My one gripe about the pro controller is I actually think the dpad is really bad. It's super mushy and doesn't feel like you're making concrete inputs.

I inadvertently fixed this by modding mine to fix the "unintended inputs" problem -- the pivot point in the center of the D-pad isn't tall enough. Just a few little square layers of tape placed over the pivot point raises the D-pad the slightest amount and makes it feel much more solid and clicky. Too much tape raises it too much and makes it feel way too stiff and difficult to use; just something that takes a little trial and error.

Everyone from the last page who have lovely D-pads that trigger wrong inputs, do this, it works.

Bought a switch for my gf and zelda and holy poo poo its pretty good. Mario is killer too. So now i want another dock of course and nintendo those fuckers want 60 loving dollars. So the alternatives rhat are sane are talking about well its just a shell you gut your box and put it here etc. Are there off brand docks? Those fuckers. I literally loled i had forgotten nintendos ways. Before i pay 60 dollars for a plastic taco i figured i should check. Really digging it though otherwise.

that leak was signs for the public stations at their show floor booth, the Direct will cover more than just what's playable at the expo.

The Switch tax strikes again!

A Magical High School Girl - $14.99 / £12.00 / €13.00
Digital - [NA] [EU]
A Magical High School Girl is a magic crafting rogue-like RPG! The only weapon you possess is the magic you conjure from within. You can freely name your magic. The elemental properties and effects are generated automatically with what you typed in.

Has anyone played this? Its on iOS / Android and Steam for much cheaper and it looks pretty good but 14.99 good? Thoughts?

Did it stop working completely or just stop connecting to the Switch? Mine started refusing to connect and after rebooting the Switch and reflashing the current firmware to the controller a couple of times it randomly decided to start connecting again and I haven't had any issues since. I think I also told my Switch to forget all paired controllers at one point, that may have helped. Maybe try that first? It's stupid easy to re-pair joycons.

It's more than a pairing issue. No matter what I do I can't get even get it to switch over to other controller modes. My computer detects that something is connected but it's not picked up as a controller and no amount of trying to push the XInput button combo will actually get it to connect anymore. How do you go about reflashing the firmware?

Go to the Firmware tab on this page, find your controller, and follow the instructions in the "update log". Use the cable that came with the controller, the random one I had lying around didn't work. Update programs are available for Windows and MacOS, the Windows version might work through WINE if you're running *nix.

As long as you have both USBs in to power it, I assume so, but you can probably only fit two because the ports are close together, unless you also use extension cords or something

The controller ports are spaced exactly the same as on the original GameCube, which means you can use 4 at a time. I've done exactly that with my set. They're awesome Mariokart controllers.

Well I was apparently able to update the firmware from 1.03 to 1.25, but I still have the problem that it refuses to detect my controller and the four lights on the bottom just keep blinking back and forth as long as it's turned on. I tried rebooting the Switch, I tried turning the controller on and off a bunch, changing input modes, nothing. I'll try the firmware a few more times I guess.

edit: of course, I post this and suddenly it's working on my PC again. I'll try the Switch next.

If you haven't gone into the Switch settings and told it to delete all the paired controllers I'd try that next, I think that might have been the final piece of the puzzle that made my controller work again.

I didn't have to do this in the end, it finally managed to sync up once I found the box and manual and closely read everything. I was missing the final step of going into Change Grip/Order and waiting for it to sync up. Thanks for your help regardless, I wouldn't have thought to update the firmware on my own.

Supposedly it was in development before Overwatch was revealed, if you believe that, but there are lots of characters that are real similar to OW characters mechanically. It plays like a weird hybrid of OW/TF style shooter and MMO PvP though, there are mounts and lots of crowd control abilities. But also now its a battle royale game.

This is literally the first time I've heard of Paladins........ I dont know how that came to be, but I just watched a couple minutes of youtube on it and it looks pretty cool and looks like it can scratch that OW itch I have.

Seems like its also free? Is it free in the same way Fortnite is (free-to-play, pay for cosmetics), or is it free to play, pay to win?
