The Wireless HORIPAD Turbo is the value pick for Switch 2 because it covers the features most players use for $64.99 at HORI USA. HORI fits TMR sticks, which it says minimize wear-related drift, plus a gyroscope and accelerometer for motion aiming, programmable rear buttons, Turbo at 5, 10 or 20 presses per second and two saved button profiles. It also has a C Button for GameChat, the Switch 2 feature Nintendo added to its own Pro Controller, and two button lock modes for the Home, Capture and other top buttons. It is officially licensed by Nintendo and works on Switch 2, Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite. The compromises are listed plainly by HORI: it has no HD Rumble 2 or vibration feedback, and battery is rated at up to 10 hours per charge. Players who want rumble, amiibo and a headphone jack should pay more for the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
