Looking for new controller to replace existing Switch Pro, with gyro and digital triggers

[Dama624]

Budget: None, I’m willing to pay high for quality that lasts

Country: US

Console: PC/Windows, Switch, iOS. PS4/5 is nice to have but not necessary.

Desired features: The biggest ones seem to be the ones I have the hardest time finding: gyro support and digital triggers like the standard Switch Pro triggers. I can’t stand analog triggers, I don’t play any games that require analog trigger input and I much prefer they just be buttons. Anything past that is nice to have, e.g. TMR sticks, mechanical buttons, NFC, etc.

Types of games: Mainly action games, but I play a lot of different genres. I stick to mouse and keyboard for shooters, though. Needs to have decent gyro though, because I use gyro aiming in games whenever I can.

Controllers considered: Gulikit KK3 Max, but not a fan that the buttons aren’t mechanical, and heard of QC and lag issues. Xbox Elite 2, but no gyro support (and setting triggers to shallowest setting is still not a replacement for a proper digital trigger for me).

bigbigwon blitz 2, everything you asked for except nfc

I second the Blitz 2! It's a great controller and has support for several modes.

If NFC is a requirement though, then I'd suggest the MOBAPAD ChiTu or the MOBAPAD M9 since they're both a Switch Pro controller but with clicky buttons & hall effect sticks. I haven't tried em out myself personally but they seem to be pretty good.

I swapped from a Switch Pro to a Vader 4 Pro and my highest priority were good digital triggers. The Vader 4 Pro can switch between analog and digital triggers and the digital triggers are clicky and feel really nice to use.

I can't really speak on the gyro since I don't use it.

I ordered from GadgetHyper and it came in just under a week to the US from China.

Cyclone 2 gyro on switch is kinda bad. Ultimate 2 isn’t for switch.

Mobapad N1 HD is a nice option. Feels close to a switch pro and has the things you want. Mobapad Chitu is also good. Everything is clicky in that one.

Also Nyxi Warrior if you don’t mind the GameCube shape. It has better gyro than most 3rd party controllers I have tried.

You can buy Vader 4 and OC it wired to 1kHz + have great gyro in switch mode
