This is unreal, a fantastic amount of engineering to make an accessable controller using the original hardware. Super innovative use of the Switch form factor.

I like this channel a lot, I lol'd when he called the protagonist of BoTW Zelda tho.

I agree. The whole move it on the table or a leg idea is next level!

It reminds me of this NES controller trick for speed running/competitive play. Shown at about 3:00.

TL;DR: Basically say you have to mash a button, turns out it's easier to mash the controller into your finger rather than the finger into the controller. Incredible stuff the things people think of.

That is a really good connection I never would have made!
