What Nintendo Switch controller to choose?

Since there are various joypads released for this console, both by Nintendo and third-party companies, your choice mainly depends on your preferences. If you’re having troubles picking a Nintendo Switch joypad, consider these factors:

• Wired or wireless – some controllers can be connected both via a wireless connection and a USB cable. Other models always have to be connected via a cable. Also consider that while wired gamepads have a quicker response time, wireless ones are more convenient for comfortable gaming at any distance;
• First-party or third-party – official Nintendo licenced joypads usually don’t deviate from the core design and include all appropriate hardware. The company also offers a wide array of models in different colours and themes. Third-party ones offer an even bigger variety of shapes, sizes, and sometimes even aesthetic flourishes not found in first-party gamepads;
• Features – some specific Nintendo games might require features and inputs that only first-party controllers have to play certain titles properly. Some models have additional buttons that might be either useful or distracting, depending on what kind of games you’re planning on playing.
