Customer Ratings & Reviews

While not necessary if you have controllers made for the switch 1 and the price is kinda high. It does have a very smooth premium feel for the money at least. The extra back buttons that are easily programmed and have profiles saved for every game is a nice touch. Battery life is absurdly good and the sticks especially feel nice. My only real gripe is the price and the fact it feels like an artificial limitation that switch 1 controllers can’t wake the switch 2

Great build quality and feels great in hand. Very responsive. Ability to use C button for game chat is great. Upgraded from using the Switch 1 Pro controller and do not regret it.

Love this controller! Feels absolutely lovely in the hand, completely natural. The extra buttons on the back are mappable and super convenient to use. Battery life is fenominal too!

Without a doubt one of the most comfortable and well-crafted controllers I've ever owned. I have played on all big 3 consoles and this controller takes the cake. The back buttons are a neat addition, there's an audio jack for game chat (Fortnite for example), new GameChat button, the sticks feel incredibly smooth, the buttons are great, its comfortable to hold and the triggers are good, though still not analog. The home button wakes up the console too! I highly recommend this, but if you have a switch 1 pro, stick with it a little longer.

One of the best gaming controllers I have ever bought! Personally, I like the size I like where the button buttons lay with my hand placement. The feel of the controller the two extra programmable back buttons that can be programmed based on the game you are playing. I couldn’t ask for a better controller to use for the Nintendo switch two.However, one thing I will state that I have seen some people talk about is if you have smaller hands this controller is not for you.

Honestly this controller is fantastic. The price is quite expensive but I can see why. The upgrade in the joysticks and the feel in the triggers and the buttons are just so much better then the previous generation. I would even compare or even say it's better then the Xbox controller currently.

Im lucky to be able of comparing between ps5, xbox and this controller… and man… this swtich pro 2 gets the best analog stickers motion/feeling in my opinion. Beyond that it just feels good. I have no complains. I just wish Nintendo added analog triggers as well but you know, I guess for that we would meed to play in another system. Oh and also i would like to see a special edition or something to make it look with more “personality”. You know that using this controller is this is the way to go whenever playing the switch docked. Battery life, 0 problems, i havent charged it since purchased (daylunch) today is like 25 days afterwards, but yeah I play maybe for an hour every 2 days average, so not a problem for me at all. One more thing, this is a food controller. But i dont think it could be reeeaaally considered a “Pro” version of a controller if compared with its similar named competitors on other systems. But from the price standpoint, its ok.. get it some discount and cant be mad at it.

[Employee of bestbuy] The steep price is definitely gonna be a turn off for a lot of people, but if you can manage to get a good deal, it's definitely worth it. Controller feels great to use and the paddle buttons on the back being a standard addition here is an excellent addition. And with Steam recently adding support, it's also a great controller to use on PC as well

The newest model shows clear improvements, particularly with the grips and buttons. The feel is much better, making gameplay more comfortable and responsive. I’ve also noticed a decrease in stick drift issues, which were more common in past versions. Overall, the controller feels more sturdy and reliable. The comfort level reminds me a lot of the WaveBird controller for the GameCube, known for its ergonomic design. This comparison highlights the care Nintendo has taken in making long gaming sessions more pleasant and less tiring. That said, the main downside is the price. Nintendo’s asking cost for this controller is quite steep, which could be a barrier for many buyers. It might be wise for potential customers to wait for discounts or sales before purchasing. In summary, while the new controller scores high on quality and comfort, the price might hold some back. Notifying customers about any future deals could help boost sales.

I was wondering why I should get a new controller for the switch 2. I already have a pro controller from the switch 1. Then I heard how smooth it was. I thought maybe they were exaggerating. Then the moment I put it in my hands and I understand what everyone meant. It’s awesome. Pricey but battery life is amazing

Honestly the best controllers I've ever owned. Comfortable. Compact. Great analog sticks. Solid D-pad and shoulder buttons. Love the reprogrammable back buttons. Excellent battery life. No complaints.

I’ve had so many controllers over the years and I enjoyed having a comfortable experience playing video games with them. This Switch 2 Pro Controller is a HUGE upgrade compared to the Switch Pro Controller. The texture is so smooth, buttons aren’t loud when being pressed, and the triggers are definitely responsive. This controller even has 2 back buttons for assigning different button commands for a more ergonomic experience. Made games like Mario Kart World and Breath of the Wild have a more streamlined experience that didn’t cramp my hands. The controller even includes a headphone jack which means I can listen to the game by myself without disturbing others around me. Would highly recommend this controller if you want to dedicate a comfortable and streamlined gaming experience!

Well this is the best controller out for the switch. It’s very light it fits perfectly in my hands the build in back buttons it’s what any gamer want out of a controller. Sony and Microsoft should take notes cause this controller is a must have if you have a switch.

Feels great and it seems the thumbs ticks have had an update. And the controller seems lighter than the original model. The 3.5mm Jack is also finally available as well. The battery life is still great,definitely a nice upgrade.

If you own a Nintendo Switch 2, do yourself a favor and get the Pro Controller. Seriously, it's a game-changer! From the moment you pick it up, you'll notice the premium build quality; it feels sturdy and perfectly weighted in your hands, unlike the smaller Joy-Cons for extended play. The ergonomics are fantastic, making long gaming sessions incredibly comfortable, whether you're battling in Smash Bros. or exploring Hyrule in Zelda. The buttons are clicky and responsive, the D-pad is precise, and the analog sticks are smooth and accurate, offering a level of control you just don't get with the Joy-Cons, especially for more demanding games. Battery life is also phenomenal, lasting for dozens of hours on a single charge. If you're serious about your Switch gaming, the Pro Controller is an absolute essential and worth every penny!

I thought it would be a waste to upgrade from the original switch pro controller. In my opinion it feels nicer in my hands and the battery lasts forever. Plus you get two new buttons on the back where hour hands go.

Expensive and a little small in my hands, but the battery life is great. The addition of the back paddles is also a nice touch.

Very well-built, perfect weight/feel. Love the addition of the extra mappable buttons. However this isn't a substantial upgrade over the previous generation, which cost less new, and can be had used for much less. Unless you absolutely need those mappable buttons, save your money and keep your old ones and find a gently used one on the resale market

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller has completely elevated my gaming experience. Right out of the box, the feel in hand is great and comfortable for long play sessions. The textured grips make a noticeable difference and the rumble is amazing. One of the biggest improvements I’ve noticed is the charging speed. Compared to the original Pro Controller, this one charges much faster, so I’m back in the game sooner and don’t have to worry about downtime. The battery life is also excellent, lasting through multiple sessions without needing a top-up. If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable, and responsive controller for your Switch 2, I highly recommend this upgrade over playing with the Joy-Cons.

For a Pro controller the battery life is fantastic. The behind the grip buttons are nice. I like how you can change them by game and not globally. However, to change them is not very user friendly but once you get used to it…. The over all experience is better than the joy cons. My only complaints is the increase in price isn’t generally worth the price of admission. I would correlate this to a standard remote with two extra buttons.
