butt touch (づ￣ ³￣)づ (___)___)
I won a Smash tournament on my college using the joycons separately :)
you're a crazy person
Eather you’re that good or the other people really suck
Or his opponents were using joycons too
@@hhoop3876 I have small hands and is super comfortable for me.
Corrupted Z you would of catch these fade if i was there using pro controller
Wow I thought that first controller was called the SoldjaPro
Don't give him any ideas.......
all those headlines you dipshits gave him and u guys still cant spell...
@@GenesisGreen Dam... Aye can bearly sea with all that shayd yu bea throing.
@@GenesisGreen ur dum.
Ayyyyyyyeeee
Okay I cracked up at the "WE'RE NOT TALKIN ABOUT THAT"
Yes same haha
Got a Switch for almost two years now and I still haven't bought a pro controller yet. I have been using the joy cons with the grip and it is still working
Same with me
Same with me but I’m thinking of buying a pro controller for borderlands
Same I’m only wanting one now because of Outer Worlds and BioShock
With the joycons having the consistent drifting issues I'm looking into pro controller options
Harshal Desai dont they also have drift issues?
Wow. When you interrupted yourself it scared the shit out of me😅
Pro controller at Walmart has been 59.99 for a long time now. At least near me.
Also loving the little comedy bits. And more Will is always good.
I love using the Pro Controller and when it needs to charge I use the joycon grip or joycon in each hand. Depends on how I wanna sit on my couch
Jesse McKowen same for me. Might as well just pay the extra $10 for the premium controller
Jesse McKowen Same here.
Will's a bit boring but comedy skits and are top notch for satisfying smirks
It was $55 during the holiday season. I was going to get one, but held out for Christmas and got it then as a gift.
meee too bucko
I swear, Wulff Den has a controller fetish.
Pie Studios *d-pad fetish
*SN30pro fetish
can't blame him
Me *foot fetish
or you could say he is a control freak
Oh man, I remember that last video, I ended up buying the Pro controller and I don't regret buying it at all! It's my favorite controller, so much so that I felt uncomfortable going back to my PS4 controller, lol.
Internet daddy!!! I was worried you went to the store to get cigarettes and never came back!
Grymmhain eww cigarettes are gross
tdogGaming that’s right but it’s okay because he wouldn’t have really been going to buy them anyway. He’d have been abandoning me
Grymmhain LMFAO!!! Aww lol that got me
He got crucified like 3 days ago but it’s all good because he’s risen to give us a new video
Weird
8bitdo needs to make the ultimate pro controller clone already.
They are
SN30 Pro+ is rumored to launched next month.
I kinda just want a grip attachment to their regular sn30pro. No need to make an entirely new controller Imho
@@Sammy-qx5mx maybe it has bigger rumble.
They now did
I love the SF30 Pro. It's my go to controller. For everything. Period. Wherever it's the Switch, PC games or my huge emulator library, this controller can do just about everything competently, with minimal setup time.
Great list! I got the 8bitdo for platformers and the PowerA wireless GameCube for smash. I had the same thought about the triggers but luckily they are easily modded to remove all travel. Manage to get that knocked out and it's a winner for sure.
Where is that darn SN30 pro+? The website says holiday 2018. I want!
Erick_Hendley spring 2019
Amazon!
Summer 2019 now
Hey man I saw you in the chat yesterday 🤘
@@vyrratic1853 Yup. This one is correct. 8bitdo has clarified this on their Twitter. Also, the Gbros adapter is pretty perfect for people who just want to make their gamecube conroller or wii classic controller into a wireless controller for 20 bones.
8bitdo works for smash for me but my hands aren’t as big. Snes controllers are my favorite feel so I guess I’m biased
i got 1 too its good for SMASH feels so retro yet futuristic
I know it's a year later, but if it's possible, can you tell me your experience with this controller for 3D games?
Meritxell Shepherd yeah lol I’m playing smash with it rn. I think it’s got the same flaws as the stick layout of the ps4 controller. Fps games will feel a tad bit awkward but still very playable. Really the only flaw is how large the buttons are so there’s a lot of distance from a to the joystick. The triggers have no travel which is good and bad. I’ve used it for katamari and Splatoon and odyssey and it’s fine. I have bias cuz I love the snes controller shape.
