So, in the end, which is better?

Each of the controllers introduced so far has its advantages and disadvantages, but to summarize their uses:

・If you don't have any particular preferences and just want to have funjoy-with

・If you plan to play for a long time or have been using it since the GameCube era, this is a good value for money and easy to use.GC Controller

・For those who want to prioritize performance despite the button layout being similar to the GC controller and having some quirks.Horicon

・People with large hands who want to increase the freedom of movement, such as finer movementsPDP Con

・If you have the money to spend and like the button layout of the Joy-ConProcon

I think it will be something like this.

I think the Bluetooth BEBONCOOL isn't very useful for Smash Bros. (The BEBONCOO is great for PlayStation games when they're released on the Switch).
After summarizing the overall results, the controller that I would recommend the most isGC Controlleris not it.
