Got an "out for delivery" notification and literally 5 minutes later a "delivered" one.

Went to the front door and sure enough, there it is.

That porch pirate nearby:

Got mine, and now just waiting for all my **** to redownload onto Switch 2. Also, going to have to do a firmware update on all my 8 bitdo controllers, sigh.

I'm totally not jealous of people who have a Switch 2 and are playing Mario Kart World as we speak.

Open source Switch 2 adapter brings M.2 NVMe SSD to Nintendo's latest console — MicroSD Express and NVMe share a similar pinout that could even theoretically support an eGPU

This works due to Nintendo’s use of the SD Express 7.1 standard.

Okay, got the firmware update on my 8bitdo controllers, and now I don't have to use the joy cons.

First thing I did is buy a Pro Controller. Expensive but worth it. I'm not a fan of the joy cons.

The Pro Controller does have the benefit of being able to turn your switch on. Also able to read amiibo.

But I love my 8bitdo controllers. Sort of had to buy a few when they released all the different translucent colors.

No, Nintendo's official Switch 2 Pro Controller. Last one they had in stock at the store too.

 

[Gee]

The Joy-Cons and even the Pro controller tend to drift eventually so the 8BitDo controllers with hall-effect joysticks are definitely an upgrade.

So 8BitDo recently updated the Pro 2 with hall-effect sticks? I see it's currently -20% on Amazon but as a Canuck who's boycotting Amazon I'll have to settle with my old Ultimate.

You can buy directly from their site. Though I suspect, they do some warehousing with Amazon.

I have two Switch 1 Pros and neither has drifted in the slightest in several years. I did have the problem with the original PS5 controller though.

I checked earlier and they had Amazon US/UK links but I didn't look under the "Shop" menu.

Pro 2 would come to about $75 CAD after shipping fees and taxes. Not bad.

The Joy-Cons on my Switch were starting to drift when I gave it to my niece. I never owned the Pro controller but I had a co-worker that owned two and both drifted, and he told me he barely used them. I guess he possibly got two lemons...
