    I'd say the reason they didn't put a decent bevel in that middle gap is down to cost. Part of the reason they got it down to $30 likely just comes down to how much of the molding for the Ultimate they're able to reuse.
    Personally, the lack of Amiibo support isn't that bad, just considering that it's both cheap and wireless; something that we were lacking on the Switch for a very long time.
    On a bit of a tangent from that, I'm not seeing much reason for someone to grab a Switch Pro Controller at full price nowadays. A bit cheaper and you can get a better d-pad, sacrificing HD Rumble (which few games make good use of) and NFC (but if you have a right joycon, you're probably fine without.) For the same price or a bit more, you can get a similarly good d-pad and now hall effect sticks, memory/turbo functions, and maybe grip buttons. Meanwhile the Switch Pro Controller has a mushy d-pad and sticks that start drifting over time and have snap-back issues out of the box.
    At the end of the day, I think we all grab peripherals for comfort reasons, and sometimes that might just mean grabbing whatever the official option is, but if these options were available at launch and I knew enough about 'em all, I think I would've grabbed anything but the Pro Controller.

    Well, I don't use amibo and don't care about the weight. I also got a full refund on mine due to a shipment issue... and only THEN it showed up. I use it on PC and switch, and it's by far the best controller I've ever touched new below $40. I am partial to the blue one, so it's what I ordered. Good review, and glad I made a good choice.

    I think they did no redesigne the controller's shape so that they can use the same manufacturing process over the whole ultimate range. MAkes perfect sense from a production pov. For the asking price it's a decent option e.g. as 3rd and 4th controller...

    This review is detailed and amazing. You earned a like an sub.
    I'm currently looking for a controller whose sticks won't drift as my official wireless Nintendo switch pro drifts and I have 3 powerA controllers that drift so I was trying to see if this had a better reputation. Besides reviewing the controller's quality over time I'd say this was a perfect short and detailed video.

    • @GameXData
      @GameXData  10 месяцев назад

      For sure! In general, most third party controllers (Ultimate C included) are recognized by Switches the same as a Pro controller. As such, you should be able to connect as many of them to a Switch as it can handle.

      Not that I know of. From what I understand, that's a feature they left out to hit the low price point. However, rumble can be de-activated altogether in the Switch's settings if it bothers you.

    I can't in good conscience recommend Nintendo's pro remote to anyone. Yeah, it has two things that other remotes don't have. ...That being amiibo support and HD rumble, but... The Dpad is awful. It's prone to false diagonals because there's no pivot joint in place and the sticks use potentiometers, which means they're prone to drift over time.
    Not a great product for 70 dollars, imo.
