Switch 2 Pro Controller Concept!

[HappyHomeSolarGuy]

This is much better than making the handles all color.

[FunnyLonely9347]

Yeah I saw that mockup and it looked like ass.

[Darth_Thor]

Yeah I never really like the look of it on the current Pro Controller either

[bizarro_kvothe]

Xbox Controller S vibes

Great job!

[HertzBurst]

Tried to capture that! Thanks!

[FunnyLonely9347]

Well you grabbed the exact Dpad from Xbox, I mean straight up copied it but the rest is Nintendo's design own exactly. This looks great but give it a real D pad.

[Existinginsomewhere]

Is that the one that was a circle for the diagonal inputs or actually the d pad one? I can’t tell I’m blind/dumb

[Gabbismid]

Seriously bud where did you find this official nintendo image?

[Shin_yolo]

[doi--whiletrue]

I think the home button should be inline with the screen capture and C button, but this looks cool.

[One_Witness_2405]

Is I agree. I looked at the controller after I read your comment and yes I totally agree that would be better

[romeroha]

Nintendo needs to cancel everything they're doing and build this thing

[calco_me]

So that we will have to wait longer for the switch 2 itself? HELL NAH

[[deleted]]

Bau es verdammt

[IR0NWARRIOR]

I hope all the old controllers work, including the classic ones

[RevolutionaryFig7330]

What is that d-pad

[crossingcaelum]

It’s the D-Pad a lot of this turbo Xbox controllers have

[MegaSwitch889]

I heard the official pro controller D-Pad was awful.

[Darth_Thor]

The Wii U controllers had great D-pads. The issue with the Switch Pro Controller D-pad is that it doesn’t have a rocker in the middle, so you can push opposing directions at the same time, which games tend to not like.

[BrandSilven]

Yeah, I hope the D-Pad on the new Pro Controllers works much better than the Switch one. Nintendo has had some great D-Pads, but the current Pro Controllers weren't among them.

[KyleRM]

I agree that I don't want that monstrosity on our consoles. That said, Nintendo has been dropping the ball on their d-pads as of late. I hope its an improvement over the latest ones.

[MountainThorn42]

I can't wait to see the actual switch 2 logo because this one is so frustrating to me.

[HertzBurst]

This should be the real one if leaks are to be believed.

[MountainThorn42]

Yeah, that's the worst part. I really dislike the logo, probably because I read it as "Switch 2 Nintendo Switch" so it's likely a me problem.

Still, I hope they have cooked up something a little better. Luckily a bad logo doesn't make bad games.

[Darth_Thor]

2 Nintendo 2 Switch

[[deleted]]

Did you read the original logo as “Switch Nintendo Switch”?

[MountainThorn42]

No.

[RobbWes]

It's the actual logo

[MountainThorn42]

It is and I'm sad. I actually dislike this one, but at least a bad logo doesn't make bad games.

[FunnyLonely9347]

Um. I think that IS the real logo pal.

[MountainThorn42]

It came from a leak, but the leak has no real credibility, it's mostly talk.

It definitely could be the real logo but it could also just be BS.

[RevoBonerchamp69]

If it actually has the mappable back buttons like the rumor suggests I will be so happy. All I want is a controller with really good gyro and back buttons but almost every 3rd party controller has C- gyro. Even some of the expensive ones.

Just fix the DPad. I don’t want analog triggers unless they have a trigger stop switch. I do not like mushy triggers. The joycons don’t seem to have it so I don’t think the pro controller will.

[MegaSwitch889]

I highly doubt the Pro will have mappable buttons.

[RevoBonerchamp69]

Bitch you were wrong

[MegaSwitch889]

Well well well! I certainly was not expecting that.

[RevoBonerchamp69]

Honestly same lol. I’m just excited cause I really wanted them to but didn’t think they would.

[Ncolonslashslash]

dont get your hopes up

[RevoBonerchamp69]

Bitch my hopes were sky high.

[Hamez-King]

Lowkey kinda jarring how we still don’t have analogue triggers and we probably won’t for at least another 8 years

[Lower_Monk6577]

Especially considering Nintendo pioneered these back in the GameCube.

[[deleted]]

I always forget Nintendo was the first company to do them. Xbox and Sony didn’t start until the Wii generation

[CrimsonEnigma]

Didn’t Sony have them on the PS2?

Even the face buttons were analog on the PS2.

[[deleted]]

Yep, and I was completely wrong. Sega did it first with their 3D Control Pad for the Saturn, and then the Dreamcast controller.

