    I feel like drift is mostly caused by manufacturing variances/issues. I barely play my Switch and when I do it's docked so I use a Pro Controller. Yet my joycon still got drift. Considering how much we beat up our N64 controllers in Smash and Mario Party yet they're still working literally 20 years later, I don't think it's the user.

    Heyo, I got your case study right here: I get controller drift like crazy, however I actually treat every single controller with tender care. I even did an experiment one time with a PS4 controller where I would only ever use it wearing gloves, and would put it back in the box immediately after using it. After a few months of semi-regular usage sessions, it still succumbed to drift.
    What confuses me is that I've seen people downright abuse their controllers and they'll insist they've never gotten drift. Yet I'm here keeping them sterile like hospital equipment and they still die on me after a few months.
    At this point, I just put a warranty on every single controller I buy. It saves me money in the long run.

    Hey Bob, really appreciate your testing a lot. You've done a great job!! Just want to say something here so viewers know more.:) You can set the analog trigger for two levels of its response, one level of travel sensing for games like racing and another level of quick action with little pressing. Also its vibration has different levels for setting to fit your preference. If you check its circularity, it has only 0.6% average error compared to 7% or even 10% around of all other controllers. Again our big thanks to you. We are very open to know different thoughts from players and committed to doing better.

      Sounds good but imo hair trigger analog shoulder buttons still don't feel as good as having an actual trigger stop since there's no tactile feedback on the actuation point. If a version of this with physical trigger stops was made, it looks like it would be literally perfect, the absolute holy grail of controllers. Failing that, a version that just had digital triggers would be just as perfect, but for the Switch and non-racing PC games specifically.

      I ended up with the PowerA Pro Fusion that he mentioned in the video, and everything seemed great except that the Gyro felt somewhat ass -- it turns out it was only reporting gyro at 30hz or so. Dealbreaker for me.
      The advertising on this controller seems to almost specifically call out use for aiming on PC, which of course is almost always higher than 60fps... Can you sell me on the gyro of this controller? If so I'll go buy one immediately! Gyro is the only concern I have before buying this.

    Bob they went with this design because it's easier to do. Like you said it's basically doing the same thing as a membrane. That means it's not going to complete the circuit before it bottoms out, which most mechanical switches do, but there may be other benefits to that design. It might last longer than rubber membranes for example. I don't know what it is but I've worn out the A on a number of recent rubber membrane controllers. They aren't make the rubber membranes as thick as they did back in the day.

    The gyro would be very useful for me in PC and the overall high quality build sounds nice. Macro is cool too. It seems like this controller would be great for PC users who like to mess around with the Steam controller settings. Making complete overhauls of a control layout.
    However I just can't get rid of that sweet sweet PS5 controller. I don't even own a PS5 but I bought a controller specifically to use on PC. Pretty much no other controller has a touchpad on it which can be used in a lot of different ways for PC. Headphone jack, usb-c, fancy triggers that can be modded for use in PC games, and some fancy lights to match my Razer gear and it's kinda hard to beat the PS5 on PC.
    I don't think I'll be picking it up but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this company to see what they do next. Which the Steam Controller out of production, the PC controller scene is desperate for someone to take it's place.

    Another good thing about this controller is that you can interchange/swap out the switch button layout for the PC/Xbox button layout with a combination of button presses which is a neat feature. I wish some controller manufactures can take some Ideas from the company GameSir with their G4 Pro controller they have magnetic A,X,B,Y face buttons that you can change the layout physically for Switch/Other Nintendo based consoles such as the Wii-U or leave it as the default PC/Xbox layout which is a neat feature. Just like you can swap out the ThumbSticks and DPad on the Xbox-one Elite Controller due to them being magnetic.

    I wish they could have added back paddles as well. I've become accustomed to those, they are very useful for FPS games and Soulslikes. I'm hoping the next Xbox Elite controller will have these hall sensor sticks. Although from what I've heard that could be impossible with the way it has its stick pieces attached magnetically and the way the triggers already use hall sensors that it might cause interferences.

      @@bland9876 Gimped as in you're not getting extra buttons? That depends. Some software (on PC) can recognize the Elite's paddles as separate buttons. You can assign them to different key bindings. The problem is that not all games support multi-device inputs, especially if they come from controller and keyboard. One solution is to map every controller input to a keyboard/mouse input at that point. But no real situation at that point is "optimal." As long as the controller has the paddles, it will be a great addition. If they add in software like 8bitdo does with the Pro 2, or allow it to be recognized as an Elite controller instead of mapping to be solely done on device/hardware.

