If you mean controllers and not joycons, just get the 8bitdo adapter for the PS4 controller. That's the cheapest way of getting a reliable controller (assuming you have a PS4 controller already).

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

Meh, PS4 controllers aren't built much better than the joy-cons. Over the past eight years I've gone through five PS4 controllers. D-pads wearing out, analog sticks failing to return to center, face buttons not registering presses, etc.

@Magician I do not know how you play but I am on my 3rd year with my PS4 Pro and the controller is just as good as on its day one.

The only controllers I've had issues with (in all my gaming) are on the Switch.

I've had my PS4 controller for 5 years and not had a single problem with it. I use it for both PS4 and Switch and it still works perfect.

My White PS4 controller is already more than 3 years as my PS4 Slim and still working perfectly.

For those that play in handheld mode I'd recommend waiting for a possible Switch Lite OLED model that will be much cheaper and have a D-pad.

OLED oh please, that alone shouldn't justify the price tag. If that was the OLED 4K unit Docked sure. But I think Nintendo missed a good marketing Console that could've enshrined them as a Innovative Game Console maker. But they choose to go down the wrong path and do gimmick upgrades in the OLED version but they did something better with v2 Switch upgrade. And since this is only Display upgrade not GPU upgrade you really got nothing in return if even if your a portable gamer-still get the same performance with nothing to show for it. And the Pandemic shouldn't have deter them from doing something Innovative.

It's unfortunate because in this day and age you may have to decide on purchases like this months ahead of time and pre-order immediately or else you're at the mercy of the internet resellers.

Even though most of the advantages improve handheld, the wired LAN port boosts docked and table top is better with the new stand. The other changes (storage, screen) make the improvements worth around $50 but that's not a fact, you could think otherwise.

I don't think the improvements are worth a 50$ higher price tag, since the parts that stay the same should be cheaper to produce in the meantime.

If you already have v2 Switch don't bother getting one-your spending more money for a Display that is only good as the LCD that came with the same Chipsets. That alone doesn't justify the price tag even if you got more ram 64gb that does little to improve gaming performance. They still have v2 Switches out there and a OLED isn't going to improve gaming performance other then drain your funds faster. Worse if you Dock the OLED does nothing for performance on HDTV output at 1080p or output to 4K TV. It will look the same regardless.
