Hi, 

I am looking for a microsd card for my Switch (when it gets here) and I am not sure between these two cards. Evo+ is half the price and has similar read speeds as Pro+, however the write speed is 3 times lower. 

 

So the question is, would I see any difference if I'd take Pro+ compared to Evo+ is anything else than copying stuff on the sd card? I want to have as fast card as possible but I dont wanna spend double the money for a difference I wont notice.

You will notice the difference, especially when it's 3 times slower. The PRO series is better than the EVO series. It's up to you if you want or can spend the extra money to get faster write speeds.

but thats a write speed, which is 3 times slower 84MB/s vs 27 MB/s in sequential and about 30% difference in 4k writing. Idk how much games write, but it cant influence them much, right?

If you're looking solely for gaming, 4K speeds is the way to go. Just determine value by 4K speeds.
If you can afford the PRO go for it, if not and you need to save money don't. It's that simple.
