Nice, I love my Ultimate and I'm glad it will also be usable if/when I get a Switch 2.
The company said more updates are coming soon.
Also nice to hear. Hope the Micro gets an update, I often use it for "low interaction" games like VNs and it's also good for small kids, my nieces really like it.

I may get Ultimate 2, instead of Nintendo Switch Pro 2 Controller. Ultimate 2 has TMR sticks, which are supposedly better than Hall-effect (or newer tech than hall-effect, something like that).
Edit: Noticed that there's 8bitdo Pro 2 too, so clarified that I am talking about the official Nintendo Switch Pro 2 Controller.

TMR sticks, from what I understand, have the hardiness of the Hall-effect sticks but use less power.

I think we discussed this before, but how's micro in actual use?

It's not a comfortable controller for adults, but it's a complete controller with all buttons that is very small.
It's good for young kids or if you want something small you can carry around for quick sessions on the go - I used it several times to play simple games like Vampire Survivors while cycling on the gym.
I also use it for VNs at home - in those games you're very often just pressing a button to move the text forward, so I hold with the buttons facing up, kinda like a small TV remote.

Ah okay, thanks for the info.

IMO the SN/SF30 series is great if you want compact and still good for actual gameplay.
Though you have to be able to grip it the old Super NES way, from the sides, held by fingers and with thumbs resting diagonally on the buttons. I discovered some people didn't like it but they were mostly holding it weird. Like cradling it uncomfortably in their palms with thumbs coming from the bottom...

Ah, cool!
Yes, I've had someone mod my Pro Controller with Hall Effect sticks after it started drifting, and it's noticeable that the battery lasts less now.
Of course, it still lasts a LONG time.

Ahan, never thought of joy sticks using any battery or making any difference in that. Interesting.
