Like the GuliKit option above, 8BitDo’s Ultimate Bluetooth controller has Hall effect sticks (made by GuliKit, no less). Nested inside each dock is one of 8BitDo’s USB Adapter 2 transmitters.
Each Ultimate Bluetooth controller includes a charging dock. Note that this feature isn’t necessarily something you can feel functioning in the moment, but it’s reassuring nevertheless if you don’t want to replace your controller for this reason in the future. Instead of developing drift over time, GuliKit’s sticks seem to avoid it thanks to the Hall effect technology, which relies on magnets to keep its sensors accurate. I’ll keep the jargon brief: Most controllers use potentiometer analog sticks, which eventually become less accurate due to a number of factors that this iFixit article lays out nicely.

( Note: A very similar model by GuliKit called the Zen Pro is available at Target for $59.99)Ī similar version called the Zen Pro is available exclusively at Target stores for $59.99. However, its drift-resistance Hall effect analog sticks are its biggest selling point, and might warrant the cost for you. It supports Bluetooth, and it has a mode-switching button that lets it connect to more than just your Switch. However, it matches the feature set of the Switch Pro gamepad, including amiibo support and rumble (the haptics aren’t as satisfying as Nintendo’s).

Granted, the on-screen button prompts in Switch games may not accurately reflect the buttons on your controller, but this is a good, affordable option if you’re operating on a strict budget. After connecting my PlayStation 5’s DualSense, I was shocked to be able to play Splatoon 3 with accurate rumble and motion control support. With a push of a button on the dongle, you can pair a controller dating back to the Wii and PS3 era (you’ll need two USB Adapter 2s if you want to pair two of the supported controllers). It also has an amiibo reader, HD rumble, and a gyroscope. Unlike the Joy-Cons in their grip, which is two small controllers trying to act like one large controller, the Pro Controller feels like a complete package. It has a dedicated D-pad, larger face buttons, more prominent analog sticks, and much easier-to-hit shoulder buttons. This added bulk makes the controller feel more familiar and comfortable. The Pro Controller has a size and weight similar to other controllers from Sony and Microsoft. This standard-size controller fits most hands more comfortably than the Switch’s other alternative control scheme: two Joy-Cons affixed to the grip accessory that comes with the console. The Switch Pro is an easy recommendation that’s readily in-stock at most stores (it gets bonus point for being translucent).

If you’re looking to upgrade your controller experience on the Nintendo Switch, you might want to consider the first-party alternative: the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. I’m injecting my hands-on knowledge below with some of my favorite picks in addition to older options that we still love. In case you aren’t smitten with the tiny Joy-Con controllers that come bundled with the Switch and Switch OLED (or in case you’re looking for a less drift-prone alternative), there are some controllers that we recommend.
