I don't even mean the drift. They're just shitty controllers in every way. They focused on portability, which is terrible for comfortable controllers.

I don't own one, but I've used them enough to know I hate everything about their feel. Buttons are terrible.

I hate everything about them.

They got so close to perfect with the GameCube, and it's been a steep ride down into hell ever since.

Wii U's controllers were ok, but the confusion about which controller worked for what was a mess in general (ie what needed the gamepad vs what could be played with a regular controller or wiimote even), and their idea to switch the button placement and joystick placement on the right was just objectively wrong.

Maybe I'm weird, but I prefer the Joycons over any other Switch controller I've tried, including their Pro controller. It is SO NICE to be able to position my hands wherever I like, to the point where holding a standard controller basically feels like handcuffs. Even using my Xbox controller on pc feels bad in comparison. Also worth noting that 99%+ of my play time is docked.
