The good news is you can still use the switch 1 pro controller with the switch 2. I actually ordered one for the switch 2 and promptly returned it when I found out (thankfully before opening that, though unfortunately after I'd already opened a set of switch 2 JoyCons). You can also use joycons from switch 1, and even my licensed wired controllers work too. That was an awesome move by Nintendo that saved me a couple hundred dollars, so imo it helps justify the higher price point of the new console. You can get a switch 1 pro controller pre-owned on eBay for like 25 bucks, and new for like $40. No reason to buy the new one imo.

The only drawback here is that the og pro controller will not turn on the Switch 2 using the home button.

I hadn't noticed that, but as far as grievances go, that's pretty minor. Everything else works great.

Yeah, I get that it's a small one, but it's pretty annoying nonetheless.
