Customer Ratings & Reviews

I keep giving Nintendo my money. I bought it as I started playing Zelda BOTW and didn't particularly like playing with the joycons attached. Hated to layout another 70 bucks for a controller... but I did and I'm satisfied. Build quality on this is better than my Xbox, and the battery lasts seemingly forever. I love the feel of this compared to the Xbox controllers too. Dang, you Nintendo... now I have 4 joycons (for Mario cart), plus an extra controller, plus a charger, plus the plastic steering wheels. What will you make me buy next :).

This controller is best controller I’ve ever used in my entire gaming life. Absolutely no complaints at all. Great battery life, great durability and great comfort. Great controller

Feels solid and smooth. Motion and nfc support are nice. The battery lasts forevvvvvveeeerrrr. Pricey but more comfortable for long gaming sessions. Also works with pc(Bluetooth or usb) out of the box.

Its probably the highest quality controller they made for the switch. I would use it over the joycons anyday.

I was worried these would not be so great since the joycons break so easily, but I have not had any problems with my pro controller. I bought this one as a second one so no one has to endure using the joycons. I have owned one pro controller since the night the switch was released and it is great. It has a battery that lasts about 10 hours of playing. It has a light, but not cheap weight to it. The controls themselves are very reactive and springy. I highly recommend this if you own a switch or if you are able to play a switch and just show up with your own controller and dominate.

I used the $20-ish wired controller prior to this. And after initially thinking that controller was cheap but serviceable, I eventually hated using it. Compared to using the cheap controller or using the joycons with the middle connector to make them into a controller (sorry I don't know the proper name for that), this controller makes playing the Switch feel premium. This might actually be my favorite controller of all time. Unfortunately, this is too expensive at full price. I recommend buying this if you prefer playing your Switch docked, but you should wait for a good sale.

The price is a little steep, but it is absolutely worth picking up if you plan on doing any long amount of gaming on the Switch. It is a comfortable controller, and everything feels good on it.

It's a pretty intuitive controller, easy to use, good natural feel to it and perfect for long gaming sessions. I use it regularly and it's held up for hours on end of gaming without leaving my hands sore. The battery life is also amazing. It's nice not to worry about frequent charging. But my favourite part is that nothing obstructs its connectivity. I have my Switch set up in the living room and whether it's a blanket or table etc in between the controller and the console, it still works perfectly. I've had no sudden messages about lost connection, unlike the standard Joycons. It's a little pricy but worth getting in my opinion.

The joy cons are great but this controller is you are still able to use motion controls which is nice. Its very comfortable and has a long battery life. If you are a casual gamer stick with joy cons. If you gamer who plays a lot this controller is worth the peice.

Controller feels comfortable, saves the wear and tear of removing the joy-cons from the sides of the console. Long lasting too. Essential if you want to play on the TV. Expensive, but worth it

Great controller, works well, durable, and functional. Definitely better than off brand controllers, and a great choice if you prefer the standard controller grip to dual joy con. Has great battery life, never ran it out as long as I charge it every day or two overnight, and sticks have yet to experience drift.

Best controller money can buy! Highly recommend for gamers!

Great controller, feels great playing first person shooter games! Has a good weight as well!

This is controller definitely has become a huge part in my Nintendo switch gaming experience. I very much appreciate the look of the joy cons but as for someone with larger hands they do lack size. This pro controller has made it possible for me for to enjoy long hours of gaming with an ergonomic feeling someone with large hands would really appreciate. On top of that, it’s wireless! This is a must for those with large hands and honestly anyone who enjoy traditional gaming controllers.

Joy Cons are fine when playing with others, but this controller is what I prefer to use when playing solo. It is more comfortable to hold in my hands. If you’re more familiar with other controllers, like an Xbox or PlayStation controller, you’ll feel at home with this. I feel like Nintendo accessories can be a bit on the pricey side, so if you have the disposable income AND joy cons are uncomfortable/too small, this is a no brainer. Easy to connect and it charges with the switch docking station.

I had 1 of these and was really happy with it. Bullet-proof and near impossible to break (stepped on it 1x - and I'm NOT a lightweight..) Bought a second so that my wife can join in with the games I play with family, knowing it's better for her to have a full-size - even though I do have the regular Switch mini-controllers and the device that connects them into a single controller, these are better!

Great controller, worth the price. My previous controller was a Power A wireless controller, but it eventually got the dreaded drift. I haven’t had this controller long enough to know if this will eventually do that, but I already enjoy it because it feels amazing, it looks amazing, and charging it is much easier and cost effective than changing the batteries all the time. It lasts very long on one full charge, and comes with a long cord, that you could play while charging if necessary. Overall, great controller and I think it is worth the price.

Great controller, feels good to hold, Good weight and grip, buttons are nice sized for adult hands. Would recommend over any 3rd party controller. Also, holds a long charge.

So far I'm hugely impressed with the Switch Pro Controller. $70 is an investment but I think it's honestly worth it. Controller is just the right weight without feeling cheap or uncomfortable to hold. Buttons are clicky and responsive. It has a D-Pad, unlike any other Switch controller options. Excellent battery life so far, compared to my PS4 controller. And they added the biggest feature missing from the Wii U Pro Controller: Gyro aim! Genuinely an awesome addition that makes games like Breath of the Wild handle so well. If you play single player games on the Switch this is worth a serious look.

One of my biggest complaints about using the joy-cons on the mount when the console is docked is that your hands are at an awkward angle. This controller takes care of that so easily! It's light, comfortable, and just really easy to use. The battery even lasts longer than the console itself when docked. My husband plays for 5 hours a night, and we charge it every few days, the savings on batteries alone makes it worth the cost! My only complaint is that you can't use it for all of the games!
