Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you bought the Switch to play on the TV you need to buy this. Very comfortable to use for long play sessions and feels a lot better than the joy cons. Would have gave five stars but the price is a bit much.

This pro controller automatically sync to the Nintendo Switch when I plugged in the USB-C cord (included with the controller.) This is a great addition, because you can play it right away when the controller is plugged in to the docked Switch. Versus the joy cons need to be charged to be able to play. It is pricey, but I would recommend having one with your Switch.

This controller is very solid. I would almost go so far as to call it heavy. It is a great controller. The rumble is just right. There are two minor issues I have with the controller: the controller is a bit small for my large hands and the home button is too easy to hit by accident. I still think the controller should get all five stars though.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has quickly become my favorite controller among all of my consoles. The responsive buttons work incredibly well, and overall it feels very solid and sturdy. At first you may be turned away by the high price but compared to my Xbox One Controllers, I feel this outclasses them in every way! A must have for your Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo makes a solid gamepad to offset their JoyCons, but like their JoyCons these Pro controllers are stupid expensive. Nice to be able to add skins too.

The Pro controller is extremely comfortable to hold, it makes playing Zelda way easier for me than using the Joy Cons. It is similar in form to the XB1 controller. It does seem extremely overpriced for a controller, but it is probably due to its included motion controls. Also, it comes with a USB cable to charge the controller with the Switch dock, but I find this useless unless you sit very close to the TV. Bought a second AC adapter cable so I could charge it from a power outlet closer to me, but this was okay since the Switch itself can also use the same cable, making the second cable also usable as a travel charger instead of having to unplug the one from the dock whenever you want to take the system mobile.

I actually enjoy using the Joy-Cons in the included grip that comes with the system, but, being a Nintendo console, you are guaranteed to need at least one other controller at some point (Mario Kart, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Pokken, etc. all are great for multi-player). The Pro controller provides a slightly cheaper option (though still too expensive) than a new Joy-Con pair (especially if you factor in a charging stand for two sets of Joy-Cons), and allows for a more traditional control scheme to games like Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart. Good pick-up if you are looking for that and play in TV mode a lot. You can still use it in handheld mode, but that seems like too much to carry around depending on the circumstances.

This is an amazing controller for the Switch 1 and Switch 2. The only downside with Switch 2 is that it doesn't wake up the console.

Great upgrade from the joycons and no issues with stick drift

This is a great alternative controller to the standard Joy Cons and controller frame that come with the Switch. It's more ergonomic and less awkward for long gaming sessions. I'm a fan of the xbox One X and Series X standard controllers and this is very similar. One difference in the X, Y, A, B layout which after gaming with this for a while could lead to some confusion if you bounce between Consoles. Regardless this is a solid controller with good battery life and I would recommend it to any switch owner looking to purchase additional controllers.

I love this remote. I bought a second once since my little one has been hogging my other pro controller to play Smash and Splattoon 2. He is pretty rough with the controller and it still is working great! The other pro controller was bought 3.3.17, at switch release. Best quality remote, but pricy. Totally worth it though.

This controller is amazing and perfect if your original switch controller has stick shift or if your using a wired controller that doesn’t vibrate

outstanding controller. Didn't break like the switch controllers where it starts drifting, at least I haven't noticed it.

In my opinion, the precision on this controller is better than joy cons. I've never had problems with battery life or disconnect during game play when using this controller. My only complaint is perhaps that the - and + signs aren't shaped like the characters, the way they are on the joy cons. This isn't enough for me to give this product a lower rating though.

I love the ease of use for the amiibo pad. The rechargable battery is a really good feature, no more batteries! Ever since I connected it to my switch, I haven't had any issues.

Bought this controller to use for Tears of the Kingdom, it has been perfect, I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for a stand alone controller for their Switch.

This is a must buy alongside the switch. While using the joycons with thier contoller dock can be a good solution. I doesn't ebay the fact that this one has a godlike D-pad for those great 8-bit titles like Shovel Knight and the upcoming Virtual Console games. Get this knowing the fact that you will now have 3 controllers for 3 players to play on your Switch.

Nintendo really knocked it out of the park with the Switch's "Pro Wireless Controller." Featuring a design layout similar to the "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller," the Pro offers a nice ergonomic shape to it that seriously extends one's gaming time they may not otherwise experience with the Switch's "Joy-Con (L/R) Wireless Controllers." There's a certain quality feel to the Pro: it's heavy, the firm buttons & D-pad make it satisfying to press, the triggers are spongy & responsive, & the large analog sticks have the best grip material. If you're tired of the "Joy-Con Drift" I suggest you purchase this, since I haven't experienced, or came across anyone who had, that issue here. --If an upgraded analog stick isn't enough to sell you, then the Pro Controller's HD Rumble will, which has made playing most of the Nintendo titles an immersive experience. Just make it easier on yourself & pick this controller up sooner than later, you'll be happy you did. Cheers!

Long battery, reliable controller. Every one in house hold love it

It's Nintendo quality, so you know what you're getting. I know people knock the joycons but the standard controller is solid.
