Could you just pair Nintendo joycons with the Deck? Or maybe the ones that come with that new Lenovo handheld?

[–] CrankyCarrot 14 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Yes you can, I regularly do this for multiplayer, however the Joycons are

  1. Thinner - much less comfortable. I can only play on the Switch for an hour before my hands are cramping and I don't have big hands
  2. Don't attach to the side of the Deck
  3. Won't charge easily - are there even any ways to charge without owning an entire Switch?
  4. Most importantly, no touchpads, no rear buttons. I use the touchpads more than the sticks so for me, no touchpads = no use

This is my usual go to, but there are a few occasions I do miss having both sticks! :P

I'm really hoping the SC2 comes out soon.
