Customer Ratings & Reviews

The controller is much like the Xbox One. It was easy to sync. I wish I used it more. We don’t typically use the switch in the docking station. It works as it should. It’s nice to have an extra controller for 2 player games. It’s very responsive and lasts a long while in a single charge. I wish it were cheaper. You are better off getting this second hand.

Best controller hands down. Super comfortable and terrific battery life.

The feel of this controller is excellent! I have had some issues with pressing up on the d pad and it registers it as pressing the right. But this is rare either way I am impressed with the feel of the controller

This controller compared to an xbox series X or ps5 controller is night and day. Its an amazing controller and a must have for your Switch.

This controller is much more comfortable to use than the one included with the Switch, but the price is really high compared to a PS4 or XBox controller considering it doesn't really seem to do anything unique.

People will complain about the price, but when compared to a PS4 DS4 controller, it's not that much more expensive. Plus you can get a custom made Xbox One controller for more than this. Overall the build quality is good, it has no NFC and HD Rumble support, and you can charge it using an iPhone USB adapter or simply plugging the included USB-C cable into the Switch Dock.

Great controller for long periods of gaming. Feels great in larger hands.

Better feel and amazing battery life. Perfect for smashing!

Controller has held up much longer than the several joycons I've purchased over the years and is significantly more comfortable if you have large hands.

This controller just feels perfect in the hands. The sticks have an extended range compared to the joy con. The buttons and triggers have that perfect “squish” too. Another benefit is the battery life- it lasts a long time before recharge. Completely satisfied, wish I would have gotten one a long time ago for those long Zelda sessions.

Great weight and grip. I am Smash Bros fan and it is a must.

call me old fashion but I enjoy these legacy controller tpes vs. the two wireless controllers that come with the switch. Battery last long and if you are running low, you can simply use the USB cable and plug in for a charge on a nearby outlet. I typically use my wire adapter. the one thing missing from this controller is an audio jack.

I got the pro controller because the joycons are very small and my hands would hurt after a while of playing. Since buying this controller, I have been able to enjoy my games much more, and it is easier to play games like Overwatch or Fortnite. I also really enjoy that the battery lasts a long time

This is absolutely the best controller I’ve used for Switch. I tried a much less expensive one and it worked fine but didn’t have that good “feel” of this one. It’s responsive, has motion controls, and comfortable.

The best thing about Nintendo's Pro Controller for the Switch is its battery life. I rarely play more than one hour at a time, so I hardly ever need to charge this controller. It is comfortable to hold and the buttons are larger than on the Joy-cons. Its home button wakes up the console in its dock. Response on the TV screen is very tight. No problems to report at all.

We love this controller! We bought two so that the adults in the house could actually play switch games with ease. The joy-con controllers feel too small for my adult hands and my hands are not large. The one drawback is that they are pricey. It would have been nice to get these cheaper.

I love the Pro Controller for the Switch. It makes games so much more fun and easier to play since the Joycon can have drift. They are very durable as well.

Love the pro controller! I got one around the time the switch released, my original is still in working order and wanted a second one for two player games, works great!

It's expensive, especially since it's not *needed* when the joy cons can be used with the include grip, but the pro controller feels great in the hand and its battery life is excellent. It's also very convenient to be able to dock and undock the switch while the joy cons are still attached, and just use the controller once it's docked.

​The 8BitDo Ultimate Controller is a feature-rich, third-party gamepad that stands out as a compelling alternative to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, especially for gamers seeking versatility across multiple platforms.
