Customer Ratings & Reviews

It feels comfortable to hold. The charge lasts a long time. I have large hands so this feels better than the small controllers that come with the system. I think it will last longer than the original controllers will also. And it costs less than the original controllers.

The included Switch controllers are nice but They are somewhat small and thin. if you are used to Xbox or Playstation controllers then this Pro controller is for you. I prefer this Pro controller for the size, feel, and quality. It also connects quickly and responds perfectly during gameplay. Game on...

Very nice!! A well made controller that you do not want to put down. The size/feel is so much better than the joy-con or dual joy-con setup, and so far it does not slip out of my kids hands like with other controllers... I can't wait to blow his mind with the amiibo support.

I pre-ordered this Switch Pro controller because of reviews of the Zelda game, saying this was the best controller to play that title. I have to agree! While the joy-cons work great with the Switch in handheld mode, I didn't care for the way the joy-cons feel in the included grip, so I could play Zelda on my TV. As far as I can tell, the Pro controller has most (if not all) of the same features as the joy-cons, including gyroscope, NFC reader for Amiibo, etc. Pro controller is listed to have 40 hours of play before needing to be recharged. I'm not sure how that compares to joy-cons, but I know it is more time. Pro controller automatically synced to my Switch the moment I plugged in the USB-C cord (included with the controller) to the Switch dock and then to my controller. I've lost no wireless connections between the pro controller and the Switch at all when playing Zelda. I highly recommend this accessory. It is pricey, but not a waste of money!

Got this for playing the Switch in docked mode since the joycons kind of bother my wrists. The Pro controller is super comfortable, like a slightly smaller XBox One pad. The battery life is excellent, I was able to go 2 weeks before having to plug it in. It also includes rumble, motion sensors, and an amiibo reader. Expensive, but worth it in the end.

Wow this controller feels solid not cheap, makes playing games easy..it pairs up fast with switch,and batteries last a very long time..the buttons are so soft and smooth,the d pad is smooth,all tge buttons feel easy to press.this controller beats all wired controller hands down..it rechargeable that last hours .love this so much.

It's a real shame that Nintendo doesn't include this controller in the box, it's fantastic. Aside from its great battery life and comfortable design, the only negative thing about this controller is the price. Try and wait for a sale to snag one. It makes playing games on the switch a much more console-like and enjoyable experience.

This Nintendo Switch Pro controller is a great purchase. It’s well-made, comfortable, and adds value to gaming by allowing play away from the screen perfect for longer sessions without being too close to the screen. Highly recommend for Switch users!

I've had my switch for almost two years. Ever since purchasing this controller and using it for my switch I've logged more playtime on the Switch in the past two weeks than I have all year in total. This controller is THE TRUTH. Yes, I know the price is steep believe me. I live very comfortably and make very good money and still I was hesitant on this purchase. It took one of my friends to finally convince me to purchase this controller and sure enough he was right (He only plays PC and Switch). This controller is a game changer. If you can stomach the cost then you will be more than happy with this controller. Literally changes the switch in an awesome way! Plus, now my big hands don't hurt when I'm getting my Switch on for literal hours on end at times. This controller + Pokemon Unite Ranked. GG2EZ WORTH IT!

I don't consider myself an expert on wireless controller but this one is everything I need. The grip is comfortable, the battery life lasts a LONG time, and the darn thing works. I can't tell you how many controllers I've had that got maybe 3 or 4 uses and something went wrong. this things feels durable and has a nice weight to it.

I know its a little pricey but this is one fine controller for the Switch. Perfect balance, perfect size and weight, perfect stick and button placement and feel and it has a ridiculously long play time of up to 40hrs. Also supports HD rumble, motion and Amiibo scanning........if you want a great traditional dual stick for your Switch...this is it.

very nice accessorybfor nintendo swith. very durable and light weight. highly recommended.

If you can get this controller on sale, it is a definite must have for every switch owner. Aside from the mediocre D-pad, this controller is packed with features no third party controller can compare to (NFC, HD Rumble, wireless, etc). This is also probably one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used.

I was worried that Nintendo wouldn't put much thought or effort into the design since they don't want to make traditional controllers any more, even though every other controller today is just a modified Super NES controller. It's much more comfortable than the joy-con in the comfort grip. As much as I love and support Nintendo's innovation, sometimes it's just nice to use a more traditional controller, particularly when playing a game that has no need for unconventional control schemes. It's easier to pick this up and start playing in docked mode than to detach the joy-con from the Switch and put them in the comfort grip. This allows you to leave the joy-con attached, so they'll always be charged up if you want to play undocked or need a second controller for multiplayer. The texture on the handle grips is a nice touch. It's great having a real D-pad. The only downside is that this thing hardly goes on sale. Retail price is ridiculous as with all other pricing for Switch related accessories. I found this for twenty bucks off and piled on a reward certificate and gift card to bring the price way down.

Works wonderfully! Batteries last a long time very comfortable to hold buttons are in fact close enough for great thumb control and comfort the black matches my console perfectly charging is easy and simple!

This controller has great battery life and is comfortable to use. It is over priced, but so is every other OEM controller out there.

I ended up buying one of these after my joycons succumbed to stick drift, which didn't exactly fill me with confidence in regards Nintendo's current quality standards, but I'll say after almost a month of use I've come to like it quite a bit. Personally I wasn't too fond of the toy-like quality of the joycons so having a solid traditional controller feels much better for the majority of games I play. It's shaped very ergonomically and the sticks and buttons all feel sufficiently responsive and satisfying to use. I also really like the clear plastic on the front of it, adds a lot of charm. There is one major flaw though, the dpad. Compared to the rest of the controller it not only feels cheap, but has a tendency to return the wrong inputs that you weren't intending to press. This makes 2d games that require a lot of precision, like Tetris 99 for example, far more difficult than they would be otherwise. Personally I already owned an 8bitdo M30 controller for 2d gaming on my Switch so this wasn't an issue for me, but if you're expecting a versatile controller that works well for both 2d and 3d games, this is definitely not it. Otherwise if you're looking for a better way to play Mario Odyssey, Astral Chain, Breath of the Wild and the like, this won't disappoint.

This controller is great if you have bigger hands and the normal switch controllers are just a little too small for you! So far no drift or any other issues with it. It is a little pricy but if you can snag it during a sale it is definitely worth it.

this controller is great and I would say a must buy for a switch. I never had any drift issues with it and the battery is a beast. It lasts for ever. I'm not a heavy gamer and I probably charged this thing just 3 or 4 times in a year span of owning it.

This is perfect. I was using this JoyCons that come with the switch but when I play for extended periods those JoyCons feel small and uncomfortable. This is very comfortable to use the grips are good the button sizes are perfect and battery life is good