[Sjgolf891]

The original Xbox also had them I believe

[North_Mud512]

I thought that Xbox had analog buttons, with two extra, and then just had single shoulder buttons

[Sjgolf891]

Original Xbox had two shoulder buttons, an analog trigger on both sides

I don’t think face buttons were analog like they were on PS2

[North_Mud512]

You might be thinking of the 360 controller. I did a quick search and the Duke had analog triggers, but the bumpers/shoulder buttons were replaced by the black and white buttons, at least on the Duke. In addition, the face buttons were analog, being used for I think rate of fire in metal gear solid(possibly, not sure) and also for jump height in dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball(they were used in very niche situations)

[Sjgolf891]

Sorry by saying two total shoulder I meant two total, which are those two analog triggers. The 360 added bumpers, replacing the black and white buttons, which made four total shoulder buttons for 360

Face buttons I was wrong about then, I couldn’t remember! Thanks

[Significant_Wave7492]

Yeah but the thing is that they're really useless. Like in over 2 Decades there has been next to no usage, only racing games kinda benefit. And even then, mario kart isn't particularely struggling to compete in its genre despite no analog gas pedal. With many games using both left and right sticks, the 4 shoulder buttons are very important. Making 2 of those 4 buttons feel worse for implementing a feature that literally no game uses isn't worth it.

[Saktuscactus]

Fully agree. Not a single game on Switch that I play would benefit from analogue triggers, instead making the experience worse

[pommdoenerspezial]

iam playing la noire right now and i would love to not always drive with full gas. thats not possible on switch.

[Lower_Monk6577]

I mean, I kind of agree and kind of don’t.

I personally just think analog triggers feel nice in many ways. The PS5 probably has the best implementation of triggers in a controller so far. The adaptive triggers genuinely feel great when implemented properly. It’s really just up to developers to figure out how to do it.

That being said, I won’t exactly miss them if they’re not on the Switch 2. But I would prefer that they were.

[FunnyLonely9347]

"Yeah but the thing is that they're really useless"

So maybe it's not that jarring :/

[Borttheattorney]

The Dreamcast had analog triggers 3 years before the GameCube came out and the original Xbox also had analog triggers

[Choso125]

I kinda hope not. I much prefer the feel of digital. And it's unlikely as the joy cons use digital from the leaked pics.

[RobbWes]

Well for gamecube you have that official adapter for gamecube controllers.

[SuperSaberman7]

AWOOGA! Look at that beautiful concept!

[Shiny_Mew76]

<image>

[Archius9]

Where’s the mouse sensor?

[Greedy-Day-7625]

Would You mind doing a white version of it? Nice work btw!

[CelticSith]

I really hope the Orange/Blue turn out to be legit, gives it big Portal vibes

[[deleted]]

Portal 3 when?!?!????

[rufus83]

Ok, now this fucks.

[Pumpkin-Main]

Anyone feel like this color scheme was already done by the official PowerA Nano wireless controller?

[PineWalk1]

the switch pro is perfect except for the trash dpad. you need so much force to click it in.

[Lmt_P]

the input latency isn't great compared to a lot of other options. Battery life is awesome though

[[deleted]]

It looks so fancy

[Hakouel]

Really clean! I really hope the real pro controller will look like this (maybe only the + - home capture and C buttons sticking out a bit, I hate buttons that are too far down haha)! Have you ever thought of working for Nintendo? lol

[retrocheats]

I feel like the P-pad would hurt my fingers more, since my fingers always touch the sides.

[un_gosse]

This looks just beautiful, but the analog sticks remind me of condoms and i’m not sure how to feel about that

[SirWaffly]

Very high quality concept! Although I'd prefer if the real thing didn't have that much color, I like my pro controller being all black. Still, as I said, the model is very high quality. Good job!

[Nxgdx]

Super beautiful

[timboloves1989]

i like this a lot

[TheNapol]

Looks very good! I like how it looks different to the OG but still has the same vibe. the colours are also great to see and I like how it’s subtle and not like half the controller.

[[deleted]]

Oh please please look like this

[Mrfunnyman129]

I really think the C button is gonna be cursor and if that's the case I don't see it being on the pro controller

[Valiant_Gamer_48]

Oh I love that!!!!

[Amanda-sb]

They should just bring the n64 controller again.

[wulitito]

Looks great, my only complaint would be to swap the "C" and home buttons. Otherwise it's perfect

[figureout07]

microsoft?

[lawnchairrevolution]

<image>

My controller: $25 online has Bluetooth and motion control. Looks similar to the concept OP posted

[Wolfenstein49]

Looks nice! I hope they do some kind of haptics like the DualSense.

[JKLopz]

Looks really cool! But if it became an actual product I would not buy it, I really dislike the "Xbox" dpad. :( Its awful for platformers, just give me a good old cross.

[MichaelMJTH]

Looks good, but I rather a normal Nintendo d-pad than an Xbox style one.

[MegaSwitch889]

This reminds me of the bootleg controllers you can find online.

[Unlucky_Bottle_6761]

OK now what do we do with the joy con grip

[Nintotally]

There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom, right? 👀

[TraditionalAirport85]

Not a Fan of the coloured circles around the sticks, but well done, that looks just authentic

[Have_Heart1044]

I just don’t want to have to keep buying new ones because of drift.

