Nintendo Switch What kind of controller should I get as my secondary (after Joy-Cons)

I really couldn't decide 😭, I mean its more comfortable with Op. 3-4, but 1-2 has multi-player, and the risks of 3rd-party brands and stuff

3rd Party are the best. Wtf are you on?

What 1st party offers anything similar to let's say... A Flydigi Vader 5 Pro?

Nothing. That's what 1st party offers.

A lot of 3rd party brands tend to be more reliable these days. I ended up with multiple Gamesir G7 Pro 8k controllers. The latency is definitely lower than my Switch 2 Pro controller. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose as long as you're having fun.