@@EthansSpace thanks for your response! I watched every review of this controller and they barely talked about this topic, and I was a little worried about it being uncomfortable for 3D games
Another one question: have you experienced any drifting problems?
(Btw, sorry for my bad English, I'm mexican)
Meritxell Shepherd Nope I love these joysticks they’re nice and high up and very similar to ps4 joysticks
For anyone looking at this video two years later, the Hori controller has been upgraded to use USB-C AND includes a charger. It took a minute to sync up, but if you used the change grip/order menu, it connects just fine and you can just button mash to sync after that.
It's been great for my big hands, the only downside being that it doesn't have rumble, and does feel a little on the cheaper side
Even though it doesn't necessarily count as an alternative, you should have mentioned the various controller adapters that let you connect other gamepads you may already have, and they can be all wireless. The Mayflash MAGIC-NS, in particular, is my favorite as it supports Rumble (not HD) AND Gyro on the controllers that have it in them.
Unpopular opinion, but I love the joy cons. I use them separated with one on each hand like the Wii setup.
I do at times as well
JoMa I have a pro controller because my brother hates the joy cons, I just personally prefer them over any controller. But I get your point, he does shit on them a lot.
BlazinHope With Smash I use a pro controller for sure, too much button mashing for the joy cons.
I liked using then like that. But my hands cramped up way too fast
That's definitely my favourite use of joycons, however for Zelda I admit I like my unified controller
The PowerA controllers would be good if they didn’t need batteries. That’s such a massive drawback.
Finally broke down and just got myself rechargable AAs to use in mine.
Just drop in some rechargeable batteries and game on.
The sticks on them feel very garbage and cheap to me
@@Gaganpreet708 I have the gamecube controller and I'll admit that the lack of rubberized grip on the sticks and how clacky the buttons are is a bit of a drawback, but it still feels good to play smash with.
Personally I like the clackyness (is that a word?). I'm loving this gamecube controller for all my games (kart, odyssey, smash, zelda, etc.) and the batteries have lasted a lot longer than I expected. I'm pleasantly surprised how good it is for a 3rd party controller. I just wish I could find a carrying case that it would fit in.
I have the power A one and its super convenient because you can pop out one battery and it doesnt waste the charge while in a bag. This has been a godsend for my daily commute between work and home. My bag use to turn the controller or the system on all the time and this has been resolved. Also my wife got me the diablo one for christmas and it looks amazing!
I actually got the Power A one too
And I didn't know about the battery part.
@@ejelecflametails6657 EJ! pop that sucker out when you are on the move. I promise you itll save you some serious frustration in not finding a dead controller in the bag when you get to your destination. Granted the batteries on time in the power A controller lasts a long long time too! instagram.com/weasleye91/?hl=en
I linked my instagram as well for future posts if you are interested!
Small note on the Gamecube controller from PowerA, just got one myself-- the buttons are very loud and clicky, this could be good or bad, but given everyone is working from home lately, I'd recommend just using your joycons if you don't want to risk bothering anyone. Can also confirm notes in video; I actually got this specifically for Mariokart, since my dad was complaining the small joycon buttons kept making his thumb sore whenever he played, and I'm inclined to agree. Also just used it for Zelda today, as mentioned in the video, it works but it's awkward. I kept instinctively going for A when I was supposed to press Y or X, similar issue when playing Animal Crossing. I've mostly found it works best for Mariokart or Smash, so if those are games you'll be playing a lot, I'd recommend it (as long as you invest in rechargeable batteries and a charging dock for them, buying new batteries all the time isn't good for the environment *or* your wallet, ha)
Nah the first one you mentioned that goes for $30 works like a charm and I use it every single day. No input delay and the buttons are nice and big. No complaints 100% recommend
Pal Sidd there dead zone is wayyy to big
It's garbage. You're just a broke bitch telling yourself it's ok 😂
@@Broxty Damn chill Satan
@@hambu4781 agreed!
