The Nintendo Switch has been an instant hit since its launch in 2017, but it still has its flaws. Due to various factors, including hand fatigue, gradual wear and tear, and the high price of Switch Joy-Cons, gamers have been looking elsewhere.
The Best Joy Cons for the Nintendo Switch
Below you'll find our pick of the best third-party Joy-Cons to try out this year.
With its Pro gamepad design and custom LEDs, the binbok Joypad for Switch is the best overall on this list. The binbok Joypad’s LEDs surround the concave thumbsticks on both controllers. The housings of the controllers are rounded, giving it a more ergonomic feel than the small and flat shape of the original Joy-Cons.
The LEDs come in eight different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and rainbow. The colors can be displayed in three different lighting modes, including two breathing effects and a static color mode. On the left Joy-Con, the directional buttons are replaced with a D-pad, which many gamers prefer on a gamepad.
