anyone using joycon with grip?
I find it very awkward and way too small for my hands if i strictly use the joy con itself. Feels like the grip is a must.
just a fyi, grip by itself is made by a third party, the material and design is completely different than the charging grip.
The charging grip is essentially the same as the stock one that came with the switch, minus the charging port.

hated the grip... the pro controller is so much more comfortable to use

London Drugs on Kingsway and Nelson has a few. Picked one up today to try out, might let it go for face value if I dont like it.

I can get them to hold it(if still in stock) at LD if someones looking for one

did it work with your MBP?

I'm looking for one with SD slot so I don't have to bring a card reader when travelling..but doesn't look like it exists

the newest one is nice and compact

doubt i'll carry around a hdmi cord traveling so will probably pass on this...I find the only time I'm playing it undocked is like on a train/plane ride where I don't have access to a TV anyways
seems silly special circuitry is required for the Switch...thought the whole point of USB is being universal and not proprietary

Anyone else pick up Mario + Rabbids? I was hesitant picking it up at first but after reading reviews, I decided to get it. I've been having a lot of fun playing it, definitely would recommend checking it out.

Also I've heard that if you change your region to Russia you can get Sonic Mania for ~$10 instead of the $25 for CAD. Anyone do this before?
