So... The kids have a Nintendo switch. It's apparent I need some more controllers.
The legit Nintendo ones are pretty steep, but the clones don't seem to have that slide on bit. What do those slide on bits do?

Can anyone recommend controllers?

The pro controllers seem really expensive. We got some wireless ones that were slightly cheaper. Chew through batteries and no rumble though so may stump up for some pro controllers at some point.

I find the built in controllers too small for my hands, when used individually or together as a single controller.

We got some full size rechargeable clones on amazon. One works perfectly. The other works most of the time but sometimes has an annoying right press which won't go away until you disconnect and reconnect it. It's rare, and happens from the beginning rather than appearing mid session, and we think probably worth the saving.

The slide off sides are a way of converting to smaller controllers (joycons) which you need for some games, and which my kids prefer for some games when they have the choice. But we don't need extras of that style - you've already got two...

The official ones, whilst expensive, are a hell of a lot better than third party options. They just work really well and have some pretty interesting tech in them