The generic bluetooth controller does have rumble too, not just the SN30...@WULFF DEN
No one:
Me: uses joy cons separately
Also me:
*”They called me a madman”*
I did that for so long because my left joycon wouldn't connect in handheld mode so I had to play like that for months
Joycon drift 😭
I am legitimately surprised no mention to the newly released Nyko Wireless Core Controller. Also, I use a WII U pro controller via a Magic NS for the switch.
Personally, that PowerA enhanced controller is amazing. Its great, as good as the normal pro controller
Finding out that there was a version of Fire Field with lyrics was one of the best moments of my Smash Bros Ultimate experience
Got a Switch yesterday and immediately came to RUclips looking for advice on a pro controller, this video was superb, thank you!
I've got one of the PDP charging grips, which is a bit wider and beefier than the Nintendo JoyCon grip. It's actually not too bad to use. Though I love my SN30 pro. I use it all the time.
I have been waiting for my switch to come in for the past week or so and I can not stop watching your videos. Really helps to pass the time because I am super excited and can't get my mind off of it. Also if it weren't for your video on third party docks I wouldn't have known any better and would have bought one to save money, (because our switch is going to be set up in our living room and want to be able to bring it into my room to play on my Tv without unplugging anything) that video was super helpful and very informative.
Edit: internet daddy gave me a heart :o
Recommend amazing switch pro controller amzn.to/2CI9s5v
I come here just to look at Wulffs hair. My sound is literally on mute.
You are weird.
I also like to stare at his hairline and trick my mind into seeing a bald Bob
@@eliack95 I'm really starting to suspect that he's wearing a wig
Me too

I use the generic Bluetooth one for almost everything and I like it. Motion, rumble, wireless, it’s got it all. I did have to manually update firmware once after a switch update but the company sent me all the info on how to do it.
Honestly nothing beats the Pro controller! I held out for a long time because of the price, but I found it on sale and it's my favorite controller ever.
Alternatively, 8BitDo makes a wireless USB dongle that lets you hook up a PS4 controller to the Switch. It works fantastically well, although it's difficult trying to remember that triangle is now the X button, etc.
The official Pro Controller dethroned the 360 controller for my all-time favorite.
Best feeling, best rumble, motion control support, and an amazing battery life.
Fantastic Controller alright. I've spent hundreds of hours playing BOTW/Splatoon an its never missed a beat.
Should do the Finger Snap everytime he says, "Switch!" 👉 Thanks for the vid!
I own a Xenoblade edition Pro controller, which is great, but my 8Bit do super famicom inspired controller is so good. It is absolutely the best alternative. Honestly, I love the symmetrical design with the non-offset analog sticks. And it's perfect for someone with small hands. It's great to have both depending on whether or not I need a top notch dpad or not.
@Wulff Den. I bought that first controller you talked about. It came as a 2 pack for $58. I bought 2 packs (4 controllers) It was a cheap/smart option to get for supplying friends for 4 player smash/mario kart. It uses usb type C and has rumble.
I got a brand new splatoon 2 pro controller for 50 bucks last week on offerup
you, the reader, might get similar luck, just look around
I have a scuf vantage for my PS4, so I just use one of those little adapter plugins for my switch. Saved me a bunch of money.
I have both the nacon revolution and razer raiju controllers... too bad they are wired. the adapter doesn't work. The adapter is a smart way to go though, for sure. works well enough on my stock ps4 controllers.
8bitdo sn30pro is one of the best lacks hd rumble but oh wow playing with this controller brings back so many memories
I have the official Pro Controller and the 8Bitdo SF30 Pro. One thing I love about the SF30 Pro is its size - I bring my Switch to work often and play via tabletop mode, so having a more portable option than the Pro is awesome.
8 bitdo sn30 pro controller is my favorite controller, snes is my fav console of all times. using that controller on my new favorite console makes me way happier then it should. i love it, worth every penny.
How is it for fighting games? Thinking about picking one up for the mk11 release.
