Customer Ratings & Reviews

Feels very comfortable in the hands, very lightweight, and a battery that last very long, its definitely worth it

I love the material used on the controller. It feels soft, like a fluffy cloud. It is slightly smaller than the first pro controller, but I think I just need more time to get used to it because I have like 600 hours of playtime with the first one. Using the Switch 2 pro controller with Donkey Kong Bonanza and working well!

Excellent controller, probably the most comfortable ergonomics/back button position I've ever used along with the smoothest sticks I've tried. -1 star for the lack of analog triggers in 2025. It is a shame, especially for a company offering one of the premier racing games.

Compared to its predecessor— the original switch’s pro controller— the Nintendo Pro Controller for the Nintendo Switch 2 offers about the same with some meaningful changes. First of all, the new controller receives a completely different finish when handling. In my experience, it is much easier to grip unlike the first pro controller which was slippery in my hands. Second, the analog sticks are just the best. They glide smoothly, yet make no sound when playing. Additionally, HD Rumble feels even more better than it’s predecessor and you can definitely notice the difference in games such as Mario Kart World. However, the 2 major changes that I loved about this controller is the 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom of the controller and the GR/GL back buttons. With the 3.5mm audio jack, I’m able to play games at the comfort of my bed using standard wired headphones without disturbing the house. Furthermore, the GR and GL buttons are a nice addition to the controller. The buttons are well thought out since accidental presses are not an issue. Additionally, their placement is in a spot that is natural and comfortable to use. While the $85 price tag may veer off some potential buyers, I do believe the price tag is some-what justified from how well the controller performs overall. Overall, this is a great controller that is worth a consideration.

just buy it if you play any games on the tv. it’s quiet smooth and beautiful

Works great me likey! You will notice it's a pinch smaller than the other one but nothing too crazy. I have smaller hands so it's perfect for me but if you have bigger hands it might not work. Your best bet is to try it out at a Best buy before you buy it.

It has a nice texture and its thumbsticks are quiet. It feels very sturdy and responsive, and the GL/GR remappable buttons are well-placed. However, it is a bit small for my hands and can hurt my hands after some time playing. It's also overpriced for a controller.

Feels great in the hands and the buttons have a nice soft feel to them

One of the best ergonomic designs, back bottons are nice add-on, and the texture feels really premium

Absolutely zero complaints. It works as intended and the sticks feel very smooth.

I wish they made this in all white or had a better limited addition option available as the upcoming resident evil limited edition being all black is Kind of lackluster and honestly seems like a lazy option for the first limited edition controller for the system. This is a Decent controller and it feels better in hand than the original switch pro controller however it’s a bit smaller so if you have larger hands, this might not be your best option. Considering the original pro controller still works with the Switch 2, the only thing it won’t do is wake up the Switch 2 from sleep mode and there’s no back buttons if that something you need. In my opinion, I find the back button get in the way and that my original pro controller is a perfectly fine option. Especially when it comes to playing with friends at home definitely don’t need to spend that much on 4 of these controllers if you already have original controllers available. If Nintendo didn’t disable The option of my original pro controllers from waking up the Switch 2, I wouldn’t even bother purchasing this controller.

A super nice controller for the Switch 2. I really like having back buttons after using "pro" controllers on all other platforms. Basically a requirement for me for Elden Ring and The Duskbloods when those games come out. The location of the back buttons feel a bit off for my hands but I got used to it. Joysticks feel so smooth.

The texture, ergonomics, and quiet sticks and button presses are all reasons why I really like this controller.

Its an amazing controller and the back buttons are an added bonus.

Just as I rated the console 5 stars, it's the same with this controller. It's up to Nintendo's standard. We all know what Nintendo is and what they deliver.

The best controller I've ever tried (and I have almost all of them). The feel is simply too good, the precision of the touch is perfect, and the buttons are the perfect size so there's no mistake. In short, very good and highly recommended.

What a great new controller for the Switch 2! Feels really good and adds some programmable buttons on the back!

I bought this on August 6th. I fully charged it when i got home. I play using the contoller for 30 to 45 minutes a day. Yesterday (sept. 25) I had to plug it in to charge for the first time since right after i bought it.

this controller has got to be one of the best feeling controllers i have. its comfortable and it feels good and the buttons just are great to press.

It's worth it. I have the old Pro controller and it never failed me. This one has a few extra perks, like the back-paddle buttons you can program, which make it a meaningful upgrade despite being otherwise familiar.
