    The best controller for the switch

    These games have everything you need to play multiple games on the switch. The HD rumble is not so great on these controller compare to the joy-cons, since it feels like it doesn't rumbles as much. Yet, using motion controls feels great. A great purchase.

    This controller is fantastic - if you have a switch you cannot skip this. Believe the hype. The only downside to this is that it is so much better than any other controller that it can give an unfair advantage to whoever gets to use it. I also wish the pro came in more colors.

    Joy-con drift has been an issue with the Switch since its debut back in 2017. I wish I had pulled the trigger on this years ago instead of struggling through Metroid Dread.

    Works beautifully, it’s smoother than the controllers that attach to the switch. Worth the cost.

    It's the Nintendo branded controller for the Switch. It's biggest attraction is the spacing between the face buttons versus the joy-cons. I got for my girlfriend and she loves it. It also connects directly to the system without having to press any sync buttons.

    This remove and Splatoon 2 is a great combo. It’s not the same playing it with joy cons. Ps: if you play Tetris 99 DO NOT USE THIS REMOTE!!! It’s too sensitive and it will have your blocks placed all over the place.

    One of the best controllers available for any gamer, only giving 4 stars because d pad seems a little off. When you hit up sometimes it reads it as left for example.

    If you're going to have long Zelda sessions, or any other Switch games, at home on the tv, this is a must buy. This controller is way better than the joy cons on the included grip. Feels great in your hands and buttons are bigger than regular unit. also a real D-Pad for Shovel Knight and other old school games.

    Best controller you can get for the switch hands down. Only removing one star because of the price. Feels hefty and well made. Buttons feel top notch quality.

    Love the controller. Although you don't have to have one, it certainly makes playing the switch on the TV better. The only reason I bumped down to 4 stars was for price.

    Great controller so far, replacing my joycon controllers that drifted. Easy to connect and works good, hopefully I won't have drift on this one

    I had my switch for 2 and a half years before getting a controller and let me say it opened up a whole new world of enjoyment, I think I've played it more in two weeks than I had in two years because my hands don't cramp up after a little while

    Battery life has been great. Still experience the strange Joy-Con drift, which leads me to believe this is a console issue.

    Nintendo has kept things simple here with the traditional Xbox-style asymmetric design for the analog stick positioning. Four face buttons and four shoulder buttons are in the traditional places, with no GameCube-style shenanigans spicing things up.

    After 6 months of its purchase the sticks started to drift. The controller feels great but it's not worth its price if you're going to have to replace it in less than a year

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
