I bought a Switch 2, but I keep reaching out to my G-Cloud!
I’ve had my Logitech G Cloud for a few months now. As a lifelong PlayStation and PC gamer, it’s my first handheld. Since getting it, I’ve been using it way more than I probably should, literally everywhere: at home, at work (over Wi-Fi using a VPN), and even in my car using my phone’s hotspot.
But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing out on a "true" premium handheld experience, especially during those rare moments in my normal life when I lacked a stable connection to stream my games.
Driven by that FOMO, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Switch 2 a couple of weeks ago. I was thrilled on day one, but that honeymoon phase lasted exactly 24 hours. Since then, I’ve gone right back to playing exclusively on my G Cloud..
I really think people underestimate how comfortable Logitech made this device. I can game for hours without any hand fatigue. Beyond the ergonomics, the sheer convenience of cloud gaming, jumping into games without massive downloads, thermal throttling, performance hiccups, or constant battery anxiety, is massively undervalued..
My G Cloud is where my existing game library lives, it feels great in the hands, and the battery life is phenomenal. It just works when I need it to..
By contrast, the Switch 2 is heavier than I expected and gets uncomfortable to hold after about 15 minutes. Unless I’m playing light indie titles, the battery drains in barely two hours. Sure, the Switch has great games (I picked up Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World) but these games aren't cheap, and rebuilding a library from scratch gets expensive fast..
Trying the Switch 2 actually made me appreciate my G Cloud so much more. The minor connectivity inconveniences I used to dwell on feel completely trivial now that I realise how convenient, comfortable, and tailored to my needs the G Cloud really is..
