Black Pro Controller Again

 

I don't own (and haven't played) any of the Xenoblade games, so I decided to sell my Xenoblade Switch Pro Controller and just go back to the original black model that I previously owned (but which surprisingly got fried by a strong static shock from my thumb when I was recording my Cyber Shadow playthrough).  Even though I heard the Xenoblade version had a better D-pad, from my experience, it was only a slight difference at best.

I was surprised at how easily and quickly my Xenoblade controller sold with all of the packaging.  I think I got most of my money back on that purchase.  Also, I was able to find an unused black Pro Controller in "open box" condition, so the price on that was pretty good.  I tend to have the default color schemes for my controllers anyway.

Unfortunately, the analog stick on my right Joy-Con has started drifting uncontrollably even though Nintendo previously repaired it once (at their cost), so I guess I have to send it back in for another repair unless I never want to play another FPS on the system (I hate dual analog controls and even using the tilt controls on the Pro Controller doesn't feel quite right).