If I didn't have an official pro, and the wireless power A with the extra buttons on the back (pro alternative, also has motion), I'd totally get one. But I got those for free, and I don't wanna pay for a controller lmao.
I will be playing MK11 with it for sure. Its great!
How are the analogue sticks - I have the nes30 pro and the analogues are bad - do the analogue joypad test on the switch and you'll see compared to joycon not only is the deadzone bad the motion jiggles all over the place not smooth like the joycon when held in one place its really noticeable in Mariokart.
The buttons and d pad are very good so I like the 8bitdo n30 pro pad for those games which don't need analogue
@@damianthomson6402 Try to update the firmware on your controller, you can find the right one one the 8bitdo homepage. I have none of this problems.
Perfect timing on the second you coming in brah
I have a railay pro controller for the switch it's 40 dollars , I'm in Canada. And it look exactly like the pro controller. I got two and they been a blessing. Amazon has them. They are wireless with type c charge also rumble and motion control works with it, I can do some shrines on botw and I got a lite
I love the enhanced power a controller especially for Rocket League. Super helpful to have a similar set up to my steam controller: mapping the back paddles to air roll right and left.
10/10 editing
8BITDO IS BEST, CMON!
Can't like this, because I don't support the term 'best' but it is pretty cool, aye
I have the arcade stick!!
Just stumbled upon Wulff Den the other day searching for videos for my new Switch. Really loving his content. He's informative and entertaining without being annoying like most RUclipsrs. Looking forward to more vids from WD! Ok, ill shut up now.
Thanks very much for this video I’ve watched a couple of these as I’m trying to decide obviously on what controller to buy and you’re supposed to be the only video that actually talks about how the controllers are to use. Most grateful
The double-Bob video effect was really nice.
Well, I got me an 8bitdo controller after your constant praise for it... and I already ordered a second one. Holy shit, that controller is fantastic. May be because my first console was an SNES, so I might be a bit biased, but damn. It feels good.
Oh my brain... I completely lost it when a second you came into view
That double Bob outburst @ 6:57 scared the shit outta me lol!
I bought the smash ultimate pro controller and I’ve never looked back, totally worth the $5 extra bucks.(on top of $70 pro controller)
I got mine with the steel case bundle
Anthony Rivera same! absolutely love it ❤
The best third party pro controller is the NYko Wireless Core Controller
Where can i find this controller at do gamestop have it
6:43 *”The only thing I don’t like about this controller is that the shoulder buttons are very springy.”*
How could you say something so controversial yet so brave?
As someone with small hands i love the joycons. they're amazing for anything except shooters or rocket league
I was a whackjob usin the joycon grip for about a year lol... just got a pro controller and uhhh yea its a must buy
I got to check out Nyko's new colorful pro controlelrs at CES and they are actually amazing. They have several color options and have everything except NFC, retail for 30 bucks, and feel pretty good in the hand. Oh and has rechargeable battery (though it's micro USB if memory serves). Nothing beats the Pro controller, but for 30 bucks you're getting an incredible value.
Edit: just checked the site, it's actually Type C. Also has turbo function if you're into that. nyko.com/collections/switch/products/wireless-core-controller-red-for-nintendo-switch
7:01 “WE’RE NOT TALKIN ABOUT THAT” 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for putting the time I was looking for this
Forgot to comment and say thank you for the review, it helped me change my mind about buying this controller when I saw it on Amazon,and I bought one :)
Witch one
Witch one(timestamp plz)
Lmao god damn dude, your other you scared the hell outta me!
I have that magic usb stick and I use the ps4 controller. I cant get it to be wireless but its fine.
Really? Mine works wirelessly.. maybe you have to change the mode on it. i believe mine flashes red when connected to the ps4 remote.
I believe when I try, it works wirelessly for about 15-20 seconds and then it disconnects
I haven't tried in while tho. I'll give it another shot.
So PS4 controller works with switch? What about Xbox one controller?
@@mr.teekanee9750 yes, I havent tried myself though, but look up "magic usb switch" on youtube and many say it work with ps3, ps4, and xbox one controllers.
All you need is the Magic usb stick. I checked today on Amazon and it cost $22.99. Good deal if you ask me.
