A. Cheaper but joycon doesn't have good joystick, break often.
B. More expensive, but there are more option for better ergonomic, features or durability.
C. I tried this, too clunky, heavy as heck.

• Alternative Joy-con

GRIP RECOMMENDATIONS

● Official Nintendo Switch Joycon Grips
Nintendo's site for accessories
There are several versions, find them in your favorite stores.

● Officially Licensed by Nintendo: RDS Industry & Hori

● 3rd party but highly recommended: Skull&Co & Satisfye

● Others: JE Tech, Mumba, Butterfox, Fixture grip for Pro con

※ Note:: Make sure you buy a screen protector, as the grips can scratch the screen. Screen protector recommendations can be found by doing the protector tag.

These should cover all the types

#

Tbh this is up to your own preferences and budget.
Heck, if you want to train your arms, get the fixture to save (if you already have a Pro con).

#

Some people find joycon just fine, some don't (me included)

#

I did play through BotW with joycon, but after that I rarely use it.

#

And since I'm helping people on this channel, I know how often joycon get issues.
