Sometimes you just want a standard controller to play your favorite action titles - and standard in 2020 means something like you’d get packed in with an Xbox, with grips for the heels of your hands, shoulder buttons and triggers, two thumb sticks, a set of four buttons on the right and a D-pad on the left. PowerA makes an excellent $25 charging station that can be plugged into your Switch dock (or any device with a USB port) and handles four Joy-Con-like controllers at once - that includes third-party gamepads as well as Nintendo’s own Switch-compatible NES controllers (see below). Which means you’re going to need a place to charge the spares in between gaming sessions. If you like to play your Switch with groups (or you’ve experienced the dreaded “drift” issue), chances are you’ve picked up one or two extra pairs of Joy-Cons. But it also makes the entire assembled Switch a lot chunkier. It has a D-pad on the left side and a more ergonomic grip than your standard set of Joy-Cons. If you’re looking for something that’s also more comfortable in your hand, the company’s Split Pad Pro is also worth a look. For example, if you like to play a lot of 2D platformers in handheld mode, Hori’s D-pad controller will restore the beloved cross-shaped directional button to your gameplay. But there are some tradeoffs that are worth it. Some Joy-Con-like controllers won’t connect wirelessly, while others lack key features like vibration or an NFC reader. There’s really no good way to replace the Joy-Cons entirely with a third-party copy.
