[Controller] In terms of controllers, is it just the Joy-Con that has been upgraded? What about the Pro Controller?

Of course, you can use the Joy-Con and Pro Controller from the Switch on the Switch 2 as well. However, this time we have created an even more advanced controller.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller might look indistinguishable from the Switch’s Pro controller to some, except for its color, but it has been completely redesigned from scratch.

Especially the L stick/R stick can be moved quickly to the edge without making noise, so it doesn’t rattle anymore.

Also, it feels very smooth to the touch, so we call it the “Aerial Stick” (laughs).

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller NINTENDO SWITCH C

I wonder if it became a magnetic sensor.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m currently using the 8-bit one, but I’m debating whether to buy this.

Perhaps C won’t be used…

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I wish the durability would improve.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the compatibility issues with mouse mode can be resolved.

Pro controllers are known for their durability, so wouldn’t it be bad if they could be disassembled?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I wonder if they have improved the diagonal mis-inputs on the D-pad.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I don’t understand the original pro controller’s snag at all…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems to strike a balance by securing the necessary elements from the perspective of a portable home gaming console while prioritizing improved processing performance as much as possible. Besides the hardware performance, the Joy-Con, which is symbolic of the Switch, might also have some changes or enhancements, I wonder?

The “Joy-Con 2” in this release has been completely rebuilt from scratch. The analog sticks are larger than those on the Switch’s Joy-Con, their durability has been improved, and we have made them smoother in movement.

It seems like the Joy-Con has improved durability.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

For a while, I plan to try out various Switch games, so I’ll continue playing with the old Pro Controller.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

I thought it was just the weight of the stick that was different.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Joy-Con is one thing, but it’s the first time that the durability of the controller has been highlighted as a selling point with the announcement of the new hardware…

Nintendo was concerned about being fragile too, huh…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>14

Since you’re being sued and losing, of course you’ll appeal.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Let me use the box controller already.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

I’m not good with the box controller’s D-pad clicking.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>19

Stop playing with the Switch already.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

It should be usable.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of pro controllers, the Chinese ones are more multifunctional and cheaper, so I was thinking that those would be fine.

I wonder if the Pro Controller 2 has improved.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

The number of people wishing for more features beyond the back button is likely very small.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

It became clear that the repeated improvements in processing power and frame rate in the video were a significant bottleneck.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will the resolution increase?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it’s expensive, isn’t it?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

It feels like the price of controllers these days.

Well, if you just want a back attachment, a Joy-Con attachment with charging might be good enough.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re not going to use the back with C, is it okay to stick with the old one?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it okay to still use the current pro controller?

It doesn’t seem like it would change that much if we don’t voice chat.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Is there a decent gyro at a Chinese restaurant?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I mean, can we use the current Joy-Cons with the Switch 2?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m glad it has a headphone jack.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

I want you to use C, right?

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

If the stick button can be assigned to the rear button, then not having to use the press function could potentially extend its lifespan.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I watched the video of the experience event, and the Joy-Con grip for the second version had a back button added.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Will it become a hole element?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s great that the controller has a headphone jack.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

As long as it doesn’t move on its own even when I’m not touching the stick, that’s fine.

I became a pro within about two years.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tell me if there is a fine vibration representation similar to that of the PS5 or not.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>37

Did they also copy the HD rumble from the Switch?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

It’s not that they copied each other; both use Alps Electric’s technology, and the one on the DS is just a new version.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was just watching the Famitsu stream, and they said that while there may be individual differences, it’s easy to accidentally touch the rear buttons when you tense the hand gripping the controller.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t you using the trendy Hall effect?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of performance, the standard Pro Controller is fine, but with the standard Pro Controller, you can’t wake up the Switch 2 from sleep.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

They boast about improvements, but I wonder why they won’t tell us what specific technologies are being used…

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>42

Isn’t everything just technology?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

If it’s a technology that has a patent, isn’t there no problem with making it public?

The connection of the grip is explained thoroughly.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t wake it from sleep in the old version…

Well, it’s not like I have to buy a new one, but it’s a bit of a hassle.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish the Joy-Con charging grip had back buttons too.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t want to spend money on pro controllers, then a charging grip is the way to go.

It’s a difference of 5000 yen.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you are satisfied with the controller you are currently using, it seems you don’t need it.

If I had to say, it’s like vibration.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please assign the c button to another button!

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I replaced the pro controller because the pushing button was broken.

I hope the durability has increased in 2.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

Since it has the back two buttons, wouldn’t it be possible to assign the push action to them…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if third-party controllers can be used too.

I would hate it if I could only use licensed products like with the PS5.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

Those who have a Pro Controller for the first one probably won’t buy it much, so I’m grateful that I can reserve it with some peace of mind.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the Hall effect cannot be calibrated on a PC, then it doesn’t always have uniform curves and can be affected by timing, so it’s not all advantages.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

Usually, it’s the manufacturer who makes the adjustments.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I bought the Switch Pro Controller in the first year, and thought it would break around the sixth year, so I bought a spare just in case.

Since the first one is still not broken and the second one is still brand new, I can’t buy the used one even if I want to…

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

After realizing that the main unit is cheap with tax included?

Looking at the prices of other pro controllers, it seems like the expenses will add up after all… I become calm.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

This time, if the dock breaks, it will be amazing.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

For 10,000 yen, having back buttons is cheap, so it would be perfect if it didn’t drift.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it can charge without being connected to a cable, then I’ll buy it.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does the dock break?
