Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller is pro enough for me

Summary
According to The Verge, the new Switch 2 Pro controller is more of a pro-grade controller than its predecessor, with more features such as two extra buttons embedded on each side, which can be programmed for use with specific games.
The controller also boasts a 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing gamers to listen to game audio and GameChat chatter through wired headphones or a headset.
It also allows the Switch 2 console to be woken from sleep by using the controller.
While the new controller has some appealing features, it is rather expensive at $84.99 and still uses potentiometer joysticks which are prone to drift.
However, The Verge suggests that it is still likely to be worth the extra functionality it offers, even though it is likely that third-party manufacturers will produce alternatives offering the same features at a lower price.
