    Extremely Comfortable Controller

    Great controller overall, it definitely doesn’t stand up with the new PS5 Haptic controller but it’s incredibly comfortable and the sticks aren’t floaty. If you are looking for a controller for your switch, it’s worth the extra money over the cheaper options, substantially more durable and responsive.

    Worth the premium price

    Connected quickly (plug it into the dock, and then disconnect after it registers). Great battery life (got about 5 hours of gaming out of it before it started complaining). Better than 3rd party and wired controllers - so worth the premium price.

    This controller repsonds better than some other controllers I have tried. Fits comfortably in my hand doesn't matter what type of game I play. Battery life is great too.

    Tbh for the price, this controller is great. It's very comfortable, feels and looks like it's good quality and the battery lasts a good amount of time. I really can't believe it took me so long to finally get one.

    I loved my first one so much I decided I needed a second. The controller holds a great charge and fits very comfortably in the hand. It's pretty much the only controller I use.

    Really the best controller option for the Switch. Excellent battery life, comfortable to use, and considerably better than the joycons and stick gamepad.

    It may be an expensive controller, but that doesn't change the fact that it is the BEST controller for most games. Excellent form and grip. Good heft. Plus it's packed with all the gizmos you'd expect from Nintendo (motion control and amiibo). If you're going for a solid controller, just go for it.

    The grip and weight feel fantastic. The buttons have a nice click to them The sticks have the perfect grip without feeling like they're gonna peel off at any time. The button placement is exactly what you'd want if you're used to a 360/XBONE controller but the heft feels much more well put together. Very much recommended.

    This is an expensive controller, but one which totally delivers on the quality. While it doesn't look particularly interesting, it's easily the best feeling controller out there at the moment. It has a great 40 hour battery life, NFC compatibility, motion sensing capabilities, as well as Nintendo's new "HD rumble" feature, which is surprisingly nice. I will definitely be looking to buy another once I have a good multiplayer game.

    A Must Have for Your Switch

    The Pro Controller is a must have accessory for your Nintendo Switch. This controller is so comfortable and for me, increases my game play length. The controller feels really well made and has an ergonomic grip and feel. It charges using a USB-C to USB cable (included) that plugs into the back of your Switch dock. Nintendo says the battery last 40-hours of game play and I would say from my current usage, I think this is true.

    Easily one of the best controllers out there. It feels fantastic and miles better than the joy con grip. The buttons are on the larger side, which isnt bad but feels a little strange at first. Some have reported the Dpad doing misinputs, but I was fortunate to not have that problem. That being said, Nintendo has helped me with several other switch related problems and I am sure youd be safe to pick on up thanks to their warranty

    If you're worried about joycon drift, this is a very comfortable controller for playing at home. Personally don't like it very much for table top play, but alas. I don't like table top play in the first place. I will say, the face buttons (ABXY) feel a little more loose than the joycon equivalent and the D pad feels kind of weird. Other than that, it's a great durable controller.

    My 14yr old ask for a wireless controller so I got him this one and he says it works just great. It's been almost 2 years since we got it and it still works really good.

    You need to get this IF you are planning on playing Breath of the Wild. So much better. I’m sure it plays really well with other games but it helps so much playing Breath of the Wild, especially if you have bigger hands. Only thing I hate is that it costs too much. $70 for a controller is a bit excessive. I wanted to take a star away from the rating but the product works perfect and the battery life is really long as well.

    Bought for wife because the standard controllers are crappy. The drift is real and annoying, but this controller solves that issue and makes it much better to play games like any other console. Controller seems to hold a good charge (wife only charges once a week, but also mainly plays animal crossing).

    I love the feel of this controller! I hate the price of it. The battery lasts forever, but I had to buy a second 1 bc it takes forever to charge. Also make sure u buy the warranty bc it died about 50 days after purchase.

    I should of saved my money and bought this one from the very start instead of buying 3rd party ones! This controller is the best controller I have ever used!! The triggers are maxed out at half pull which is amazing because your fingers don’t get tired like it would a traditional Xbox controller which you have to pull the triggers all the way down for max use. The quality is very good. The only thing I didn’t like was the d-pad it felt like weird sand/chalk feeling to it. After using it for a while the feeling went away but it was a strong chalk like touch to it for a while. But other then that it works fine. I have not tried using the NFC reader on it yet. But I’m sure it will work. Other then that. Stop wasting your money and just buy this!!!