Ok, I maybe have something like that to connect my nvidia shield tablet with my controller but it's very short and what about bluetooth connection between switch and PS4 or Xbox controller?
Would love if Hori would make a smaller wireless controller with the same DPad they have in their Joycon. That might be my favorite DPad I've used so far on Switch, even over the 8BitDo pads.
Ever since I got my Nintendo Switch as a surprise early graduation gift from y best friend, I've somehow found my way to your channel. Subscribed a while back but man I love the Switch content you push out. You KNOW I watched all those vids to prep for my Switch. Keep up the good stuff!
Wish you tried out the Nyko Wireless Core Controller.
Review the new Nyko power core that’s wireless, it features motion control and rumble
I'm an 8bitdo and official pro controler user. I also use the switch in tabletop mode when out and about and the 8bitdo pad is great for portability
I'm using Joy-cons with grip. They are not bad. And yes, I've used many different controllers on many platforms. But I'm wacko. My fav is Steam controller :)
Nothing wrong with Joycon grip.
Wulff den vlogs Bob we want em! 😁 I recently picked up the switch pro controller and I was super impressed it just feels good and as someone who used the regular joycons it's my favorite for now.
I've been using the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Fortnite and it has worked like a charm. Saved me money from trying to get a SCUF to work with my switch.
There's also the Nyko Core controller that was released recently. It's a really good build for super cheap.
🤔, could you or anyone give me a review on the switch surge pad?
*smashes generic bluetooth controller*
me internally: *N O H O W C O U L D Y O U D O T H A T ! ? I W O U L D ' V E B O U G H T*

A gamer that no one hates. Good stuff bro!
I picked up a Pro Controller with my Switch day 1. I like the joycon grip fine, but I've never regretted that decision.
Is there a reason why the gameboy version of the sn30 is better than the snes version?
I'm curious to know this as well. I'm guessing it's because of the added ridges on the d-pad, but maybe there are other reasons??
I think it’s because the Gameboy’s D-pad is better.
It's the d-pad. I have a video on it, which is linked in a card.
He prefers the D-pad. If it's not your preference, or you don't care either way, they're probably about the same in quality.
i love you internet daddy
I got a Power A controller when I got my Switch, (LoZ Green). Have used it ever since. ... Until now, because of you, im ordering an 8BitDo!! Yayy!! Thank you.
I use the Power A wireless gamecube controller as a Main controller and it really is the best controller out of all the options in my opinion. Really gives you a retro feeling with a new twist to it
60$ xbox controller without a rechargeable battery: yeah seems reasonable
70$ controller with 40 hour battery life: "NO"
xbox controller is also a windows 10 controller; and nintendo games are not xbox games, meaning people who play xb1/ps4 have a different standard anyway
Answer
PS4 controller using Ns adapter
Yep. 8bitdo makes one and it works beautifully. Motion controls, rumble, feels good in the hand (because I'm used to it), thumbsticks are perfect for me (because I've been a Playstation guy all my life) and it even has all of the necessary buttons.
Lol I would have understood if you said xbox one on switch but why the cheapest feeling controller of all 3 companies?
@@NaaimSiddiqi right and the layout of the controller is just right, not to mention it's symmetry
@Martin Schmidt that his own personal opinion, to me the x box one is too oddly shaped and it's trigger go up too high.
Plus doesn't have the hd rumble when using an adapter
PS4 controllers are trash. There is too much travel on the shoulder buttons
13:02 wow feels like I’m back in New York already 🤣
I have a SN30 pro and i love it, it is one of the best 2nd pro controller you can have especially if you travel a lot or some times the smaller size helps allot.
Plus it has most of the features that the official one had except NFC and if you want to be really picky HD rumble (it rumbles but not in HD).
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is now $49.99.... So this is kinda irrelevance now.
Refurbished Nintendo Switch Pro Controller on sale for under $50
You really went with the pro controller for #1?
Seriously Bob, What is the point of naming the video "Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Alternatives" then?!
