I disagree. I find the dpad to be good enough. It isn't as nice as the 8bitdo's dpad but it is far from terrible. I have had one of these in the house since soon after the switch launched and not only does it still work like new it might be the most ergonomically comfortable controller I've ever owned. Highly recommended.
Don't know if this is still the case, but 3rd party controllers can't wake the console from sleep. That frustration alone would make this worth the higher price for me.
If you buy any gaming controller at bestbuy with the 2 year geek squad replacement plan, within 2 years you can use the warranty for lack of battery time, and they will give you a brand NEW controller (unlike gamestop warranties) or a giftcard for the value in store. Super easy and quick

Can anyone speak to how this compares against aftermarket controllers? Got one for $26 a while back and was used to beat Breath of the Wild so it was good enough for me. Wondering if this is worth the price over other options. Thanks!

One thing cheaper controllers lack is the Amiibo reader
I've heard that the dpad is terrible and the 8bitdo pro 2 is a better option. Anyone disagree?

And most of them also lack the ability to turn on the switch by holding the home button.
Not sure why the thumbs down. Make a list of 3rd party controllers that support the "wake console with the home button" functionality and a list of the ones that do NOT have that functionality. I guarantee you that the list for supporting the "wake function" will be SIGNIFICANTLY shorter. As a side note, I am not saying the Power A controller is not good, I have not personally used it so have no opinion on it and it probably has the wake functionality because it is actually "officially licensed by Nintendo."

Honestly, since you were able to get through BotW without one, I am sure you don't need one. I noticed a few other people have commented regarding 8bitdo controllers and I would highly agree. I have a few of their controllers and they have been great so far. I would recommend the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro (regular, + version or 2). The only one I don't have (YET) is the Pro 2 because it fluctuates in and out of stock.

The first-party controllers are the only controllers to buy. Any others are a waste of money.
The question is: will Walmart sell their Pro controller + Mario Kart Digital bundle again? That deal was the best by far. I think it was like $70 maybe

I hope this deal is still up when I try this in the morning

Can you explain how you replace them at bestbuy in two years?
