Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the controller that should come with the switch. It works 100% better than the joy cons and I find it has a pretty good battery life. My kids have played on the switch for two or three days straight before needing to charge it. I also bought one for myself, so when I play I got a my own controller that I use. Yea it’s expensive, but it’s totally worth it once you are use to the controller.

In terms of comfort, button placement, design, the way the sticks feel, and how satisfying it is to push any button with a nice "click" feeling, this is easily the second best controller ever made behind the Xbox One controller. It is SO comfortable and the battery lasts a REALLY long time and charges super fast thanks to USB C. Definitely beats every aspect of the very cheap feeling ps4 controller with terrible battery life. Although is it necessary if you just have the grip and joy cons? Not necessarily but it is definitely the best way to play your games.

This controller is much more comfortable than the one that comes with the console. I played for months with the joy-cons attached to the grip handle. But with games like Zelda I needed more than an hour to move fordward in the story, and the joy-cons started to feel very uncomfortable, So I upgraded to the Pro and it was a huge difference. Loved it. It took me a few days to get used to the new buttons setup, but it was worth it. No more cramped hands xD. I also think that the battery of this controller last longer than the joy-cons.

Bought this controller to use with the Samsung Gaming Hub on our Q90F 4K TV. This allows us to play games through the XBOX Game pass (if you have that), LUNA which if you have the Amazon Firestick will have some free options to play those and NIVIDA gaming if you have that subscription. This is really a good option if you don't have a gaming console and want to game on a newer TV that offers streaming gaming where all you need is a Bluetooth controller and a subscription to one of the gaming services offered through your specific tv. I also purchased this controller since my daughter has a Switch and we are also able to use this contoller when we play co-op games via her switch when hooked out to the Q90F 4K TV.

Writing this 2 years later and this quality is great. this controller is holding so well! and I play on the switch for multiple hours. great grip , light weight, haven’t had any problems. and the price is perfect

Yes is better than the joycon, the stick will no drift, is more conforble and battery life is excellent!

Seems like a solid controller and I like the fact that the battery is built in. My only complaint is that it looks cheap and it is on the pricey side. Having said that, it doesn't feel cheap at all in that the buttons all seem solid and the controller itself has heft to it. It has also survived a fall with no scratches :)

Overall, I like this controller a lot. The battery life is insane. I've gotten through several weeks of playing numerous hours every day on a single charge (I'm writing this as the Coronavirus lockdown is going on). It feels good to hold and it doesn't have the Bluetooth connectivity issues I've encountered with the Joy-Cons. However, the d-pad is garbage. This is a common complaint I've read many people make online, and it is totally true. This is most obvious if you try to play Tetris 99 with it (a good game you should definitely play), where it will falsely register d-pad presses and ruin your game CONSTANTLY. It's a shame they couldn't get that one very important thing right, because otherwise this would be a nearly flawless controller.

I bought this controller since I had a gift card and reward certificates, and even then my wife thought I was wasting my money. Flash forward to today and my wife is the one telling me when need to buy another one! I never minded the joycons in their controller dock but there is a noticeable difference going from joycons to the pro controller.... The buttons are so much bigger and it's so comfortable! Battery life is amazing as well, I'd highly recommend!

I do not care for Xbox too much, but the 360 arguably has the best ergonomic controller, at least for my hands. This controller is pretty close to that level of comfort for me, and it has some heft to it so it does not feel like it is flimsy, but not overly heavy. The only thing it is missing is a headphones port, but the Switch can use wireless headphones now so that is less of an issue. My recommendation is to buy at least one as the joy-con are fine, but this is how you will want to game when you can.

The controller works great. My kids like this style controller way more than the Joy-cons.

Bought to use the switch more like an Xbox and this controller is a game changer. It literally smaller than an Xbox controller and holds a great charge for a long time. Would recommend to anyone.

The connection is simple and quick, holds a great charge, and the lights on the bottom to indicate which player is very helpful. A must buy, even if it is a bit expensive.

This is a really great controller and it's a huge improvement over the Joy-Con Grip that comes with the Switch. The buttons are a decent size, there's a D-pad, and it's in a form that's way more comfortable than the Grip. It feels like a mix between an Xbox One and Xbox 360 controller and I like it. It also keeps the motion controls and NFC chip for games that require it. I like that Nintendo continues to use USB-C even with their accessories as well. It's expensive to be sure, but it's not a purchase I regret.

I am glad Nintendo released this pro controller. The joy cons are alright but there’s nothing like an actual controller in your hands when you want to play a game. It’s smaller than the PlayStation controller and fits well in my hands. Very comfortable to play for long periods of time, the battery lasts a good amount of time too. I have to charge it once every week and a half to two weeks and I play for 5+ hours per day.

My son loves his Switch but got tired of using the smaller joy-cons that come with the unit. This pro wireless controller is a high-quality add-on to the system, and in my opinion, it's essential for those who will use the Switch as their primary gaming console. He won't travel with it -- the joy-cons are fine for that -- but for normal home use, the pro controller is the way to go.

This is a must-buy if you're playing anything on the Switch for longer than a half hour. The charge holds for quite awhile; I'm still on my first charge after 10+ hours of using it. The controls are super responsive and it feels quite comfortable in my hands. Not as comfy as an XBOX controller but it's way better than the tiny Joycons. Games played with it: Zelda BOTW, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem and Zelda: Hyrule.

I think the price is a little too high but this really is a great solid controller. MUCH better feel than the joycons that come with it.

This is a great controller! I hate a lightweight controller that feels cheaply made. This thing feels very sturdy and the button layout feels very natural. The battery time is also very impressive. I play around 2 hours a day and I only have to charge the battery once a week...if that. It is a little more expensive than the other switch controllers that are available but the extra money is worth it. I highly recommend this controller
