It’s extremely snug to carry, its joysticks are buttery easy, and all of its buttons are splendidly responsive. Nintendo even made it customizable this time with rear buttons that may simply be mapped inside any recreation.

The one draw back? The Swap 2 Professional Controller prices $85, which appears a bit egregious when you may get a wonderful controller like 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 wireless gamepad for $60. Nearly as good because the competitors is, although, you gained’t discover something that may be simply configured instantly from throughout the Swap 2’s consumer interface.

My arms usually really feel cramped after I play that recreation with the Swap 2’s Pleasure-Con 2 controllers for too lengthy. However there’s none of that with the Swap 2 Professional controller. I used to be capable of race for an hour with none discomfort, and I additionally observed that it was simpler for me to drag off the sport’s difficult soar maneuvers and rail sliding.

The Swap 2 Professional controller can also be critically useful with preventing video games, due to its easy and correct directional pad. It acquits itself to most genres simply, although it could have been good to see analog triggers for extra exact management in severe racing video games. — Devindra Hardawar, Senior Reporter
