Nintendo Joy-Con vs Rotor Riot RR1800 Game and Drone Controller

The Nintendo Joy-Con has impressed reviewers from two sources that are among the most highly trusted on the internet, namely Tom's Guide and Laptop Mag. It did great in their objective hands-on roundups - it earned the "The best multi-purpose controller" and "Ranked 2 out of 6" awards from Tom's Guide and Laptop Mag, respectively. That's high praise from such reputable sources.

Moving on to the Rotor Riot RR1800 Game and Drone Controller for Android: it was loved by reviewers at iMore and Android Central - two reliable sources that conduct objective in-depth testing. In fact, it was their "Best for budget" and "Rotor Riot currently appears to be the only gamepad that offers L3 and R3 function in most games. It does not work in Fortnite so far. And with an attachable phone mount right in the box, you can easily play on your phone as you go or remove the mount to play on a larger iOS device. The buttons are responsive, and it works great with Remote Play.", respectively, pointing towards it being a Gamepad worth considering.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Gamepads, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Nintendo Joy-Con got its highest, 7, rating from iMore, while the Rotor Riot RR1800 Game and Drone Controller for Android earned its best, 8, score from Macworld.

The Rotor Riot RR1800 Game and Drone Controller for Android managed to get 8.0 out of 10 - considerably better than the 7.5 review average of Gamepads in general - whereas the Nintendo Joy-Con earned 7.0 points.

It should be said that doing a direct Nintendo Joy-Con vs. Rotor Riot RR1800 Game and Drone Controller for Android comparison might not be entirely fair due to the difference in their prices - some sources don't put much weight on value for money and thus tend to give better review scores to more expensive products.
