and Android devices through Bluetooth, and their firmware can be updated wirelessly.

When attached to the Switch, the Joy-Cons are nearly perfect, offering much better control over your game than you’d get with an older Nintendo system or even the PlayStation Vita.It's also worth mentioning that each Joy-Con serves as its own controller, meaning you've got two functioning devices right out of the box.

Likewise, that same player might love shooters such as Fortnite or Apex Legends, so a Pro Controller is best, as it features a more traditional layout. This issue has plagued users from the beginning, and while it isn't as common today, can still happen, especially with older Joy-Con. And while you can't detach its controllers and hook it up to a TV for a bit of big-screen gaming, you can connect other controllers to it. I like the look of the Gengar one, and the lack of rumble, gyro, NFC, or IR camera doesn't particularly bother me as many games don't need them. If you're going to be playing a lot of multiplayer games that require precision, we advise picking up a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller or an additional set of Joy-Cons for comfort.The Esywen wireless Switch controller is an exception to that, offering a similar layout to the Pro Controller, but with several options to give you the ideal gaming experience. Its sticks are both located under the buttons and directional pad, and all customization buttons are directly in the middle for easy access. It doesn't matter if you prefer fast first-person shooters or slow narrative-driven experiences, our list of the best Nintendo Switch controllers has a gamepad for you.
