    Controller is great for gaming while docked. Similar to an Xbox One Controller, price is steep for the control, but since it is one of the few options that what you get.

    This works great. I’ve already put in several hours of game play with this controller. It has great ergonomics. My hands don’t cramp with this like they do with the regular controllers. It was also very easy to connect and charge.

    I have tried other remotes for the nintendo switch and none are as good as this one. The design is nice and wont wear away and the buttons feel very smooth.

    Overall the Pro Controller is great! The joy cons were too small for my hands so now I can finally enjoy my Switch in docked mode. $70 was a little pricy for it though.

    These controllers feel much better than the joy-cons. I haven't worn these out after 4 months of use. But I do hope it last longer than the joy-cons.

    I bought one when I picked up the Nintendo Switch on launch day. Definitely feels great in my hands! I like using this controller more than, say, the Joy-Cons the system comes with. Those are nice when you're not in front of a TV, but when you are at a TV or monitor, the Pro controller is definitely the way to go!

    This controller was out of stock for so long. Finally picked one up. It is such a high quality item. The joysticks are so smooth and the haptic is great!!

    Solid controller. Responsive and not as alien to most folks as the standard included controllers are. The analog sticks shine. The buttons feel right. Granted you can go without a pro controller, but Nintendo did a great job making this one feel just right.

    Only negative comment is I wish they had more kid friendly colors for the look of the controller. Other than that, this controller is worth it! Very responsive controller. Ended up buying another one too. (Thus, it would've been great to have the extra controller be a different color.)

    Great for when your joy-cons wont stop drifting... Plus it gets that premium gaming feel like with an xbox or ps4 controller.

    Excellent product but it’s just way too expensive. There’s no reason this couldn’t be $30 cheaper. It’s kind of ridiculous, considering Nintendo consistently gets destroyed by PlayStation and XBox. I use it to play roms on my computer and it’s good for that. I don’t think it’s much better than the joy cons if you are playing the Switch, so for most people it’s probably not worth buying.

    If you are going to play a switch at home in the living room I would totally recommend getting at least one pro controller.

    I really like how this feels when I use it. Playing Zelda it was very responsive unlike the problems I had with the joy cons. If it was a little cheaper I'd give it 5 stars

    The joycons are all well and good but sometimes you just feel like using a traditional controller. This fits the bill, comes with it's own charging cable and you can play it while connected if your batteries are super low. Plays very well.

    This is a fantastic feeling controller, with the exception of the d-pad. Everything feels tight and responsive, but the d-pad is mushy and will often misread inputs.

    The best way to play switch. I've never been a fan of the Joy Cons, they feel like a dumb gimmick but this is one of the best designed controllers for any system. I now have 4 of these controllers and won't play switch with anything else.
