Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller could feature two big upgrades

Nintendo might finally make its controller worthy of the Pro name on Switch 2

I’m a big fan of the current Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, though it isn’t without its flaws. The D-Pad is arguably the worse one Nintendo has ever produced, registering false inputs all over the place, and the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack was a real pain before Nintendo eventually rolled out Bluetooth support for the Switch. Hopefully, Nintendo will also use Hall Effect analog sticks to eliminate stick drift, similar to the Mobapad N1 HD and many other excellent third-party controllers, and keep the Pro Controller’s incredibly battery life.
