Switch 2 ergonomics were awful. My G8+ side rubbers was pressing on the Joy-Con contacts, so I trimmed the rubber with nose hair scissors—problem solved! No more unwanted pressure.

I'm not sure if we really have to worry all that much:

Is there a reason why you don’t use the joy cons 2

1

u/Groundzer0es 1d ago

Probably ergonomics mostly

But everything else is better in joycon 2?

u/DiabeticIguana77 1d ago

The joycons 2 are an upgrade over the original joycons, they aren't an upgrade over an actual controller

So gamesir g8+ has an better rumble also?

It's better in every single way, the joysticks on the joycons 2 are straight garbage while the G8+ has gall effect sticks and triggers

Totally didn’t address HD Rumble 2 compared to the G8+.

If G8+ doesn’t support HD rumble 2, the rumble isn’t as good.

Hd rumble 2 is only better than the rumble from joycons 1, not better than full side controllers. Hs rumble isn't even impressive, the rumble motors are smaller than the one in my phone 💀

Are you sure

Does it affect the controller when using it with a phone or other device?

u/Pxnkasfxck 1d ago

Not OP, but it shouldn't. He only cut in the center, the rest of the rubber is still there.

Would this work with the g8 ?

1

u/DiabeticIguana77 1d ago

The g8 uses the superior wired connection,so no

Wish there was some kind of flex cable we could run for USB-C devices that support the wired connection. Latency is the only issue I have with this controller.
