What type of controller do you use in online Splatoon games?

2 because all my damn joy-cons keep getting drift

Same. And then two days before the 3 premiere my wired controller started drifting, lol.

You could always send them to Nintendo!

Takes about 15 minutes to switch out that drifting stick. Try compressed air first, it helps most if the time

This!

Preach!

Same. My joy con’s are so awful that I can’t even override it by holding up. It only can go down! And the best thing is, my actual controller is now lagging for L stick inputs…

5. Ring fit adveture ring+legstrap

6. Pokeball plus

Is that an option.

0.

It’s still beyond me that they included local co-op with THAT as the only input method, but cut it once all the controllers had sufficient motion tracking on the new console…

Holy shit my kids are going to flip when they see this

I’m not gonna question that one

Holy shit is that official? Lmao

That looks sick

Absolute legend

You think that's crazy? Check

Honestly, 3.

The joycons feel way too clicky for me to use it, not to mention because of how tight the button layout is, it won’t be uncommon to fat-finger buttons

Number 2. Honestly kind of surprised at the number of people that use Joy-Cons. Buying a Pro Controller was the first thing I did when I bought the console.

Detached joycon just gives you a lot more mobility compared to when both sides are glued together. You can turn 360 degrees with just your wrist

I use a split pad and will be getting the ‘wired controller’ attachment for it. Those things are comfy af for my monster hands.

I used detached joycons for a long time. Honestly the only reason I changed to a pro controller was I found chargers difficult to use, I kept on twitching at release.

I'd get a pro controller but I wanna eat for the rest of the month so no dice

1 and 4, but mostly 1, not out of comfort or cash reasons, im just lazy

I use 1 out of comfort I don’t know what it is but I think I’m just so used to the Wii U game pad and it feels much more like it then, only way I can get joycons to feel better is to weigh them down by taping a roll of quarters to the crossbar

Same but I prefer 1 because it's less strain on my eyes... For some reason I don't blink enough when playing docked to a big screen? So my partner plays on the tv and I play handheld.

1, 4

Poor detected (same actually)

1

The best choice

3

how is that even remotely playable LOL

Wii u game pad

I'll never be as good in Smash Ultimate and Splatoon 2/3 as I was in Smash 4 and Splatoon without my dear Wii U GamePad

As a Beakon placer I feel like my Beakons would be used more often if the game was played on the game pad still.

Motion controls have never felt the same without my gamepad.

The best controller

it was really fun aiming with that :(

game pad was so good i miss it

2 and 1

Used 4 until i lost it now i use 3

Handheld switch :3

2

4 for almost five years but have finally switched to 2

good on you, It's a big improvement

2, honestly ever since getting a pro controller I don't touch my Joy Cons anymore.

Yes me too. They are so much worse.

Switch Lite users: You guys have options?

2 with motion controls off.

Same motion control aiming sucks and you have to tilt it to where you can't see the screen

used to only be able to play 1 but now enjoying 2. seeing the comments I might try out 3 which I never even considered for this game

i don't really like 3, even because procontroller are a must if you are not playing handled

4 but i wish i was using 2

1

1

Handheld

I’m so used to 1 that I actually can’t really play it on the TV screen without sucking hardcore. It’s disorienting. My poor neck after this Splatfest, though…

Game cube

Pro controller is so good to hold

yes so true

2 but using 8bitdo SN30+ Pro 2

I'm planning on using that controller and learning motion controls after a hiatus of playing Splatoon 1 with sticks at launch. I've been comparing the 8bitdo which I already own vs the PowerA fusion pro. What are your thoughts on the SN30+ for Splatoon motion controls?

1, because my gyro controls get messed up whenever the switch is docked. It's been that way since 2017.

4 because my pro controller drifts AWFULLY😭😭 worse than my Joycons :,)

really? that's strange

4

I can’t see myself playing with anything but 2. Even in handheld I prop up the stand and use the Pro Controller.

Dualsense 5

Actually it’s just called the Dualsense

Whatever I can at the time

I only have a switch lite so... I'll probably buy a pro controller and a stand at some point tho

1 and 4 mostly 4 tho

1 and 2

Pro controller, no motion

3

1 I literally can’t play anything but 1 without being the worst person on the team by a mile

5: switch lite

I’d say that counts as 1 with motion off

5: Switch Lite

So 1 ?

That's just 1

Controller motion controls disabled camera sensitivity maxed

4

1

2. It's the only correct choice

5

What is it?

