Last week I shared a couple sites relating to a videogame that I play. This week, I'm going to share about two different controllers that I use for my games. I have a Nintendo Switch, and have two different controllers. One is Nintendo brand, and the other is an "off brand," Beboncool, which is compatible with the Switch gaming console.
At first glance, they look practically the same. But after using both, I can say with confidence that they are not. No surprise, I prefer the Nintendo name brand controller. It is heavier/sturdier, the buttons are arranged more like the original controller for the Switch, the battery charge lasts longer, and it is much more intuitive to subtle finger movements during play.
There is nothing wrong with the Beboncool, and it makes a great backup. But it's not as user friendly. It won't turn on the console like the Nintendo one will (I have to get up, go walk to my television, and turn it on), the charge doesn't last nearly as long, and the buttons are not as sensitive/intuitive.
Like many times, going with something other than a name brand can have its downside. Of course, these items are generally cheaper... which is why I have the Beboncool. Again, there's nothing wrong with it, but Nintendo is definitely more concerned about the user experience. In this case, you pay for quality... but the quality is worth it.
