How funny that a female said no ill tell mum that, us gamers know the difference 😂

[rosemilk]

the top one has shorter controllers. you can tell by lining up the top screws. it hits different than where the top screws are on the bottom one

although it could just be perspective of how the picture was taken. but in my opinion the top one looks pretty different from the bottom one, i can see a few slight differences. the top of the controller oval shapes are different too

[Monalisa77]

There definitely is, i held both n my fingers were too painful for the bottom one. My mum just didn't believe me

[AviatorTom]

Outward appearance, the grips are definitely different, and the plastic is shiny on one and not on the other. I'm guessing the bottom one is real, made by Nintendo, and the top one is a knock-off fake, made in some garage in China.

[jarkitor20]

They are different in looks

Do they feel different when playing with them too?

[Monalisa77]

Yes i tried my brother s n its too big for me. Mum even measured but its the grip that makes it bigger

[jarkitor20]

Makes sense!! Which of the 2 do you prefer?

[Monalisa77]

Smaller/top cos my hands r small

[Monalisa77]

Not sure how i got lucky with the small grip tho when she bought it

[jarkitor20]

O you have small hands ye I bet it's nicer to have the small one
The bigger one on the bottom is what I have but it's too small for me

[Monalisa77]

Ah u must have big hands then lol

[jarkitor20]

Ye pretty much haha
Skinny fingers tho
Love playing when the controllers are attached to the screen so I can hold it firmer

[Astarlessnightsky]

I can't tell a difference from the pictures.

Also these are just the plastic grips, you need joycons for them to work anyway.

[Monalisa77]

Yeah i have them, im not gonna send them to my brother s lol

[NathanDavis]

different case, sure... what about the rest?

[Monalisa77]

What do u mean by case?

[Monalisa77]

My mums in Scotland, my brother accidentally took mine back at Christmas and insisted theyre the same

[NathanDavis]

the plastic cover thingy... lol that encases all the controller components

[Monalisa77]

Thing is, my brother was in a rush n accidentally took mine so mum went over n has the two controllers n couldnt tell which 1 was mine

[NathanDavis]

they probably sent a different version/edition of it... does it work the same though?

[Monalisa77]

Yes i just prefer small due to small hands

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, the casing shape on the handles is slightly different.

[love_conquers_lust]

Unknown. I don't own or play switch.

[Monalisa77]

U dont have to to see a difference

[Liketotry]

They look the same to me

[Monalisa77]

if u see the top bit of the grip on the top one its not there like on the bottom one

[Liketotry]

I didn’t even see that

[Monalisa77]

i have a good eye for detail lol probs why my mum thinks theyre the same too

[Liketotry]

You certainly do

[Monalisa77]

i am putting it to good use and doing data stuff at open uni lol
