Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller works very well for both the switch 1 and 2, it's also a lot more comfortable to use than the joy-cons, especially if find them to be too small.

This controller is great. If you're even remotely a casual player, this is a must have controller for the switch. Spent way too many hours using the switch joy cons on Zelda and finally making the "switch" to this made a world of difference (pun intended). However, I took off 1 star because I have been experiencing that d-pad sensitivity issue that many have been reporting. To be honest, it's not THAT bad. You'd just occasionally have to be a bit more pronounced when pressing any of those buttons on the d-pad. But again, we can easily point the finger back to Nintendo for allowing such a poor design to pass. My other complaint is that the controller is a bit pricey. How can you justify a $70 price point when the other consoles vary between 40-60? Other than that small defect, the battery life is actually really great, the controller holds very comfortably and everything else functions as you'd expect. If you're willing to overlook that small d-pad issue and the price point, investing in this controller is a no brainer. My actual review score would be 3 1/2 stars but it looks like we can't do half star reviews on this site.

The Nintendo Switch pro controller is a must have addition for you ur gaming needs. The layout is similar to the legendary Xbox 360 controller with offset analog sticks, and larger buttons. The included D-pad is a must for fighting games, platformers, and classic retro games. I love the cushioned grips on the side of the controller, which also gives the player added support. The build quality of the controller is outstanding and completely is an upgrade to the previous plastic centric Wii U Pro Controller. It has some weight to it. After playing for hours, my hand never tires due to the supreme comfort. This year Nintendo has sealed their comeback and answered gamer's prayers with the best Nintendo controller in years.

They must have controller battery life great stable, very light. Just a very good dependable controller. You get a very good charge time as well.

I purchased one of these awhile ago, second hand and not working was able to get it working and I honestly feel that this is one of the most comfortable controllers of all time so far. I love using this controller it has good weight to it is comfortable in your hands and can be used wireslessly. You can plug the USB to usb-c cord right into your switch dock to either charge or use it as a wired controller. Bought this one to have an extra(aka have my own due to my six year old stealing all my stuff). It's not needed but I'm so glad I purchased this prefer it over the joycons all day.

Nintendo does things right. I am very happy with this purchase even though this controller is rather expensive. It holds a charge really well. I can go for a week of playing (at least a few hours every day) before it needs charging. It's very comfortable to hold and I love the build quality of it. The buttons are nicely placed and a joy to use. It's great that it's wireless, I really enjoy that. I've never had any connection issues.

Coming from the Nintendo Wii U, I was not a fan of the Joy-Con controller that the Switch came with. Knowing that we would need additional controllers for all of the family and friends that would come over to play, I was very happy to see that they had the wireless pro controller as an option. We've been using them for a little over a week now and we have no complaints. Although I've started to get used to the Joy-Con controller, I much prefer to use my wireless pro controller, and my 9 and 7 year olds do as well. The charge holds well on the controller, and I don't experience any lag when playing.

A controller is definitely a must for the Switch and this one is basically the standard. The build quality is quite high and has a good weight to it. The design is nice with a semi-transparent face which is a good touch. The handles are textured and the overall feel is good for long play sessions. The sticks feel much more accurate compared to the joy cons due to the larger size. It also can be charged with a USB-C which is really convenient! I charge mine from the dock, but you can also use your own charger (one is not provided). If you are used to an Xbox controller, this is very similar in terms of size and layout. However, I mainly played with a Playstation which controllers are much longer and have a totally different grip. This takes some getting used to. The Switch Pro Controller's handles still feel short to me even though my hands are not that large. My hands also feel too close together which can become uncomfortable. Overall this is a great product but is honestly overpriced. I wanted to get the official controller to try to get the best experience. I believe you get the most authentic rumble from this and the joy cons, something the 3rd party controllers cannot replicate.

