Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you have a Nintendo Switch and are used to controllers like the Playstation or XBox, then you need to buy this controller. Obviously there are some games that you'll need the Joy-Con's for, but for solo playing, FPS games, Zelda, Mario, etc., it's a must have. It is fully motion enabled, has built in haptic feedback (rumbles, feel explosions, etc.), it has substantial weight that makes it feel really solid in your hands. And of course it feels like a real controller. No matter how I try I just can't "believe" in those tiny Joy-Con controllers. They feel rinky-dink and fake to me. Don't hesitate, buy this if you are a serious gamer.

This is the best controller I have ever owned! The material, vibration, and battery are of the best quality! The controller melts in your hand, and it does not bother you at all on long play times.

Great controller. Sets the standard for all others. I think I like it even more than my (beloved) Xbox controller. They are very similar to each other of course, but this controller feels more refined somehow. This is the second time I've purchased this because I sold my first one to my nephews when I sold them my old switch. But I missed having this controller so I bought another one.

I purchased the switch pro controller mostly for when friends/family wanna play games on my switch, it's similar to an xbox one/360 controller which alot of people are used to so that's a good thing. The grip handles, battery and build quality seem great, something you can always expect from nintendo. I personally haven't used the controller much only because i like the joy cons. Alot of people aren't used to the joy cons tho, i want friends/family to play with comfortable controller's when we game together and so far everyone says the pro controller is great. It's a little pricey for a controller but i think the built in NFC and HD rumble more than make up for that, bottom line it's a great controller and i will definitely be buying a few more soon.

It's a great product. Performs well and has great battery life. I love using the Pro Controller more than the Joy-Cons for my Switch because it feels like a video game controller that I'm used to using. My only complaint is that $69.99 is A LOT for a controller that does the same thing that two Joy-Cons do and isn't supported by several games. Best Buy's online price of $56.99 is what made me even consider purchasing.

This controller is a much better quality than the other Switch alternatives out there. The batter life is great, the rumble is awesome, and it feels good in the hands. The Switch joy-cons don't compare to this one. Likes: Quality; color; rumble; battery life; USB-C charging Dislikes: Maybe offer some other color options? Oh, by the way: A year later and this thing is working like it did on day one. I haven't had any issues with this controller. If you feel like you might have issues down the road, buy the geek squad protection plan, I have used those in the past and they have come in handy!

If you don't like the joycons, then the pro controller is the thing to get. The build quality is very solid, and this has an excellent battery life (at least compared to how long my PS4 controllers last). All the buttons feel great (especially the d-pad), and I've never experienced any issues. My only criticism is the controller is kind of pricey, and there are not that many special editions released for it.

Holds a nice charge, perfect size to hold and a good weight. Doesn't feel cheap like other controllers do. Overall this is my favorite controller for my switch.

I ordered online and it took forever to get here i payed for same day and it didn't come on time or the same day at all not even the next day but over all controller was amazing would buy again in store only

Right now this is the best controller on the Nintendo Switch. Period. End of story. If you're looking for a controller, you can stop your search here. It's also the best controller that Nintendo has produced since the SNES. It's exceptionally comfortable, has tremendously good battery life and works natively with the PC. But it's got a few problems: firstly, no headset jack. That's a real shame, the console itself has one, so why doesn't the Pro Controller? Also, it's really too bad they went with digital triggers instead of analog triggers, I suspect that will hurt future third party titles, racing games and first person shooters especially will play worse on this controller than on the XB1's for example. Those complaints aside, this is a terrific controller.

You can use this controller plugged in or unplugged! Great choice instead of constantly having to buy batteries! My son uses it daily for hours before he charges it again.

Vey good paddle easy to use works well with the system

If you’re like me, I was researching controllers and was torn between this one and the one with programmable buttons on the bottom (enhanced controller). I ultimately chose this one for the rechargeable battery, haptic feedback/rumble, and NFC support (the enhanced controller doesn’t have these features). After using this one for a few months I love it and couldn’t imagine playing games with the little joy-cons like I used to. At roughly the same price as most Switch games, I’d recommend trying to find it on sale, but I think it’s worth the hefty price.

The joy cons are nice and all but a little small when Dad wants to play. I have an Xbox 360 and a PS4 dual shock and this is by far my favorite controller of the 3. Good size and weight. Very comfortable.

My original Nintendo Switch pro controller lasted over 3,000 hours of gaming and finally fell victim to the joystick drift… very easy choice to replace this - it’s most comfortable controller for my big hands to hold… really don’t do well with the joycons . Love that the pro controller is wireless and has long battery life!

I love this controller. it feels nice in my hands. I love the thumbsticks, they feel like the PS4 controller's. my only negative is the price but when it has such a lomg battery life, I think it's okay

It’s a bit expensive but it is very well made and has an amazing battery life. It is far superior then the controller that comes with the switch. I highly recommend getting it.

Great controller. It comfortable and light. Battery life is amazing. I can play all week before i need to charge it.

Bought this for when I had my Switch docked and am playing for a while. It is a lot more comfortable then the joy cons. Price is a little much, but it's by far the best controller you can get for the Switch.

More comfortable than constantly using Small Joy-Cons. Wireless is big help than a Wired controller. Charge time lasts longer than PS controllers.
