Hori won me back with its Wireless Horipad Turbo for Nintendo Switch 2, but some annoying design quirks stop it short of greatness
TechRadar Verdict If you need a spare Switch 2 controller, or you don't feel like paying for the expensive official Switch 2 Pro Controller, then the Wireless Horipad Turbo is a decent stand-in. Anti-drift TMR sticks are a plus over the Pro Controller, and the robust Turbo feature is great for arcade and retro games. I've been rendered pleasantly surprised, as there is plenty to like about the brand's latest Nintendo-facing controller.

Anti-drift TMR sticks are a plus over the Pro Controller, and the robust Turbo feature is great for arcade and retro games.
