If you’re keen on getting an extra controller for your Nintendo Switch 2 but are wary of spending a lot, there’s good news: cheaper third-party options offer great features without breaking the bank.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is impressive, with its 3.5mm headphone jack and advanced rumble technology. However, it costs $89.99—a significant amount for a single controller. There are affordable alternatives that deliver quality ergonomics and unique functions, such as Hall effect or TMR joysticks.
Our top pick, the EasySMX S10, is nearly as comfortable to use as Nintendo’s flagship gamepad but is $30 cheaper at $59.99. It features TMR joysticks, amiibo support and great rumble feedback. However, it does have some divisive aspects, like its clicky buttons.
For those who want native Switch 2 OS support without the higher price tag, the EasySMX S10 Lite is a worthy mention at $39.99. It lacks HD rumble and amiibo support but offers easier setup and connectivity to the Switch 2.
