    Great controller. Smoothest sticks around and buttons feel good. Gyro controls make me pick this over Xbox and battery life kills the dualsense edge all for half the price of the others.

    Almost perfect but a bit steep on price.

    This is THE way to play your Switch 2 when docked. It's a comfortable fit in the hand and feels very sturdy, not cheaply made. Buttons are tactile and you have to feel HD rumble to truly appreciate it. I do wish shoulder bumpers and triggers were sensitive to pressure rather than just simply on or off, though. There are mappable grip buttons as well though I've not used them. That said, mine was purchased open box. I think the price full out is a bit steep but grabbing one open box at a discount is a no-brainer. Giving 4 out 5 due to almost perfect. Price and those shoulder bumpers and triggers are the only cons.

    At a glance it looks a lot like the Pro controller for the first Switch, but handling them side by side you can tell the differences — this new one is slightly smaller, face buttons are a little larger, and the analog sticks glide a lot smoother. Plus the extra remappable buttons on the back work great for several games to “free up” thumbs. I was able to get a price match and use a gift card to bring down my cost, but even at full price its arguably worth it, especially if this is your first non-Joy Con controller purchase.

    This is a great upgrade to the Switch pro controller. Feels much better in your hands, and the sticks are much smoother and quieter. Haven't used the chat feature, so can't comment on that. It is a bit pricey though.

    Very nice controller overall. The price is definitely way too high considering what you can get for $100. That is also Switch 2 compatible. The addition of programmable back buttons is nice. The finish feels great in your hand, I prefer a little personality with my electronics, and it falls short in that category. Haven’t had any issues with stick drift or delays in inputs. I just personally feel like this is a $60 controller not a $90 one. There’s no Hall Effect sticks, no trigger locks, and not much to set itself apart from other controllers around the same price range. It does wake up the Switch 2 which is a plus.

    Love this controller. Even though im six three, i somehow have fairly small hands, and so this controller works phenomenally for me. Buttons are nice, thumbsticks are awesome. The only thing ive not tested much are the back buttons and the dpad. I like this controller so much that I ordered a second one today. One thing I would say caution wise is if you have big hands, you may not love the ergonomics of this controller, as its pretty small.

    This controller has a good grip to it and the joystick glides with ease. The rubber is smooth and soft to the touch. I can perform better mechanical moves and plays with this controller. It’s great!

    I really like the Switch 2 Pro controller; the controller feels premium and well-built. The sticks glide smoothly, all while having the complete functionality for the console it's for. The thing is, if you have a Switch 1 pro controller or just really like the Joy Cons, you don't need to spend the money on this. It's a really good experience using the controller, especially with the added features of the new HD Rumble, the programmable per-game back buttons, and just the pure comfort. You don't need it, per se, to experience the Switch 2 fully. Especially if you have a Switch one Pro Controller or even a third-party controller, if you're willing to pay the price for the features and to even turn the console on from sleep with it, then yeah, you should get it.

    This is by far the best “Pro” controller out there for the switch has EVRY THING you want in a controller vibrations, amiibo, the programmable back buttons. Best part is the back grip buttons are programmed per game no need to set up multiple profiles like you would the the Xbox and no need to keep reprogramming them to fit your needs like PowerA controllers. Nintendo hit the mark here these buttons are custom programed by you and then tied to the game itself so you can switch games and not have to worry about misreading buttons cause you forgot what was programed on the controller.

    Feels very smooth, grips well, button presses are a nice weight. Added buttons on the back of the controller are also a welcome addition compared to the switch 1 controller. Definitely worth it if you can spare the money.

    The first Switch Pro controller was already phenomenal but the Switch 2 Pro controller is vastly better. Feels amazingly smooth and the joysticks are extremely responsive and smooth. The fit even feels slightly more ergonomic in my opinion but some may feel differently. If you liked the firsy Switch Pro controller you’ll definitely be a fan of this one too.

    A big step up from the switch 1 pro controller

    The finish and feel of this controller is premium, and a big step up from the original pro controller. It has the best back buttons of any controller I've used, as I don't ever accidentally press them when I clench the controller in tense situations. The face buttons are silent too, and the headphone jack is almost a necessity if you want to use a headset in most setups. It's pricey, but a very nice controller overall.

    It's a little smaller than the OG Switch Pro controller but it feels great! Love the addition of the pedal buttons for when the controls in a game aren't quite easy enough to use. Headphone jack is a plus but I finally switched to Bluetooth earbuds so it feels like it came a little too late for me

    An Essential Upgrade

    When I heard that the original Switch Pro controller was compatible with the Switch 2, I didn't think I had to bother with a Pro Controller 2. But once I had the new controller in my hand, there was no going back. It feels so good. The back buttons enhance every game I play. It's my new favorite controller.

    Honestly wasn't sure about it just because I have the original but after getting it and using it for a little bit I realized that it's quite a bit of an upgrade. Smoother better buttons. Better sticks better feel in general. I love how easy it is to assign the back buttons per game on the switch as well without a bunch of menus. Generally pretty great implementation overall. Would highly recommend

    Great remote - no support for PC

    The Pro Controller 2 has become my favorite remote that I own. It's a very quiet and smooth remote that works well with the Switch 2. However, it uses similar stick technology as the Switch so I'm not sure if it will start to drift, so far I haven't experienced any drift. It lacks support for PC which sucks when it costs almost $100. I really enjoy how quiet the sticks and the buttons are. I've never heard anything as quiet and it's hard to go back to anything else. The Dualshock 5 is close, but this one definitely wins in that department. Another benefit of this remote is the rear buttons that can be mapped to any of the buttons on a game by game basis. Compared to my steam deck, the back buttons on this remote are much easier to reach and have a more natural placement than the steam deck. Overall it's a great comfortable remote, but the price, durability and support would make me think twice if I was on a tighter budget or just didn't want to blow $100. If you just need a Switch 2 remote and don't care to use it on PC i would say this is a must buy. If price is an issue I'd say check out the original Switch Pro Controller or an 8BitDo Ultimate/Pro series remote

    Amazing battery life! The color is not only BLK but GRY too. I would need to use this often before even charging this controller. Not to sofr and not to heavy either!
