The old one got a little bit of stick drift after 7 years and I‘m using the new one for PC only probably. Weirdly enough it‘s not officially supported for that yet but there are already tools available to make it run so everything is good.
I just wanted to see what the new one was about since the first impressions were very good and I love the previous model. And I still have a (probably irrational but deeply rooted) dislike for 3rd party controllers. There were just too many crappy ones growing up. Maybe one day when the Switch 2 Pro gives up the ghost or I lose patience with it‘s odd feeling surface. Time will tell.
I get the 3rd party controller hate, but I got a couple of these at Ross for like $14 , and they worked great for when you have guests over and wanna play smash or something, or if you have kids and don't want them screwing up the good ones. Also there's no latency, and imo it's more responsive. Might just be in my head, but I actually prefer it. I was absolutely shocked that they also worked on switch 2. Best $14 I ever spent.