My son loves this product. He says the grip and the joysticks feel great and he loves the design. When he charged it he said it was quick and that the battery charge lasted for a long time. 2 months of usage and it feels like brand new. From the grip to the battery charge, this really is a great product. I definetely recommend this. The right price for this controller should be $35-$40

The Pro controller is the only controller I use for my Switch. It has an exceptionally long battery life, and I’ve never encountered any issues with stick drift.

The Switch Pro Controller is a must have for any gamer that wants to have the best experience possible with their new console. I will admit I was on the fence about picking this up because of the higher price than other controllers but I really think that it is worth the extra cost. The button/stick layout is very similar to an Xbox One controller which is much appreciated. This controller has a solid feel and is a bit on the heaver side. It feels incredible in the hands and is eons better than the bundled joycon controller grip. Once these are available for order again definitely pick one up. You wont be disappointed.

If you've ever thought the joy cons felt a little small, get the Pro Wireless controller. Just the right weight and feel for larger (than a child's) hands. The first time I played Mario Kart the difference was very notable. It's not a replacement for joy cons if you play motion control games like Just Dance, but for the Mario series and other platformers I highly recommend it. Best Buy regularly knocks ten bucks off the price so go for it when they do.

The layout clearly mimics the layout of the Xbox controllers. This controller feel nice and sturdy in your hands while also retaining a light weight to it. I play using this controller for nearly all my games that support it. Sometimes I just want to play with a classic feeling controller and this is it. Sometimes the D-Pad registers incorrectly. Definitely one of Nintendo's weakest D-Pads but its serviceable. That's my only complaint. Pretty pricey though. Still, a worthy edition to your peripherals at a lower price.

This is the best controller for nintendo switch. It feels great and i have more control over my characters when i play super smash.

This controller is great, I bought it because I wanted to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with my wife. It feels great, I now use it to play Zelda when the switch is docked, so the joy cons stay attached to the system. Another great thing is that I have only charged it once since I bought, meaning the battery lasts a while. Usually my PS4 controllers need to be recharged after a couple of play sessions. I paid full price for it which I believe is a little much compared to controllers for other systems, however I think it's worth it. No brainer if it is on sale.

This is my new favorite controller. It’s comfort grip has a tactile feel missing from my PS5 dual sense - It just feels natural in your hands. I like the oversized buttons and the direction pad is top notch. Where it really shines is the mind boggling battery life. I played all weekend and the battery life still showed 100%! (And this is with games that utilize the rumble feature). Compare this to the PS5 dual sense where you have to make sure to charge it after every gaming session. Now it doesn’t have haptic feedback or analog feature for the triggers, but that’s not really a big deal for me based on the style of Nintendo games. The only thing missing is a headphone jack - which I don’t use. I highly recommend for switch owners!

this is the controller to get if you plan on playing for any extended length of time. if you play for several hours daily, it will last for 4-5 days. smaller hands may take some getting used to, but you shouldn't experience much fatigue from holding this controller for long periods. it's more durable than a dualshock 4, but perhaps not as durable as an xbone controller. this is my 3rd pro controller, and the first two are still as responsive as this one. no drift on the sticks, either.

So much better than the joycons. No glitching and the battery lasts 20+ hours. I have 3 older ones as well, and they are durable.

My favorite way to play the switch at home is using this controller on my switched connected to my TV. The batter lasts hours of gameplay and charges quickly, tapping the home button (if already initially paired) will start up the console from the couch and enable you to start playing without getting up haha. The grip and feel are spot on albeit a tad on the larger size (i have medium sized hands), but still very comfortable and smooth

I love the novelty and practicality of using the Switch’s JoyCon controllers however I still love the traditional feel of a controller and this controller feels as sturdy and pro-like as Nintendo has ever had. It’s the second best controller behind the GameCube. The only negative I have is the D-pad but the wireless capabilities, ability to use it on PC and battery life are very good. If you can find it on sale, it’s definitely worth it to replay your games without JoyCon.
