Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

The switch pro controller may be the most comfortable I've ever held in my hands, but one flaw makes it impossible to grant it a perfect rating. If you've heard about the dpad issue, I'm sad to say it's part of the controller's design and not simply a defect among some affected controllers. If you use this you WILL eventually hit a directional button and have the wrong input registered. The good news is that it's not as terrible as it seems and for games that don't rely heavily on the d-pad it isn't much of an issue. Use caution and tap along the putter edge of the button and you will rarely experience any problems.

The Controller feels comfortable to use. It’s durability is decent. Sensory is stabilized. Time to recharge the controller is fast. I want an optimal controller for Nintendo Switch and this is exactly what I wish for.

Works perfect. Easy to charge and much more comfortable than my Joycons. I have 2 and the battery life has held up pretty long playing Breath of The Wild constantly. It's like I can charge it from a docking station, or from the switch dock.

The pro controller is the best option because it already has a rechargeable battery inside. So why buy a cheap 3rd party controller just to find out that you would need to buy the battery separately. This controller is all set to go and is the best wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch.

If you have a Switch this is the best controller you can get. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny. Usually the best way to play any Switch game unless it's Smash Bros (GameCube controller).

This really beats the joycons when you have the console docked. The battery lasts a long time. It's comfortable and everything works as it should, but it's way too expensive.

Although there may be cheaper alternatives for a conventional controller on the Switch (Google: Mayflash Switch), I for one like having a different tactile experience on different consoles. Great controller all around, best feature: battery life, worst feature: pricey.

I know for the price it's kind of steep for a controller, but it's by far the best for the System. Ive tried other less expensive ones, and they work but lack the quality, ease and features of this one. It feels heavier and sturdier, supports amiibos, and connects right away with no issue.

i wish i had bought one of these sooner! this controller is great, battery is awesome. very comfortable to use!

I've played Nintendo switch with several pairs of Nintendo brand joycons as well as off-brand. I've also played with several off-brand pro controllers and one other Nintendo brand pro controller. All of them eventually got joy-con drift. So far this one has been perfect. The battery life is great, and I have not experienced any drift. It also feels really well made. With this controller you can still scan amiibos and motion controls work great. I will update this review if it begins to have joycon drift in the future.

This is such a vast improvement over the standard joy cons. Has the right heft, responsive controls, and a quality build. I have no complaints about the battery life and no longer need to worry about the recurring drift in the previous remotes.

This is the ultimate Nintendo Switch controller. Perfect for people that have normal sized hands and don’t like the tiny stock controllers. It’s pretty similar to the Xbox Series X controller in feel, just wish it was a little heavier.

Hands down, this is the most comfortable and useful (and expensive) controller of all first party Nintendo controllers. It's as if the Wii U Pro Controller had a makeover with higher quality materials, bigger buttons, and can be used on PC via a separate bluetooth receiver. If only it was less expensive by $10-20..

The only controller you should have for your switch

Solid buttons and sticks, very easy to get acclimated to. Controller also has a very nice weight to it. Only down side is I wish it had a port for headsets. Controller last 12+ hours on single charge, prob more. All around it just feels more like a real controller than the Joy Cons do while in the grip. A must buy.

I purchased this controller because I was having so many connectivity issues with my joy cons that came with the game. It didn’t take long at all for me to get used to the feel! It feels great, the battery lasts a long time, and you don’t have connectivity issues! I love it!

Great quality as I’d expect from a first party controller. I honestly wish it were a few dollars cheaper to make it feel like a better deal, but after using it for a bit I’m not mad. I’ll probably get a. Second one..

I had two sets of joy-cons, for the sake of having a spare set, (before the dreaded joy-con drift became a reality.) I had a fully enclosed case for my Switch and didn't want to constantly remove it to use the attached joy-cons. My hands aren't the largest in the world, but after awhile, I found the joy-cons to be a cramping way to play. I finally broke down, and into my wallet, and purchased the Pro Controller. Greatest move ever!!! The fit is much more comfortable than playing with the joy-cons, and gives one all of the features of the joy-cons (motion control, Amiibo NFC connection.) It's much better than holding onto the small joy-cons, even with the adapters that allow you to use them as a larger controller. And of course, as of date, there is no problem with joy-con drift!

Best controller for the switch. Battery life is great and charge cable is long enough to play with plugged in. Comfortable over long periods of gaming and thumb sticks are smooth and grippy. 2nd one of these I’ve purchased and well worth it.
