I really can't get used on the controller. Every time I play my son switch, I can play only a short period of time. The steam deck looks better in that regard.

Eh, the Pro controller is pretty decent. I very rarely play in handheld mode, but there are also more ergonomic options for that use case as well.

Yeah we swapped over to the PS5 DualSense. So much nicer.

Edit: only works on Homebrewed Switch sadly

You can get controller adapters to plug other controllers into the switch, you only need homebrew if you want to do it without anything extra.

I forget who makes them. It might be 8bitdo? There are probably a million clones by now though because this was something I remember seeing earlier on in the switch's lifecycle.
