    The $70 pill was hard to swallow, but oh has it been worth it! For Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 it has been invaluable. I use it now for every single game. Solid build, never had connection issues, feels good in the hands. Hopefully the price will drop over time so more people will give it a go.

    Way better to use this than the joy cons the switch comes with. This is way smoother to use and fits to the hand better, I think.

    The best controller for the Switch

    Nintendo has found a balance between the PS4 and Xbox One controller and has made a worthy entry in to the annuls of controller history. It is not too lite, the wireless connection is sharp and spot-on, and the battery just won't quit. If you have a Switch, you need this controller.

    Very good quality, much better than the cheaper brand Best Buy sells, which we also own one of. This one holds a charge longer and the sticks and buttons just feel higher quality. Deffinitly worth the higher price over the off brand model.

    Bought this to play Mario Kart and Zelda. Super comfortable controller especially if you’re used to playing on a Xbox or PS4. Analog sticks allow for more precision movements, triggers and bumpers feel nice. You can even use your Amiibos on this.

    This controller works much better than the controller that comes with the system. There are no left controller dropped connection issues and the device feeks more comfortable in the hand. Also the left buttons work better for me. Highly recommended though a shame the controller with the game system isn't as good.

    I personally don't like the joy cons - they are too small and don't seem as responsive to my inputs as I'm used to with my Xbox or PS4. This controller is more like I'm used to. Comfortable with normally positioned inputs. Would recommend for your primary Switch controller.

    Controller itself is excellent. Great feel in the hand with solid button press and analog feel. The accelerometer is a nice feature for games like Breath of the Wild but not critical in my mind. The price is significantly to high for my liking but at this point it is the best option for a Switch controller.

    Nintendo is the king of overpricing and here is no different. However this does have Bluetooth and gyro capability so I can sort of justify the extra cash required for it....sort of. All in all a fantastic controller that is definitely the go to when playing shooters like Splatoon 2 or Doom.

    One of the best controllers I've used, but pricey

    The Nintendo Gamecube controller has always been my favorite controller, but the Pro Wireless Controller for the Nintendo Switch may be a contender for that spot. It's similar to the Wii U Pro Controller, but has a little more heft to it and the material has more texture, making it easier to grip. It's very comfortable and just feels so good in your hand. I think it's the ideal controller for playing Switch games in docked mode (and probably tabletop mode too). The only reason I've giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the price, which is a little high for a controller in my opinion.

    I've had a Nintendo Switch for 5-6 years and always found the dual JoyCons setup a little "not-so-ergonomic," especially as a man with rather large hands. They're just a little too square when they're in the holder. Anyway, I got this Pro Controller while playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and the enjoyment of using it is night and day compares to the JoyCons. Controllers make all the difference in what a game feels like to play. Between this and the official SNES controller remake issued by Nintendo, things are pretty good :)

    We were steered toward this controller after talking with multiple gamers both at the store and in the community. I’m very happy we did our research. The controller is easy to use and has a nice grip. My teen is happy so I’m happy

    I wasn't really knowing what to expect going into it, other than it was 10$ more than competitors controllers. Once I got my hands on it, I really like the feel, and usability with the Switch. This is a MUST own for anyone who has a Nintendo Switch. Much better than the standard joycons in a joycon grip setup.

    This is a must-have for Switch users. Games are so much more fun and effective with this controller vs the tiny, awkward supplied controller. The motion control is still useable as well. Feels better built than competing console controllers.

    Great alternative to switch controller. If you’re not used to the switch controllers or just don’t like the way they feel in your hands this makes so much more sense. Obviously it feels just like an Xbox or PlayStation controller and is about 80% similar to the actions of the switch controller.

    This is a very well crafted controller. While it may be expensive, there is a great deal of technology packed into this lightweight and battery efficient controller. The pro controller comes with a usb-c cable to charge the system either while playing or when in sleep mode. Highly recommended for any Switch owner.
