You can totally use the Joy-Cons too, either attached to the Grip or separately. They work really well, especially if you’re into motion controls.
I’ve been playing with a wired USB controller, and it’s a great budget-friendly option. Just make sure it’s compatible with the Switch!
Pro controllers are a waste of money! Just use the Joy-Cons; they’re all you really need. Trust me, you’ll get used to them.
