Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Pro Controller is a lot better than using the Joy Con controllers. The build quality makes it feel sturdy & hefty, where as sometimes it feels like you might break the regular Joy Cons.

Upon reading reviews and advice from other Switch owners, I helped my college daughter pick up on one of these Pro Wireless Controllers. Based on feedback from her, this was definitely the right purchase... especially when saving a few bucks during a sale.

Look, I love the switch, I love the idea of the controllers and how they work in tandem. I HATE how small they are, how I feel like I will break them and how they tire my hand. This controller gets rid of all of that, it is perfect, I love it and I have already told multiple people about it!

Got tired of dealing with joycon drift- this is way more comfortable. Game changer for sure and solid craftsmanship.

Sometimes, joycons just don’t cut it when playing competitive games such as Splatoon 2 or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Definitely pick this up over other third party controller for the switch because in the long run, you’ll feel more inclined to use this comfortable, tactile Pro Controller over the included joycons.

Works effectively with the similar hand pattern you're used to with a playstation. Excellent for larger hands that find the switch controller too small.

Why do they hate me? This pro controller gives you a huge advantage over people using the regular small controllers. It allows me to win more games than my friends. It feels good in ,your hands and is good quality. I highly recommend getting one to crush your opponents.

So joycons have a drift and mainly play on my TV so instead buying joy cons and thrn drift problem i bought this. Year later no drift if any vary little but goes away. Still works and good battery power holds for long hours gameplay

This controller is very comfortable and I love that it is rechargeable. I hate controllers that require AA batteries because they die so quickly! This one dies and you can just plug it in immediately.

if you love the switch and you play a lot in dock mode then do yourself a favor and buy this comtroller. its the best option for a beloved switch owner

One of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held, and the buttons feel good to press. It connects to the Switch via Bluetooth and is even able to sync to my windows 10 laptop. Very nice controller, however there are a few things I don't like about it. It lacks analog triggers, something that has become important in games, especially driving games. Also the buttons and analog sticks are very loud. Love the clearish black color, something Nintendo did a lot back in the 90s. Wish the controller had more color varients.

Having been a big fan of the Wii U Pro controller and also worried about the ergonomics of the Switch's included Joy-Con controllers, buying the Switch Pro controller was a must for me. I was pleased to find that it was even more ergonomic and comfortable than the Wii U Pro controller, especially the shape and materials used for the portion that is cradled in the palms of your hand. The analog sticks and trigger buttons both feel great, although the lack of analog triggers is missed. Battery life is excellent, rated at 40 hours -- half that of the Wii U Pro controller, which did not have to devote battery life to new features such as force feedback (HD Rumble,) an NFC reader, and a gyroscope. I only need to recharge it once a week, if that, and that's definitely acceptable. I do have a few qualms with the Switch Pro controller, one of which is a serious design flaw that really hampers my enjoyment of the product. The negligible problem is with the face buttons -- they're just kind of "there;" ugly, boring buttons with sharp edges that stick out a millimeter or two more than they need to. It'd be nice if the edges were flush with the controller when pressed. The serious design flaw is with the D-pad (directional pad.) I frequently get erroneous inputs from it due to its design, despite being on my third refurbished controller from Nintendo. The D-pad is able to be easily rocked up and down via the left and right directions, meaning I get plenty of unintended "up" inputs while pushing left or right. This ranges from inconvenient (choosing runes in Zelda, aiming in Metal Slug, using magic in Shovel Knight) to game-breaking (unintended hard drops in Puyo Puyo Tetris.) It baffles me that Nintendo, the inventor and patent holder of the D-pad, managed to get it so wrong on this controller. It's frustrating to have to avoid using this expensive controller in any game that benefits from using the D-pad over the analog stick. I can't help but laugh that the D-pad was one of the major selling points for me, yet the face-buttons-imitating-D-pad Joy-Con implementation works so much better. If having a D-pad is your top reason for purchasing, be wary. Other than that, it's a pretty solid controller.

Definite upgrade over the standard joycons with great battery life

This controller is very comfortable and I would highly suggest buying if you're going to play titles which will have you seated in front of your TV for hours such as Zelda. The only thing "wrong" with it is the rumble feedback isn't as pronounced as it is in Xbox and PS controllers. Otherwise, this is a great-fitting controller!

The Nintendo Switch Pro controller is an excellent alternative to the joy cons. This controller feels good in your hands and has long battery life. This controller feels just like PS4 and X Box controllers which is a plus for those used to using those controllers. I highly recommend this controller.

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

Expensive but worth to have. wprks perfectly, had an aftermarket that also bought in best buy but after little use started drifting.

This controller is a must for a Nintendo Switch gamer. I bought it for Breath of the Wild after the Joy-Con controller’s analog sticks kept sticking, apparently a very common issue. This pro controller solved that problem and has handled many hours of gameplay from multiple users in my household with no issues.

The Nintendo switch pro style controller is a must have. We have 3 or these now and everyone in my family prefers to game on this controller. Its a comfortable controller. I holds charge for 30+ hours of game play. I have two of these that I picked up when the Switch launched. They are starting to register false positive movement on the joy stick but are probably 90 reliable still. We game a lot so I consider this to be ok for the amount of wear we put on them.

Better grip and easier to play than regular controller
