Amazing controller
As a Best Buy customer who snagged the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for $84.99, I’ve been putting it through its paces with my Switch 2, and it’s mostly a game-changer—though not without a couple of quirks. Here’s my honest review after a week of intense gaming. Comfort and Build: Feels Like a Dream Right out of the box, this controller feels premium. The texture is smooth but grippy, and it’s super comfortable for my hands, even during marathon sessions of Zelda and MarioKart. It’s lighter than I expected but still feels solid, like it could survive a few accidental drops (not that I’m testing that!). The thumbsticks are incredibly smooth—probably the best I’ve used on any controller—and the buttons have a satisfying click. The only oddity is the Y button; it feels a bit shallow compared to the others, which threw me off in fast-paced games at first. Features: Packed with Cool Extras This thing is loaded with features. The HD2 rumble is awesome—it’s like I can feel every crash or explosion in-game, almost as good as my friend’s PS5 controller. The motion controls are spot-on for games like Splatoon, and I love the new capture button for quick screenshots. The mappable GL/GR buttons on the grips are a nice touch for customizing controls, especially in competitive games. Plus, the audio jack is a lifesaver for late-night gaming with my headset. The amiibo reader built-in is handy, and the battery lasts forever—I haven’t charged it in days. Performance: Mostly Flawless The analog sticks and improved D-pad are fantastic. I had no issues pulling off precise moves in Tetris 99 or navigating menus. It’s a huge upgrade from the Joy-Cons for docked play. That said, I noticed some lag when using it wirelessly in my crowded apartment—maybe it’s my Wi-Fi setup, but it’s worth mentioning. Wired mode works perfectly, though. Value: Worth It, But Not Cheap At $84.99, it’s a bit steep, especially since the Joy-Cons are already included with the Switch 2. But for someone like me who plays mostly docked, the comfort and precision make it worth every penny. If you’re a casual gamer, you might not need it, but for enthusiasts, it’s a no-brainer. Best Buy’s return policy gave me peace of mind, and the staff were super helpful when I had questions about setup. Final Thoughts The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is a must-buy for serious gamers. It’s comfy, feature-packed, and makes every game feel better. The Y button quirk and occasional wireless hiccups are minor annoyances, but they don’t ruin the experience. If you’re picking it up at Best Buy, check for any bundle deals or Geek Squad protection for extra value. Pros: Super comfortable, smooth thumbsticks, awesome rumble, long battery life, cool customization options. Cons: Pricey, Y button feels off, minor wireless lag in some setups.

Good but expensive.
This is the smoothest feeling controller I've ever used, but it better be for $85. It's pretty comfortable in the hands, and it connects effortlessly. It also has a good battery life. It also has a better d-pad than the original switch pro controller with the inclusion of the back buttons, which are incredibly easy and intuitive to program. This is a good controller. I don't regret buying it. It is a decent upgrade over the original in my opinion. If you have $85 burning a hole in your pocket, this is a good way to use it.
