The only reason I've put off buying a switch is because the controllers are so bad. Even assuming they've finally fixed all the issues with drift and wireless, the controls are cramped and the buttons so so tiny!
Doesn't nintendo sell a bigger better controller? I forgot what it's called, but it's much higher quality than the default ones and feels really good in the hand.
That's good to know! It somewhat diminishes it's usefulness as a portable system but it beats having to put up with that insane d-pad and baby buttons. I'm still kind of hoping for a switch XL...
I think the Japanese have smaller hands to begin with, and Nintendo's controllers have always been small and uncomfortable. It was a much better experience playing them emulated with an Xbox controller.
But the Switch Pro controller (found it, https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pro-controller/) is basically that... a full size, Xbox like controller you can bring with you. You can leave the smaller side controllers at home and just use Switch in tabletop mode, maybe...?
There are more comfortable PC and Android handhelds too, if you're not set on the Switch ecosystem.
The build quality is indeed very poor but the mechanic actually is pretty fun, similar to the Wii, it can be used for exercising, perfect gift for seniors
No other console manage to deliver like Nintendo did with both the Wii and the Switch
Sony/Microsoft have a lot to learn, hopefully their next gen include a portable device with original mechanics
Hence why I bought a Nintendo Switch, the premise is: to have fun