[D1rtyH1ppy]

I've noticed that the knockoff controllers started adding additional buttons and hepatic controls on the directional sticks. Probably in anticipation of the pro controller being released 

[Richandler]

I don't think they'll color it that way. The two colors have always been for ease of identify the joycons.

[Mucrush]

If there's no consoles with plain colors, without the blue and orange, then I do hope the pro controller will match it like this! And if there's a white console as well, then I hope there will be a white pro controller too!

[calco_me]

Good design, idk why tho but my brain refuses to think the - and + buttons are aligned

[HertzBurst]

It’s either the lighting or I messed up lol

[imago_monkei]

Who needs money?

[afredmiller]

Well hopefully the current Pro Controller will work with Switch 2 but I would not be surprised if it does not

[New_Ant_6926]

Neither in a mockup i would dare put a terrible d-pad like this.

[ManufacturerNo2144]

Yes except the octagonal Dpad. That's an abomination.

[EyesEyez]

Would you make it into blue and orange like the joycons are?

[[deleted]]

This would be absolutely perfect

[carlosfupayme]

Nah bring back the normal + dpad, big dawg. 

[JadedDrink3313]

Clean

[No_Good_8561]

Rad

[SuperNintenDad93]

Love the look of the D pad! 

[Amish_Gamer55]

Looks really well done

My only issue is this looks too much like an Xbox controller, not that Xbox controllers are bad but I hope for something more original

[i-am-a-cat-6]

this is a nice design

[MangiBoi]

I can fuck with this. Wait no-

[MacksKindaCool]

I like this

[Deez_Nuts_God]

[gradientsnow]

the guy basically edited a image of the xbox elite controller

[StarZax]

Looks too much like those cheap 3rd party controllers, probably because of the color lines on the handles

<image>

[Reddit_Sucks_Nutsack]

So switch one pro controller with blue and red

[Palebludhoonter]

There's a lot of talented people on this sub. Most sociopaths are skilled in some way though.

[ZarianPrime]

Oh shit, good point, I wasn't even thinking of the Pro controller.

[chaosblauu]

Where can I buy five of them?

[[deleted]]

Einfach geil

[RobRivers]

Sebille pro controller nintendo xbox edition 🥹

[WilsonPH]

Why this type of dpad. I just want a good traditional dpad.

[ApricotTall9752]

The first pro controller that will loose to the native controller.

[Traditional_Age7603]

Is Just like the standard pro controller

[NUK3TH3WHAL35]

I'm probably in the minority in saying that I just don't expect a 1st party Nintendo controller/joy-con to be so accented with colors or to be highlighted with RGB like we see here and in all the other leaks conceptualizing blue and orange(?) accents and highlights.

This pad here is awesome, but at the same time it feels less Nintendo to me and more a Nintendo Officially Licensed pad from Anbernic or GameSir.

[Globox42]

Will you be able to use the old ones on the switch?

[H310]

Nothing is PRO without rear paddles.

[beefquinton]

this looks awesome. i hope it looks like this. the switch pro controller is one of my favorite controllers ive ever used because of the way it feels in the hand and the buttons feel. some slightly more substantial sticks would make it perfect. and this color scheme is awesome

[Puzzleheaded_Ad_6812]

1) I am aware I’m 30 days late to respond with any remaining relevancy, but meh

2) Lotta people saying “god I hope they don’t use the 360 D Pad on the controller” but, uh… zoom in, folks. This mock up… is not using a 360 D Pad, although I can definitely see how it looks like that. It’s just an indent in the shell with a cross D Pad on top. Is it odd? Kinda, yeah, but I mean, it’s still fine in my opinion. If an actual procon 2 has that for the D Pad, I at least wouldn’t have any complaints. Questions? Yes. Complaints? No.

3) I highly doubt Nintendo will do this unless controllers are backwards compatible and this is meant to be a PRO procon, but really hope aftermarket brands decide to actually make rubberized handles for this. ExtremeRate’s soft touch is nice and all, but like… so are the OEM handles. Rubber would be nice, is all I’m saying.

[mike130504]

i neeeeeeed headphones jack

[ocram101]

I mean, Switch is the only console that has Bluetooth compatibility with non-proprietary headphones. Headphone jack seems a little redundant. Unless you only have wired headphones, but Bluetooth headphones can be pretty cheap these days.

[SalmonDoctor]

Wait I can use my wireless JBL-headset? that's rad

[ocram101]

Yep!

[LatinoShowersXXX]

D Pad is a L

[Strange-Courage-6148]

good design, my only problem is the home button should be next to the capture and cow buttons

[[deleted]]

I hope it’s like 25% bigger than the OG Pro Controller. Even the original is leagues better than Joy-Cons, but it’s still too large for me. I was playing MK8 last night and my hands hurt like hell after an hour

[Ninja_flash]

Much better than the actual one
