Hey everyone! I’m thinking about upgrading my controllers for PC gaming and wanted to ask what’s the best Joy-Con alternative you’ve tried recently? I’m looking for something reliable, comfortable, and responsive for long gaming sessions.
If you have found a hidden gem or a solid upgrade, I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and any tips for getting the most out of it!





If you’re looking for Joy-Con alternatives for PC gaming, great options include the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller, Hori Split Pad Pro, and PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller, all offering solid build quality and Bluetooth connectivity. The 8BitDo models are especially popular for their customization and compatibility, while Hori provides a comfortable grip and responsive controls. These choices deliver a Joy-Con–like feel with better ergonomics and PC support. Nulls Brawl
Has anyone tried using Switch-style controllers on PC? I was thinking about Joy-Con alternatives but not sure if they actually map well without extra software. In my last Pc builds project I had to tweak drivers a lot, so I’m wondering if controllers are just as tricky.
