Although more expensive than an off-brand controller I tried, it's worth it

Although more expensive than an off-brand controller I tried, it's worth it
I compared the Ralthy controller to the official Nintendo Pro controller (henceforth "Pro controller"). In short, the Pro controller is far superior and the better purchase. Read on below to understand why I think so.HAND COMFORTThe most important aspect of a controller is how it feels in your hand — after all, if you're going to be playing for hours, you want it to be comfortable. The Ralthy controller is not nearly as comfortable or ergonomic as the Pro controller; it feels flat in parts where the Pro controller comfortably hugs your hand. This seems independent of hand size, as my girlfriend also agrees and she has very small hands (whereas I can easily palm a basketball).BUTTON PLACEMENTThe placement of the buttons and joysticks on the Ralthy controller are subtly different than on the Pro controller and — in the opinion of both my gf and I — the positions are worse. Many of the buttons as well as the right joystick are less comfortable/harder to reach. This is especially true of the L/R trigger buttons. They FEEL like triggers on the Pro controller, whereas on the Ralthy controller it's a very large button which is much harder to pull with your finger. Also, the official controller has two additional buttons on the grip which are missing on the Ralthy controller.BUILD QUALITYThe Pro controller is constructed out of slightly lighter plastic, so although it's slightly lighter it doesn't feel as sturdy or durable as the Ralthy controller. I feel like if I dropped it, the plastic would chip / crack, whereas the Ralthy controller's plastic feels tougher and would more likely just dent if I dropped it.BATTERIESThe Ralthy controllers have a built in rechargeable battery, which can be handy, but today's batteries do eventually get worse with time. Invariably at some point in the future the Ralthy controller will become unusable because the internal battery will hold no charge. In contrast, I like the fact that the Pro controller uses AA batteries, which means in theory as long as that type of battery exists this controller should be usable forever. Also, the Ralthy controller seemed to need a recharge after a long day of gaming but I have yet to need to replace the batteries on the Pro controller with about the same amount of usage.PRICEThe Ralthy controller costs about $15 less than the official Nintendo Pro controller, which makes it a tempting option for some people (including me). I decided to get both and see which I liked best and share those results with you so you can make a better decision. Sorry Ralthy, but in my opinion I would much rather pay an additional $15 for superior comfort, button placement, and the ability to always be able to use the controller far into the future.