2

2

2

2

2

2

2 my joycons are on the frits.

3

2, but now that I'm in college and don't have a monitor, 3

Definitely 2

1 if handheld, 2 if on tv

2 but 3rd party because nintendo controllers are ass

how so, my official one is really good.

3 or 4 dont have a procon

I use the joy cone wheel

2

As a sweaty piece of shit comp Range/Tetra/Splash gamer girl, I can't believe people actually play Splatoon with Joycons.

neither can I. Pro controller is really good.

1 while I’m at college, 2 while at home

1 or 4. Most of the time i'm too lazy to set up my tv with my switch but if i do it's a better playing experience than handheld

Number 2 or 4.

handled and motion controls feels more precise to me tbh

1 cus i have a lite 💪💪

A wired horipad... Playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 killed my joycons and pro controller sticks. I have no idea why or how...

I use 4 cus I dont have a wireless controller and I like motion

Either 1 or 4, depends on the time of day and my mental health

1 or 4, my pro controller drifts :((

2

6. SNES controller

2 usually, but 4 for emergencies.

1, 4

1, I play with a lite lmao

1

2

1 and 3 without the wrist straps

2 but i think 1 is strongest.

Pro Controller.

2 all the way

1 or 4, depending on whether I feel like sitting on the couch in front of the tv :P

2 now, but it used to be 1. I have some weird neurological thing that apparently makes it very hard for me to translate my hand movements into things happening on a detached screen. Took me 4 years to get the hang of it and I still have to keep the sensitivity way down or my brain just nopes out.

1 because I usually play while sitting in front of my PC and I ain't gonna look at the far away TV every time a match starts lol.

2 mostly 4 recently rarely 1

Pro controller, with motion controls.

4. Haven't seen point in getting a pro controller. This does everything I need already.

1 and 2

2

Mostly 1. I often jump in and jump out of the game so handheld mode is perfect for that

2

I used to do 1 but switched to 4 and I was able to play so much better. I want to switch to 2 but the pro controller I bought broke after a couple of uses so, idk when I will buy another one :/

I use the gamecube one usually

2

1 :D. I play most of my games in handheld mode

2

1

Back when I had Splatoon 2 I used to use a variety of third party controllers or Power A controllers. Right now I just use my animal crossing controller. But I also bought this cute teddy controller I'm excited to try.

3

2

Pro controller

1

On splat 2, i use 4. On splat 1 i use gamepad

Anything and everything except 3

1 because I use a Switch Lite. And when I used to own a normal Switch I still used 1.

i usually play handheld so 1 (with no motion controls)

Same

1, 2, 4

Hand held

2

3

Mix between Pro Controller and Handheld.

2, motion controls

1 and 2. i tried doggy when i didn't had the pro but after i got it i can't go back

I use 4, joycons in the grip. The person who got me into splatoon played with 3.

4 forever

1 with motion controls for sure. Unfortunately, I love having it docked/on tv but I just can’t move around the same/find a comfortable way to hold the joycons, so handheld it is

2 if available. 4 if not.

Handheld exclusively for 4 years now. Just made a purchase for a pro controller so I'm hoping to switch to that! 🥰

1, I own an oled

Xbox controller with Switch emulator (I am wanted by the FBI)

I prefer the 2

2

I will use 2… the pro controller.

4

i use 3 and i always wonder why people hate it? it's so much better to be able to move ur hands anywhere you want with the detached joycons instead of having them locked at one position with the pro controller... i really don't understand

3

1 but Joycon drift is madness

4

Number 1 and 4, but especially 4. I don't have a Pro controller yet, and detached joy-con motion control is a mess with my hands

4 or 1

4

1 & 2 maybe 4 if buy a 3rd party grip that has better grips

Always the pro

number 2. no motion controls. r stick at max sensitivity

I prefer 4 the mostly but sometimes 2. I tried the Pro Controller but I like the flat plane of 4. I think it subconsciously helps me with the angle because I use the Pro for Bows in Monster Hunter just fine. Either way, more people across all consoles need to embrace motion aimming. It really helps bridge the gap between controller and m+k.

2 but a GameCube controller instead

2, but 1 late in the evening in bed.

2,fuck joy con drift

Where’s that pro controller attached to a Wii remote

I dont get how anyone can play with something that isnt the pro controller

Used 3 before, but now its mainly 1 and 4

4

4 with a broken R button and constant right stick drift because I can't afford a pro controller
