Customer Ratings & Reviews

The control works but feels like very cheap plastic, and that it could fall apart at any time.

And its great I have bc avg suzed hands but using the buttons on the underside does nothing for me and instead makes my hand feel a lot more cramped.

Like it but suck that I cant do three players with this and the other two controllers that comes with the switch that’s a scam

The controller came in perfect condition. The box was flawless, and the controller itself looked and felt premium right out of the packaging. However, when I started using it, I immediately noticed a pretty noticeable problem. There is an input delay that makes it almost unplayable for any competitive games like Smash or even the new Mario Kart World. It feels like the controller is lagging – commands take longer to register, and sometimes it stays stuck on a previous input longer than it should. For example, when I press A, the response is delayed, and the input seems to stay active slightly longer than intended, throwing off gameplay entirely. I tried everything to fix it, including reconnecting the controller, restarting the console, and even deleting all saved controllers and pairing it again, but the issue remains. I compared it directly with my previous generation Switch Pro Controller, and the difference is clear. The old one works perfectly in switch 2, while this new one has severe responsiveness issues. As much as I wanted to use this new controller, I simply can’t. I’ll be sticking with my original Switch Pro Controller for now. Really disappointed.

Controller feels great but a bit too expensive. Not worth upgrading from the old pro controller.

This controller is horrible! I had to return this controller 3 times. Each controller that I got would work for a day and just stopped working.

Doesn't have the same game play as the joy cons. Was disappointed in the grip and playability.

one button is not working, I bought for my son and he opened and one button doesn't work

People raved about this when the Switch 2 came out, I hated it in comparison to the original Pro Controller. Felt cheap for the price.

Horrible shipping! I order 2 days ago and it still hasn't shipped when it was supposed to arrive next day. Definitely will go with Amazon next time.

Why not an OLED screen? The black levels are terrible.

The top is plastic, not metal. $90 is a rip off considering it’s Nintendo

This controller is the best Nintendo controller I've ever used. I never purchased the Switch 1 Pro controller but I can tell this is a nice upgrade. It's light in the hands, the joysticks glide smoothly, and the mappable back buttons are extremely useful. You can map the buttons to individual games as well which is very convenient when switching between games. If you have a Switch 2 I think this controller is essential.

As an IT professor who evaluates hardware with a heavy emphasis on ergonomics, performance, and long-term value, I'm usually meticulous about accessory purchases. I picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller in black to accompany the new Switch 2 system, and it has proven to be an excellent addition—one that noticeably elevates the gaming experience. I originally purchased it for my son, and he enjoys the improved control and comfort it provides. From a technical standpoint, Nintendo has refined this model in all the ways that matter. The controller offers a more substantial grip, well-balanced weight distribution, and responsive buttons that feel far more precise.

If you already have a pro controller, this isn't a "necessary" upgrade. But it is smooth, it's super quiet, the buttons are soft and punchy. The '-' and '+' buttons are more pronounced. The big standout for this controller for me is how SMOOTH the thumbsticks are to use and play with. It makes virtually no texture or weird feelings when pushing to the edge, pretty quiet, and overall a comfortable controller. I just feel like I could have kept this purchase on the back end since I already had a pro controller from Switch 1. The price is the biggest hurdle here. Kind of an insane ask when you can port over older hardware, even without the C chat button.

It’s lighter, feels more premium and the extra buttons are a much needed improvement! The color scheme looks awesome as well with the two tone look.

This PRO controller is awesome! Good form-factor and the quality of the plastic feels nice in your hands. Good weight to it too.

I love my Switch 2 controller, I really want to try the chat button to talk to other players.

The Switch 2 is already a fantastic gaming device, but this controller makes it a 6/5 star experience.

Good but not the best. I like my 8bitDo better, The sticks in this controller could drift as they are not TMR or hall effect. I like the feel of the 8bitDo better as well, My advice would be to save a few bucks and get the 8bitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller 2 instead. I got the Yellow one which has so much more character than this one does. I expected this controller to blow me away and it didn't. One thing I can recommend is the BestBuy open box sales. I bought one in "good" condition, and I think the only reason it got that rating was the condition of the box. It has a small tear in it. The controller itself looks and feels brand new. So, save yourself some money and go for the open box.
