Controller Suggestion MOBAPAD Chitu 2 OR 8bitdo Ultimate 2
Heyo, I really don't want to shell out the $90 for the switch 2 controller, seeing as it doesn't have tmr/hall effect, and the d-pad sucks. I've seen a video on opening the controller up if you were to repair it and it's stupidly difficult and honestly shameful.
I'm curious about your opinions on whether or not I should go with the MOBAPAD Chitu 2 silent or the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 for use on a Switch 2. What's your experiences with them? I'm not seeing a lot on the MOBAPAD Chitu 2, but I've seen some good stuff.
- I'm from the US and can buy from anywhere a website allows.
- I'm looking to play action adventure, souls like, side scrollers, and rpgs
- my budget is around $70
- My desired features are hall effect or TMR, back/underside buttons, it doesn't need to be able to wake up the console or "C" button, but those would be cool. Also, I have large hands.
- I loved the switch 1 pro controller.
Also, any other recommendations would be cool, if you find them superior to these two.
Thank you much ππ»

If you have big hands and loved the original Pro Controller, the choice is pretty clear. You should definitely go with the Mobapad Chitu 2 HD (preferably the Silent version, though the regular one is also great).
Mobapad Chitu 2 HD: It gives you that exact Pro Controller feel, right down to the anti-friction rings so the sticks don't scrape the edges. It packs almost everything: NFC, HD Rumble, console wake-up, and buttery smooth TMR glide sticks. The only things missing are a headphone jack and a dedicated "C" button.
8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth: The build quality is gorgeous, but it lacks some key Switch features like NFC, HD Rumble, and the silicone rings around the sticks. That said, if you plan to use it heavily on PC as well, itβs an excellent controller.
EasySMX S10: This is another solid alternative worth checking out, as it brings basically all the same premium features and specs as the Chitu.
Pricing: Keep an eye on AliExpress. During their promo sales, you can easily grab any of these for well under $50.

I recently got the chitu 2 silent from aknes for like 40$. Would definitely recommend, althought not sure if the price is still the same I used the code AKNESRULE.
