    Required for the Switch!

    Great controller, great reach. It's a requirement if your Switch is any decent distance from where you sit since the Joycons don't have good range. Joycons will lose inputs from 10ft.

    Although I would reverse the left thumbstick and d-pad, personally, it is a very comfortable controller and a near necessity for games such as Ultra Street Fighter II

    The Wii U version of the pro controller feels a bit nicer to me. This is still a solid device despite its price point. If you have a Switch I recommend purchasing one.

    After trying the joycons I can say without a doubt that the pro controller is a needed accessory for the switch. Wider movement, more comfortable controls and size.

    Same thing happened with my switch controllers, the joysticks end up getting sticky and tends to drift in a certain direction when playing games.. wish this wouldn’t happen! Otherwise, I recommend!

    We bought the switch and my husband is the main person that plays it. He was using the controllers that came with it for awhile but decided that he wanted to try this controller. He says it makes it so much easier to play the games and he can also control the tv with it. Definitely worth it to him

    Very expensive alternative to the joy cons but if u factor in the money I have to pay for the charging equipment and the joy cons themselves, it's a nice investment.

    The controller performs just as expected, and has quite a good battery life. My only gripe is the price of video game controllers across ALL gaming platforms.

    Having experienced the drifting issues on the joy sticks, these seem to be better. It still does bother me that Nintendo was not able to design the joysticks properly. Having to buy another controller entirely to play games normally is ridiculous.

    Well it is a very good controller I do wish they would make a version that does not support Amibos and potentially lower the price. Just nice to have options

    The grip and feel of this controller is perfect for my hands. It has a nice D-pad and very smooth joysticks. Very simple to pair and unpair with your switch. 10/10 would recommend for those games where the Joy-Cons dont' cut it or if they are too small for your hands.

    Great controller overall with solid battery life. I couldn’t get use to the shoulder buttons for smash though. Sticking with a GameCube controller.

    What a great upgrade over using the built in controller buttons on the Switch. Works smoothly and comfortable to hold. Highly recommended add on.

    My grandson has a handicap which allows him very little strength or mobility in his hands. He is able to manipulate this controller. We bought this one especially for him because the other children in the family use the control that came with their new game and it much more difficult for him.

    It's nice to have this remote for games which cannot conveniently be played with joycons however the price is a little more than what it should be.

    This controller is perfect for a docked switch, if you have macbook charger (usb-c), you could just use that and save the charger it comes with. This controller makes it easy to navigate and just as fun to game.

    Look at me look at me... PRO. I bought a switch and every bell and whistle but this. As I was bragging over the phone to a bud, over the phone on my way out, he told me if I didn’t have this I was screwing up. Turned right around for it, and can’t imagine my gaming experience without it.
