I feel old and out of touch. I'm shopping online for a switch controller for my brother for christmas and I don't know what the else it is/looks like. Are wired controllers fine? Why are there gamepro ones that cost 3 times much, and what the hell is this joy con l/r thing??

It's a controller for the Nintendo Switch game system.
It should be with those systems on shelves.

Joy con are the actual name of the controller. L/R wuold dictate it being a left or right controller.

The Joy-Cons, as a pair, are the main controller for the system. There's also the Pro Controller, which is a more standard sort of controller.

You're probably looking for the pro controller as he should already have a pair of joycons. Unless he's asking for more joycons.

Yeah you should probably get him the pro controller. It's like 70 bucks but worth it.

Was it really that much? I don't remember it that much. That being said, I got it at a certain place. And with tax money... came out in March and all.

it's nintendo, they can charge whatever the fuck they want. but yeah, I was gonna buy myself another set of joy-cons and instantly decided not to when I saw they were $70. fucking crazy price for such a tiny and featureless set of controllers.

Looks like you can get a Pro Controller for about $61 on Amazon that is a heck of a deal over the MSRP.

Certain games are joycon only, so you need to find which game he is playing or wants them for, before you buy more controllers

It is awfully expensive, but at the same time, I didn't have to spend a cent on controllers for the WiiU, so I'm a little more open to spending more than usual for Switch controllers. I still haven't, since that's still a lot of money, but recognizing how much I save on WiiU controllers does soften the blow a bit.
