By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

While the accessory offers Hall effect sticks, a feature that was beneficial for the original Switch, the placement of the stick and face buttons is too close for comfortable use. This proximity issue prevents the accessory from achieving its full potential. AI
