Hey y'all, my father in law recently got a Switch of his own. He's visually impaired and while the joycons work okay with him, I'm looking for any sort of controller that would work a lot better for him. Any ideas?

There are many gamecube inspired controllers for the switch, which I imagine would help since each button has a unique shape to them. I've linked a few below.
Out of curiosity though, how does a visually impaired person see the screen to play the game?

A good budget option, but this model's c-stick (yellow joystick) is notorious for breaking. But I've been using mine for 5ish years and haven't experienced any troubles. This one is also a reimagining of the GameCube controller it was based on, so the d-pad and c-stick are larger and more comfortable to use.

The wireless option is very nice, and this is usually my go to for games like Smash or Slap City. This one has a lot of rumble, and the d-pad and c-stick are as small as they were on the original gamecube, making them less comfortable to use.

Hope this helps!
