 So I'm going to talk about something here that might seem inconsequential to some people But it's actually really bothering me about this pro controller And I'm sure some of you are experiencing this and maybe not saying anything because it's not unheard of with controllers for this to happen But this is the first controller. It's happened to in my life that it's actually Bothered me. So what am I talking about with the Nintendo switch pro controller? I'm talking about this See if that focuses in there Look at that grind See how well it's really bad on the right side more so than any other side but it is happening all around the stick and It's happening on this stick as well although to a lesser degree since I do not Use the right stick as much for movement as I use the less stick now for full disclosure This is my second pro controller. So you have one box Two box and I was looking at buying the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 pro controller. I Have decided against it because of this issue and it's not like it's exclusive to this if you look at Another controller, right? This is another. This is a wired Nintendo switch controller. I Forget which company made it power a If you look it's grinding on here as well However, I can't tell when I'm going around like this. I can't feel that grind I don't feel the grooves it feels just like it did when I first used it But when I use the pro controller, I Don't know if you can hear it It's not really an audible sound, but it's a feeling and the problem I'm running into and you can even see some of the dust there along the side is that it's Affecting me when I play games It's affecting me in odyssey. It's affecting me most recently in Breath of the Wild and I'm afraid it's gonna affect me in Xenoblade Chronicles now. Is it making me like the worst player in the world? No But this is the first time that the grind on these sticks has bothered me on a controller I have you know Xbox one controller. See if I have it laying around Okay, I don't know my Xbox one controller on me right now But that controller also has some grind But I can't feel it when I'm using when I spin the stick around. I'm not feeling it But I'm really feeling the grind on this right at this point and this point And the problem is when you're playing Splatoon or you're playing any game that uses this left stick for motion It's throwing me off. It's throwing me not only out of the game because I can feel that grind But it's also making me less accurate with certain things like I want to move say In this direction here, but then it gets caught See you see a jump there. Yeah, I don't know if you could tell it's like it's like making this millimeter jump that I'm not telling it to do but that's because that's where the groove is pushing me and If I had to say something that is the one flaw. I think I exist with most controllers the grind That I'm surprised I haven't found a way to fix the grind at this point But is really bothering me about the switch pro controller and what we have to remember is that this is a $70 controller I've bought in two of them so I spent $140 and the reason I got a second one in the first place was because the first one grinded so bad I don't I don't even have it anymore I should I sent it into the Nintendo taking advantage of my warranty still haven't got it back Which I'm surprised because he figured they would just send you a new one But the grind on it was so bad That you would go like this and then it would get stuck right in the spot I would move the sticker out and boom. It's stuck. I can't move it off there without a massive jump and it's starting to happen to this one too and This bothers me $70 product. It's not going to be under warranty forever and I'm experiencing an issue With severe grind and here's the thing I wouldn't even call myself, you know a person that's playing the switch for many many hours per day because I'm not but I do play it several hours weekly and This to me is just unacceptable not only the grind itself, which is wearing down the sticks But also the fact that it's affecting me as I spin the stick around I mean, especially right there. That's like the worst spot As I spin the stick around like you're mostly okay. Mostly okay. Mostly okay. Bam right there There's resistance and that resistance is unnatural so I There isn't really much I could do about it except send the controller into Nintendo For repair, which means they're either gonna just send me a brand new pro controller Which I figure they want to dump my now since I sent my last one in like a month ago They still haven't gotten them back to me again. It should probably check up on that Or they're just gonna literally take out the stick and put a new one in And they might do it on both sides, but the problem is gonna persist because This isn't a manufacturing issue This is a design flaw and I don't really know what they can do about it But it's the first controller it really bothers me again The grind is happening on this one to a lesser degree because I do use this controller less often You can see it's all the way around But it feels natural. I don't feel any resistance from it. Whereas this one. There's a resistance point right Right there Right there and that that's not good You can see that's actually where the grind is at the worst is right up there So, yeah Not happy about that as I went to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 today But it is what it is Anyways folks I'm Nathaniel Ruffeljantz from Nintendo Prime if you like this video You know what to do and if you dislike the video hit that dislike button I just really wanted to show you guys some issues.
