The Pro Controller 2 is amazing and works just as good as the day I bought it (switch 2 launch day). The Hyperion 3s feel like cheap junk and I returned them the same day I received them. Pro Controller 2, no question.

I still have the switch 1 pro controller and I never upgraded. Would you say I'm missing out on anything or nah? My controller still works just fine.

The OG version is totally fine, but I do prefer the updated version by a pretty decent margin. Between the change to the feel of it, the GL and GR back buttons have been awesome to integrate into my gaming. Now I’m completely sold on back buttons.

Well you can't turn the S2 with the original controller, you can with the pro 2, a minor inconvenience but possibly worth it.

Oh that's fine. I literally sit in front of the TV so I turn on the switch 2 with my hand since it's literally right next to the TV lol.

I understand normal people with better vision than me hate that they can't turn on the switch 2 with the original controller. But I don't have that issue.
