Hello, I've been enjoying using the controller for some time now, here are some of my thoughts on it:
-I'm a fan of its reliability as a wired controller. I've extensively used the Pro 2 and it had intermittent issues with connection and responsiveness (even when on a wired connection), so it's nice to have something that just works.
-Ergonomics are great as usual. I do think I prefer the d-pad and buttons both on the top, gives it that Super Nintendo-like feel that's perfect for playing retro games. Everything started out a little on the stiff side, but after using it for a while it's gotten more comfortable to use.
-One minor gripe I have is the ease of pressing the face buttons (or lack thereof) compared to the Pro 2, which I think stems from the fact that these buttons are rounded (rather than being cylindrical). It's not a deal breaker or anything, but there have been times where the face buttons were harder to press or release than I would have liked.
-This controller works both on PC and on Switch, but it doesn't seem like there is currently a way to set and use profiles on the Switch side of things, which makes the paddles redundant (I probably wouldn't use them much anyway), but more importantly prevents access to setting a capture button, leading to having to take out another controller just to take a screenshot.
It's quite a solid controller overall, and I don't regret buying it, but it would be nice to see some of those issues addressed. Thank you for reading this far, I hope you have a nice day.
P.S. If you made a Wired Pro 2 with Hall Effect I would totally buy it...!

It was difficult to find the right software, but afterwards no issues.
