    If this persons body is resorting to storing fat in his palms I’m worried about what the rest of them looks like

    To be fair, those are the worst controllers ever paired with a game console. My hands are smaller than this, but they still hate the controls.

      I’ve heard that a lot but I have fairly large hands myself and really like the feel of them. I even have a set of joycons paired to my pc for shortcuts while I work with a stylus. Just don’t get how people have so much trouble with them.

      Edit: I guess my thumbs have a stutter, and there’s no sense in a free advert for a service I wish had better alternatives.

      Agreed. The triggers are far too small. The buttons are not in intuitive places and they are not very responsive. I try and play for Zelda, but wish I could pair a PS5 controller.

        You can! I use a Mayflash Magic-NS for this. I got a few and plugged them into a USB hub on my dock and my friends have been able to use their own comfortable controllers they use for their pc games on my switch. been a big hit for smash bros. ps4/ps5 controllers support gyro inputs fine too. you can even configure it to switch button orders/layouts and stuff for you so you don’t get xbox/nintendo xyab/yxba glyph/button conflicts, if you need. big fan of them overall. they work on other systems and controllers too, you can pair joycons to your PC with it (shows up as Xbox controller), they’re like universal “controller language” translators.

          Oh this is entirely too much work lol I PC game 99 percent of the time. The Switch is just for Zelda. But thanks for the info!

        Get an 8bitdo pro 2 controller. They have Xbox and PS styles. Good price, durable, easily rechargeable. And it also works with PCs.

        Also: no drift.

          I really hate how Nintendo doubled down on saying drift wasn’t a real problem with their original joycons. Two out of two original left joycons got severe drift after little use. To make matters worse, the tiny L/R buttons when they’re unattached stopped working, so no more Super Mario Party without some cumbersome button remapping.

      I like using the Switch, but I can’t use it for longer than an hour due to the Joy-Con causing cramps. I’m definitely going to replace them with a third party controller.

      I don’t think they’re problematic, but as a slightly above average height American male, I feel like my hands skew towards the smaller side of average which makes a difference. I have no problem with the joycons attached to the console, and I’m also a big fan of the pro controller. A friend of mine who is notably much taller bought me pro-like third party joycons for Christmas and they hurt my hands to use in contrast to the OG that don’t bother me at all.

    I don’t know why people complain about the Joycons (other than stick drift). They’re literally the exact same configuration the DS and 3DS have had since 2005 and everyone loves those systems.

    The big problem I have with joycons is my big, meaty hands. Makes it slightly harder for me to comfortably hold those small controllers when they’re not connected to the switch itself. I’ve totally been thinking of just going down to the nearby game shop one day and getting a controller, if I ever get more switch games to make the investment worthwhile.

      This is why I got some grips when I don’t have it docked and a pro controller. If you ever do use it more, it’s definitely worth it.

      First, I bought one of the Nintendo pro controllers day one with my Switch, and I love it. Secondly, I never liked playing with it mobile because it’s difficult to play with larger hands, but I just recently discovered a grip that the switch slides into giving you more meat to hold on to making it much easier for me to play on the go… was about $17 on amazon.
