Great sturdy wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch. This is very comfortable to use and the charge seems to last a long time. We usually plug it in at the end of the day and let it charge overnight or until the next time it's needed. This is much easier than using the switch controllers that I always thought felt too delicate to use for too long. Those can now stay attached to the switch in the dock for when you need to take the switch away with you. After purchasing this controller the switch controllers have not been off of the switch. Recommend buying this for anyone needing a controller that seems to be built to last. I don't think kids could break this one as easy as the delicate feeling switch controllers attached to the console. It is a bit over priced I think but all Nintendo stuff is.

While the price is a little higher than competitors' controllers, the Switch Pro Controller has a lot of tech inside, including an NFC reader and motion controls. It feels comfortable in your hands and is much better suited for extended play than the system's included Joy-Cons. Has a very good battery life of around 40 hrs.

I wish there were more color options but I have no complaints about this controller. The buttons are sturdy, I LOVE that it's wireless, and the battery lasts for a long time. I've played several hours of sessions without having to charge it.

Nintendo is famous for always making the best controller option well....their controller option. 3rd party nintendo controllers just never quite felt as good since the super nintendo days. This is worth the buy also because there are also a lot of adapters for say using an xbox or ps4 controller given fancy bluetooth nowadays...but then you have to worry about firmware updates and pairing and button options...you get my point. I own a pc, xbox, ps4 and a switch. I would say more comfortable than both the dualshock 4 but not as comfortable as an xbox elite controller. Connection is consistent, buttons are crisp, joystick are smooth with a good range of motion and although i have those kontrol freek caps on my ps4 and xbox controllers i don't think I'll need them for this switch pro controller as the joysticks are a great texture out of the box. motion controls are awesome too. and the battery truly is somewhere around 30ish hours or more...i have not had to recharge it yet in over a month.

Great joystick in terms of the fell and grip. Its a bit expensive compared to others, but I'll pay the extra $$, instead of using batteries. This joysticks comes with a rechargeable battery. My son loves it and the charge last for at least 8 hours. J

I love this controller. It functions well and works fast while I'm paying games. All the buttons move smoothly and it connects with my games quickly.

I’ve gotten a number of different controllers for my Nintendo switch and this is by far the best one. Charges easy, feels great to hold, and is lightweight. Would recommend this controller to anyone.

If you aren’t using a pro controller for your Nintendo switch you need to. This are really comfortable, battery last for several days of heavy use, and they are sturdy and don’t drift like the joycons.

I love this controller. Works wonderfully. I was a little unsure because of the price but it is worth it. I did quite a bit of research and I suggest if you are on the fence of getting this (the real deal, The Name Brand) or getting some off brand, Go This Route. If you buy some cheap no brand stuff from Amazon, high chance you will regret it later. You will probably end up buying another one to the point that it would add up to the price of this one, which will last for a long time unless you deliberately break it. If you are concerned about the price go for an open box or use a trustworthy brand. I also own an Afterglow pro NS controller which works really good. One other thing is that these controllers are a lot nicer and easier to work with (whilst in TV or Tabletop mode) than the Joy-Cons.

If you're one of those players who see a weighty controller as a sign of quality then you'll be very happy with the heft on the Switch Pro Controller for sure. Pleasingly, it also feels really solid - there are no awkward hollow plastic noises when you tap your way around the chassis, and button presses don't produce any awkward loud clicks. I own an Xbox Elite 2 Controller, an Xbox regular controller(released 2-3 yrs ago), a PS5 controller, and this Pro controller. This one has the best weight sensation for me, I'm a 5'2" girl. Yet I still feel this controller is a little bit overpriced (and the PS5 controller is even more overpriced). But you really get no choice when you want to have a controller on your Switch and can't buy anything better at a better price.

Great controller. Battery life is amazing, after about 24 hours of gameplay I wondered what the charge was at and it wasn't below 50%. The grips feel very nice and it is very comfortable to hold in my hands. The sticks also allow for better aiming than the joy-cons, in games where aiming is crucial.

I love this controller except for one flaw. The controller feels comfortable to hold, is responsive and holds a long battery charge so you get to game for quite a while before having to recharge it. However, like the joy-cons, this controller will eventually start to drift. I've never had this issue with any other Nintendo controllers but I guess something is off with the Switch generation. On my 2nd controller after a few years.

Feels good and weighty. I think its overpriced but its still the best controller you can get for the switch.

The controller is a bit more expensive than I would have liked but if you’re a TV gamer and aren’t using the switch as a portable then it’s a must-have accessory. The Pro controller doesn’t exhibit any of the lag or connectivity issues of the normal controllers and is much more natural to hold.

Pro Wireless Controller: excellent build, precise controls, long battery life — perfect for serious gamers!

Feels great in the hand, super comfortable, and ultra long battery life. It's pricey compared to the alternatives but very well worth it (and much better than using the joy-cons in the cradle).

Having to buy a new pro controller to replace one with stick drift isn’t my favorite circumstance, but buying from Best Buy did make the experience painless. Simple to find online, and delivered quickly. The pro controller itself remains pretty great despite eventually developing stick drift like all modern controllers; needs to be charged maybe once a week even when playing Tears of the Kingdom heavily everyday, and comfort which may be even better than the PS5’s dualsense controller.

It is without hyperbole that I personally call this controller the best console controller on the market as of right now. It just feels the most comfortable. Not to mention, through Bluetooth, it works as a PC controller as well. It's a tad pricey, but I am not at all disappointed with the quality.

Exactly what I needed. Good controls out of the box, no analog triggers if you're concerned about that but to me I don't need them anyways, no back buttons as well and I prefer that as I accidentally hit them anyways.

If you have a Nintendo switch then you need this controller. The handles are textured to provide additional grip for long gaming hours. Extremely comfortable and very long battery life. I purchased mine at launch and charged this only once! If you have big hands like me don't rely on the joy cons.
