"Sounds like neither of you watched the video. "

That’s. The. Point. I neither watch videos nor read articles that suggest having boiled down a more or less complex topic to ‘the real reason (singular)’. Maybe it’s bad wording, maybe it’s on purpose. I’ll never know.

If a video title or headline claims that there is one single reason for xyz then most of the time it’s clickbait.

Sorry I misunderstood. And literally followed up with a clarification so what’s the problem

You mean both hands have to grip one controller opposed to having a Joycon in each hand? That split-design can be an advantage, but IMHO doesn’t cancel out the shortcomings of the Joycons. I find them still too small and not grippy at all.

It’s a conventional GameSir controller that has a Switch mode among others. The split design of the Joycons rarely plays out, most of the time it makes the controllers unnecessarily complex and thus expensive IMHO.

My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

Hot take: Nintendo Switch Joycons. They’re a nice and clever concept but in reality they’re bad.

Too small even for casual games. The Wiimote was much better at it.

Very expensive at 80 € per set. Yes, you get two of them but in most games outside of Mario Kart you also need both. And even then they’re fine at best.

4 out of 4 of my controllers got stick drift. Nintendo had to be sued into repairing them.

As a fellow German I can rest you assured that not even we all can read her name correctly on first try. I had weaker Wi-Fi passwords.

Came here to say the same-sung.

Expensive beer with often questionable taste.

Some craft beers taste like a competition for the most bitter sparkly urine-like beverage priced at Champagne level. It’s an expendable niche luxury product and money is tight these days.
