    The Way to Play Switch

    I truly enjoy the Switch Pro controller. One of my favorite parts are the longer thumb sticks than what you would find on other console controllers. It might have caught on because the PS5's DualSense controller has added length to their thumb sticks as compared to the DualShock 4 from last gen. In my opinion, when you're playing on a TV screen, there's no other way to play Switch than with the Pro controller. The other buttons feel good too, especially the shoulder buttons. If you asked me a year ago whether I though it was expensive, I would have said yes. However, considering the price increases in gaming hardware across the board, I think this controller is just as good of a value as any other manufacturer's. Battery life, to me, is impressive. You can log a lot of hours in before having to recharge from my experience. And as opposed to the Joycon sets which have already lost maximum charge in less than a year old, I have a pro controller from a year after Switch launch that still operates the same as new.

    I absolutely love this controller for the Switch. It feels like an Xbox controller so it is not uncomfortable to switch from system to system and it is durable. My one year old has gotten hold of it many times and there's not even a scratch on it. The only downside is if you are playing certain games you need the small controllers. For Mario Kart, I would recommend this controller!

    The absolute best controller for the switch and one of the best controllers ever. You owe it to yourself to get one if you ever play in dock mode. Feels really good in the hands and feels like really good quality. Battery charge lasts a long time. More than any of my playstation or xbox controllers.

    A bit smaller than I'm used too, but it feels excellent in my hands. Very responsive and lasts a long time on a full charge. I use it whenever I play Breath of the Wild or Smash Bros. Ultimate. I'm still not used to the button layout, but I'm getting there. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a controller for their Switch system.

    We decided to have a weekly family game night and I picked up three of these and we couldn’t be happier. They paired easily and each time we go to use them they easily connect and we are ready to go. They fit fine in all size hands and keep charged. So glade we got these because they are definitely worth every penny for the fun we have with them.

    I’ll admit I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a controller for the switch but I have to say it was money well spent. If you’re considering buying this controller I encourage you to go for it. It has an amazing feel to it, has good weight and is overall a great controller for the price.

    I was a little skeptical of the high price but after buying I didn't regret a thing. Was using the joy con grip but switching to this took about a day. Feels super solid, nice weight and textured plastic. The joysticks and triggers are amazing in my opinion. Battery life is awesome. If I had to quantify I can use it to play 3-4 hours a night all week before charging or better.

    I didn't like the little controllers the swich came with. This thing is awesome. Its perfectly weighted, the controls are precise, and the buttons are excellent. It is a high quality controller, and shows that money does buy better quality.

    The sleekness of this controller makes it feel smaller than it really is. It's also lightweight so you can play with it comfortably for long periods of time. It's just a tad bit expensive; you can regularly get xBox or PS controllers for $50 if you opt for the "boring" standard colors. It's best to buy this one when it's on sale.

    I have decently large hands, and while I have dealt with the included joycon controller adapter, my hands cramp up pretty easily. That is not the case with this controller. The build quality is great, the battery life is great, the thumstick height/motion is way better than joycons, and I love how big and snappy the ABXY buttons are. My only complaint is the d-pad. I don’t use it much, but in side scrolling games it’s easy to bump up or down (for some reason I always hit the up button) when quickly going from side to side. Not a deal breaker for me, but might be for someone who primarily uses the d-pad. Also the price is a bit high, but I also had lower expectations of quality for the lower price I expected.

    These went on sale so I scooped one up. My wife and I liked it so much I order another one and picked it up the next day. Retail price it too high in my opinion. If you have been eyeballing one of these I’d recommend grabbing it. Even better if you get it on sale. The battery life on this controller is awesome too.

    I picked this controller up because I bought Xenoblade chronicles 2 and needed a 2nd controller for Mario Kart. I think it's a fantastic controller and feels way better in the hand than the joycon controller. Definitely a better option for a long gaming session. The price is fairly expensive, but I feel like this controller will last until the end of the switch's life.

    When I first got my switch, I opted for the less expensive, unofficial controller. Now that I've invested in the Pro Wireless, I see how much added value comes with this fantastic controller. It is comfortable to hold, has the right amount of weight to it and makes for an overall fantastic experience while gaming. Thank you, Nintendo!

    Too Expensive

    It’s a solid controller, feels well made, and it’s definitely an upgrade from the joy cons, BUT it’s too expensive in my opinion. $70 for this thing is just Nintendo being Nintendo. New Xbox and PS4/5 controllers cost less. If you can find it on sale or for $10 less, (WM) pick it up. PS. It DOES hold a charge incredibly well. I’ve had this thing for about 2 weeks now, have only charged it once, and it’s STILL at 50%.

    Great feeling controller

    I mainly purchased this controller for a proper d pad, and softer buttons when playing Mario Kart. I was surprised by how well the controller actually feels in my hands. It has a good weight, and is very ergonomic. So far it has had great battery life, and no lag when playing. My only complaint is that the dpad is't exactly stellar. I still prefer the PS4's dpad over the Switch Pro Controller. The dpad can feel a little "clicky" at times, where the PS4's has a very smooth feel that makes it better suited for fighting games. Lastly, the face buttons have a nice feel, but are a tad bit to large and separated, I've found myself pressing the wrong button at times when playing Ultra Street Fighter 2. All in all, this is a good controller.

    This is one high quality controller. The battery life is insane and it feels like a Xbox controller (in the best way). I had only used the joy cons before this controller and WOW, what a difference! All the features of the joy cons in a very sturdy, COMFORTABLE and long battery device...nice!

    The joy-con controllers for the Switch are the worst thing ever if you have hands bigger than a six year old. This controller is excellent, comfortable, charges with USB-C like most modern phones, and the battery lasts for hours. If you're an adult, or even a teenager, get this controller. It's a necessity to actually enjoy playing on this console.
