At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

The D-pad on the Switch Pro Controller is hot garbage. Unless they changed it.

Admittedly I don't use the D-pad all that much - does it not register inputs well? I guess it's pretty important if you're playing a fighting or retro game that require precise inputs. For the games I've played, it hasn't been an issue.

The contacts inside are too big and sensitive and it results in phantom inputs. The DIY fix is to open up the controller and literally cover parts of the input contacts with tape.