Because he said alternative not replacement. He clearly says her only recommends getting these if you don't want to fork over the 10-20$ for the 1st party controller since none of these have all the features of the pro or feels as good. So until one is made it's a alternative not a replacement.
@@billy-waynejeffcoat4828 you clearly don't understand the meaning of the "alternative", lol.
@@lemoneken no I do, but you clearly don't understand it's a "shitty alternative" if it lacks features.
@@billy-waynejeffcoat4828 you're still fucking stupid though. The title of the video says 'alternatives', you *sure* you know what that means? Means controllers *besides* the official pro controller.... Anything *BUT* the official pro controller could be on here and it'd be no problem, the moment he put that, as number 1 no less, he shouldn't have made the title alternatives you fucking moron. He didn't just say 'all good pro controllers' so fuck off.
@@billy-waynejeffcoat4828 Think long and hard of what he titled the video; then think about what you just said.
Nyko wireless core controller feels great, has rumble, motion controls, rechargable battery and a USB type c cable, for 30 bucks!!!
Yup i thought this one would be on the list
I love that you yelled at yourself for going off topic. That was hilarious!
Xbox One or PS4 controller with that 8bitdo adapter swag.
PS4 if you want that motion control, Xbox One if you want similar controller layout.
9:36
"20 dollars cheaper"
pretty darn accurate for the discount when it comes to nzd
I use the PowerA wireless GameCube controller for everything, and I love it. The build quality is fantastic. It doesn't have rumble or NFC, sadly, but to me it's worth the trade-off to have the GameCube controller with all the Switch buttons.
older video but coming in from 2022 and have to say that no controller is perfect, there is always something lacking on one while others have it, and yes these are often enough to be deal breakers for people:
Pro - has basically everything except a bad choice of d-pad where you can hit multiple directions at once
Hori - has great stick and d-pad options, much larger to help with big hands > uses usb micro charging.
PowerA - overall a great value as the controller is solid > requires physical batteries over a rechargable one.
8bitdo+ - a pleasure to use for any game, especially with the new grip, sadly it cant wake up the switch so you need to manually turn it on or use another controller to turn it on.
kind of looking at my options today hence why im looking at older videos. I currently have the 8bitdo but not being able to wake up the system is slowly becoming an annoyance. Im likely going to designate that to pc only now and get a pro, only swapping back if i heavily need to use the d-pad.
hahaha, man WULL DEN is my favorite content creator. No one can replicate this guy's charm for me.
Have been using the general Bluetooth controller for months without any issues at all.
If he cut us hair down a little, and slicked it back, he would be the John Wick of gaming gear reviews. Love you Wulff Den😂
So I actually have the PowerA Gamecube Controller, and something he didn't mention was that they come with batteries in the box. And I also wanted to say that the controller is very good.
I will say the Pro Controller may be pricey, but it's so worth it mainly for the button remapping alone. I can change the layout to reflect others such as into an N64 controller, or a Gamecube controller, even an Xbox or PS controller if you're like me and prefer to keep the select button the same across all your consoles. So even though it is expensive, the button remapping is basically giving you multiple controllers if you think about it. But I will say "Power A" and "8BitDo" are my other favorites just for the feel alone while holding them.
I have to say, the Switch pro controller is definitely the best controller in general I've ever used. It has all of the standard inputs for AAA games, the D pad and thumbsticks are great, and it's one of the only controllers that doesn't make my hands cramp after an hour of use. It's definitely worth it if you can afford it, even if you don't have a Switch since it works with PC iirc.
I watched this video as I bought my switch pro a couple wks back thinking i made a mistake with my research. After watching it I realised nothing's changed
My current gamepad (at least as I await the arrival of my N30Pro) is actually one I didn't know existed until I spotted it in a local store: Snakebyte's gamepad S Pro, generic name and all. Wireless, rechargeable, comes with USB-C cable, vibration and PlayStation analogue stick layout. It messes with my muscle memory a bit (I play Switch and PS4 games regularly), but I actually really like the feel of it. Buttons are super clicky and the sticks a little stiff, especially compared to the joycons, but it's definitely worth the 35€ I paid.
