16% less battery life in a controller is pretty significant!

I wonder if it will feel significant. I can't remember being limited by the controller battery. The runtime on a single charge is probably still going to be measured in weeks, and at that scale I feel like it doesn't really matter.

Yes but it's limited to only the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.

The basic Joy-cons have no change to their battery capacity.

Glad to hear, because that's how much a battery will degrade by itself in 1 to 2 years if you're average lucky.

Agreed, that one's not great. But it seems to be the only product that has serious trade-offs.
