New here and returning to smash after a few years, What are some good controllers for Ultimate? Doesn't have to be 1st party, anything goes at long as it's reliable and responsive.

Tranquilo broThanks for being a dip**** asshole. Your not funny.
That's not how you play the game.the shell can crack if you throw your controller too hard
Yeah but just in case because of those "heated gamer" moments.That's not how you play the game.
I have never seen anyone getting this angry, however, I have heard that some can get this heated.Yeah but just in case because of those "heated gamer" moments.
I swapped from a PowerA GC style pro, actually. The C stick on the controller was starting to misinput different directions at random times, and the A button started sticking real bad. I actually had two of them, and both developed the same problems.Official GameCube Controller and official Pro Controller are probably tied for #1 in terms of build quality and reliability. Then in 3rd would likely be the PowerA Wireless GC-style Pro Controller, but there are durability concerns if you play a lot. All the Hori and PDP options this time around seem to eventually have ghosting of other buttons when using the control stick or C stick. Like, just inputting a dash will give you a dash attack even if you're nowhere near any other button.
It makes me wonder if there will ever be a good "big name" 3rd party controller. I always had the feeling that I was being set up to lose when I was handed the random MadCatz controller to play with as a kid. I guess the stigma has never worn off, because 3rd parties apparently still cheap out hard on parts.I swapped from a PowerA GC style pro, actually.

It's also nice not burning through so many AA batteries any longer.
Tried this in the past as a cheap replacement for a broken WiiU Pro Controller until I could get a new one. Hated every minute of using Xbox 360 and One controllers, it was not intuitive at all for Smash. Something about the buttons felt too stiff for fast inputs. No way I could recommend it. I feel like the PS4 controller would be better, but not sure about the control stick placement. If you're not playing Smash, either option could work as a good Pro Controller replacement for other games, though.If you're an absolute mad lad or lass and don't mind dropping $100 on a controller just to make people ask what the **** is wrong with you (note: I am absolutey the kind of person who would do this), you can use a PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller alongside a Brook Super Converter (PS3/PS4 to Switch or 360/Xbone to Switch), or an Xbox One controller with their new wireless Xbox One to PS4/Switch adapter. If you already own an Xbox or Playstation controller for use with those consoles or on PC, I'd say this might actually be worth using, but if not, imho it's too much hassle.
In my experience, Dualshock 4 isn't that good for more dash dance heavy games. It tends to hurt my hands a bit.It makes me wonder if there will ever be a good "big name" 3rd party controller.
