HORI, a manufacturer of popular gaming accessories
if they’re so popular why have I never heard of them? especially as I’ve very recently researched PC gamepads and settled on an 8BitDo.
HORI sounds like a bullshit throwaway Amazon brand.
That said, I am very very eager for a gamepad which can do gyro aiming, have back buttons that actually function as additional buttons (as opposed to merely copies of other buttons), and do so over better-than-bluetooth wireless. Doesn’t look like this is that, though, so whatever
HORI is a household name for fighting sticks btw, there’s some degree of quality asurance there. But for regular controllers I do think there are better alternatives.
8BitDo is absolutely fantastic, loved using my Pro 2 because of the back buttons
They’re mostly known for their officially licensed Switch controllers and accessories, which from my experience, are made extremely cheaply, with lackluster features, and terrible build quality. I absolutely wouldn’t spend a whopping $60 on a controller from them, personally…
There’s your problem. They’ve been pretty well known in the console marketplace for a long time, and have peripherals dating back to the Super Nintendo.

HORI has been around for a good whole, and they make what are arguably the best aftermarket Nintendo switch controllers.
