Near Perfect, expensive.

The new pro controller is overall good but I feel does repeat certain mistakes from the original Switch 1's pro controller, such as the inconsistent D-pad. The higher price is also difficult to justify, since it does just overall feel like a Switch 1 pro controller but with added back buttons. The back buttons feel fine, and are best suited for actions you only need to press every now and then, since the buttons are so sunken in that they don't feel as easy to tap the way paddles on an Xbox Elite controller are. I'd recommend this controller if you can get it on a decent sale but the $90 I spent was hard to justify.

The Wireless HORIPAD for Steam is the controller specifically designed for use on Steam for Windows 11/10 and Steam Deck. Quickly pull up Steam menus during gameplay with three dedicated menu buttons - great for playing in Big Picture mode! This fully featured rechargeable pro pad connects to your Steam Deck or Windows PC running Steam via Bluetooth wireless with 12 hours of battery life. No Bluetooth? No problem ~ HORI has you covered with a USB-A Bluetooth receiver. Also functions as a wired connection via the included USB cable (XInput Mode only compatible with wired connection). Packed with features including gyro sensors for motion control, two programmable back buttons and two function buttons, analog/digital triggers, and Capacitive Touch Thumbsticks ~ assign functions to be activated when touching the Analog Sticks. (*Does not include the following features: vibration, trackpad, headset jack.) Compatible with Steam and Steam Deck.

Solid choice for Steam Deck.
on May 22, 2025

Verified Purchase:Yes
The controller overall is nice to use. It doesn't feel fragile but does have a light and somewhat cheap feeing to the plastic. The gyro works the same as Steam Deck where you can activate it by resting your thumb on the right stick. The back buttons are nice to have but unfortunately two of them are mapped to two small hard to click buttons on the front underneath the right stick and D-pad, making them significantly less useful. The controller is a good jack-of-all-trades but does lack the versatility already present in the Steam Controller, making this a solid, but imperfect controller if you wish to use a Steam Deck while docked to a monitor or TV.

Very late review, but good earbuds
on February 16, 2024
Posted by: John
Sounded great. They lasted me a solid 3 years, but are now cutting out when the cord is bent a certain way. More my fault than anything. Pretty durable considering how long I had them.
Good range of sound. Heavy on bass.
Could barely hear anything else when they were in my ears.

Game is overall a lot of fun.
Has generic enemies, but they're at least fun to shoot. Fun mobility to play with.
But is really just a standard open world third person shooter. Does nothing special but is fun enough to play to completion.

OLED screen looks great.
My only real issue is it's missing the really sweet dock with the original 8 Smash Bros characters on it like the original Smash Bros Switch has.

Really nice to use, even without the additional back paddles.
Only real flaw is there isn't a dedicated capture button. Would recommend if you can get it $30+ off.

The caps for joycons feel perfect. Help add grip to the sticks without feeling too tall.
Pro controller grips are fine, feel a bit too tall but do add a good amount of grip.

I've already used a Switch for years, and I recommend getting one regardless of the model.
But the OLED screen is an absolutely amazing upgrade that I didn't expect.
Colors are way nicer and more vibrant.
I thought I knew what red looked like on a Switch screen, but after using an OLED, I can't go back.
I hope
whatever inevitable Switch successor has an OLED screen as standard.

Do I have to pay a monthly subscription to play this game if I am only playing one player

You only need to pay for Playstation Plus if you're going to be playing co-op or pvp.
Otherwise you can play the entire game singleplayer without needing to pay for anything else.
