    Great controller and amazing battery life. Feels ergonomic and has a good weight to it. Only issue is the rumble feels really weak compared to the Joy-cons.

    Love the controller. Nice to see more things coming to Switch. A must have for any fan. The usb-c is also a nice addition. The buttons are backwards if you’re used to playing on Xbox so keep that in mind.

    I bought it because I needed a controller when I shipped my Joycon off for repair. Now I can't use my switch without it. I wish someone would come up with a travel case for it so I can throw it in my bookbag. As far as the price, I think it has to cost so much is because of the nfc function built in.

    My New Favorite Controller

    Given that I have owned all of the current generation of consoles, and have used the hardware for each, I can say this is my favorite controller of them all. It combines the best features of the Xbox One and PS4 controllers, and allow the Switch to be played like a serious gaming console.

    I was skeptical of the price but, after getting a cheaper one and this, I can confidently say that the Pro Controller is worth every penny!

    This is a fantastic addition to the Switch. Controls are very comfortable, size is very nice. This should have come standard with the console. Battery life is excellent.

    The controller is excellent, just pricey. Non Nintendo devices will cost you less.

    This controller works great. It has a very good feel to it and is a serious upgrade from trying to use a joycon configuration.

    Purchased a 3rd party brand Nintendo Switch controller but the buttons response was a slow. Sent it back and bought this official Nintendo Switch Pro controller. It is more expensive but you will not have any response issues.

    solid controller for the switch

    low input lag for a wireless controller and is definitely a great choice for smash bros ultimate. the fact that its slightly cheaper than the joy-cons makes it a better choice for fighting games. it also has longer joy-sticks and a well placed and more solid directional pad.

    Much better controller than joy-con alternative.

    This controller is rechargeable and you don't have to keep spending money on batteries. I upgraded to this controller because on the long run it will be cheaper and create less waste than my other cheaper AA battery powered nintendo controller.

    Best way to play on the switch (also works on PC!)

    While I came in with the expectation to only use this for the Nintendo switch as I was to alliviate as much stress as I can from my joycons, I didn't know this could also work on PC! Since then, I have been able to play some Steam games I haven't touched in years.

    Works very well, and a great improvement over the standard joy-cons for most games. You still need to use Switch joy-cons for games like Just Dance, but for most other games this controller works perfectly, docked or not!

    This is the way to play AAA games on the Switch. Analog sticks on this controller have more mobility to them than the conventional Joy-cons provide. Ergonomic design, while borrowed from Microsoft’s XBox, is top notch.

    I saw my son using the controller to play his Switch. I was happy to see him use it after months of gaving giving it to him. There is probably no better endorsement of a product that when a child continues to use it regularly.

    I definitely like the cordless controller for the Switch more than the ones with the cord. But, I still prefer the feel of the joystick remotes.

    The controller works as it should, has a decent battery life, but feels like it should be cheaper. You need to connect with a USB-C cable (provided) to sync.

    Performs flawlessly. 10 yo wanted this to play his new switch but he's an Xbox kind of guy. This makes it alot easier for him to transition back and forth from Xbox to Nintendo ( compared to the original switch controller)

    I bought this controller at the same time that I purchased my switch since I knew the joy cons were going to be too small for me detached from the system in TV mode. I was very much right. It is a must have if you are used to using xbone controllers and plan on using TV mode a lot.

    Really a must have Switch accessory. I have larger hands, so the increased spacing between the thumbsticks and buttons and increased button size makes it much easier to use. Sooo much more comfortable than any other controller configuration you can use with the standard Switch controllers.