      @@WitheredSpirit even if you have to use all controller inputs you can still do things with the paddles independently of the other buttons say you want the B button to be your jump button you don't have to map the paddle to the B button you can say map the paddle to be the left D pad and the right trigger at the same time. And even if your game doesn't like mixed inputs you can still sometimes find a few mixed inputs that work for example in fortnite there's a dedicated button to allow you to Sprint without you having to push forward on the controller and you can map that button to somewhere on the controller. Pretty handy when you have the regular sprint button mapped somewhere else that you don't really want to be double tapping.

    The controller knows you are pressing a direction, it knows it because it knows where you are not pressing.
    By subtracting where you are pressing from where you are pressing, or from subtracting where you are not pressing from where you are pressing, whichever is greater.
    It obtains a difference, or deviation. The controller subsystem generates command using these deviations.

    This controller looks almost exactly like what I've been looking for on PC.

B) A switch to disable the analog trigger like on the Elite controller.

    I've done some testing myself. I got my switch and within six months I had drift. I keep my electronics super clean and when the joy on began to drift it looked brand new. Then my cousin, who plays most games with me online, also had drift around the same time that I experienced mine. Then I got new joycons as did he and we play a lot of games in which you have to press down the left stick to run. So going forward we mapped the run button to a trigger or face button. NO MORE DRIFT! I think the combination of pressing down on the stick and a direction causes the joycons to wear much faster than normal. So I think the reason some people never get drift is the face they only play certain games, EG Wulff here. I've also done a survey of those who have had drift and I ask what types of games they play most and those that have drift usually play third person or FPS. Does anyone fit into this methodology?

I mean, it works for a relaxing game, but if i spam it while playing a more intensive game, the button lags and doesn't release. Ps. The joy con is only 1 month old and it certainly didn't feel like this when i got it. Plus, the clicking sound of the L and R keys are totally different, with the L feeling more springy and clicky.

    For switch I've tested the Pro controller, PDP, Power A enhanced wireless, Power A Fusion Pro, Power A Nano wireless, 8bitDo pro 2, and none of them have felt perfect for me. I ended up keeping the Power A enhanced wireless and adding thumb grip caps to the sticks to make it more comfortable. I liked the 8bitDo sticks more but didn't like it's triggers or the distance between the trigger and shoulder button. I loved my Xbox 360 controllers and the Stadia controller ended up being really comfortable for me. Should I try this one out as a comparison to all those other controllers? Bob, have you tested this controller for long play sessions yet? How much does the trigger travel compared to the 8bitDo pro 2?

    While it would be nice to see them commit to fully mechanical buttons, I suppose a benefit of their approach is that you don't get as much wobble with the buttons as you would on, say, an Xbox controller. You then don't have to worry about the contact pads on the PCB being poorly designed like they are on, say, an Xbox controller, since the button will always press pretty much straight down. So it's kind of best of both worlds, the durability of membrane contacts but the feel and reliability of a mechanical switch.

    This might be the best 3rd party Switch Pro Controller, or at least tied with like the 8bitdo Pro 2. Full gyro, rumble, no drift, good buttons, insane turbo settings, waking the console from sleep, heck this is the ONLY 3rd party Switch controller I've heard of that actually has NFC. The only things I can think of instantly that are missing are extra back buttons and even then some people just don't like having back buttons because they accidentally press them or can't reach them. All that and even PC support via USB, that's a really stinking good package. I've avoided buying an official Switch Pro Controller as long as possible because of the price, and I've been getting kind of close to buying an official one recently, but now I really have to rethink that with the 8bitdo Pro 2 being a great budget option and now this being pretty much a standard Switch Pro Controller for the same price with even more features than the official one.

If they had a version or mod kit that put at least two back buttons like the 8bitdo Pro 2. And a hair trigger mod, hell it doesn't even have to be as good as that mouse click like new Scuf. As long as it lasted a year they'd have a serious contender on their hands. Even if it was as expensive as the Xbox elite, or Razer controllers knowing ur sticks are gonna last out of the box is crazy huge value. I just got the 8bitdo Pro2 and love it. I'd get the pro version of this controller for sure though. But, I'm glad it exists and hope that people enjoy it and the company sticks around making better controllers. Hopefully, it gets more companies to use the technology they are putting forward.
