I hope it works out. I’ve tried a bunch of aftermarket Switch controllers and none of them are as good as the OG Switch controller. It’s a little more expensive, but it does the job.

When we were able to acquire a Switch during the pandemic (without paying markup!), I wanted to be sure everyone could play coop and battle games, so I picked up two of these. I believe they were around $30 each at the time and were the highest rated on a number of forums. As @CMUwriter points out, they aren’t quite as good as the Pro, but pretty damn close with the added bonus of turbo settings. They’ve held up really well, though I don’t think it gets a lot of use compared to the one Pro controller we have.

Are these able to “wake up” your Switch by pressing the bottom right Home button, like the Pro controller? That would be pretty cool if it did.

I’m not sure. I usually come into a session already begun, so I haven’t had the opportunity to notice.
The questions on Amazon are a little unclear. The seller says no, but an end user says yes. I’d go test them out, but we’re moving and everything’s packed away at the moment.
