    Pro Controller vs Joy Con

    Love the pro controller! This is a must for switch gaming. The joy cons are too small for larger hands. I would recommend adults to use this controller over the joy cons.

    This is an excellent controller, whether it's worth the price or not is up to the individual. It feels balanced and the best way to describe it, is that it feels like it fits. Feels better than previous Nintendo controllers.

    It is so much easier to use & hold while playing the games. I like it. I suggest letting it charge for an hour or longer before using it though as when I got it it wasn’t fully charged.

    Can't Switch without It

    This controller is a NECESSITY to the Switch. I can't even imagine playing the Switch on my TV without it. The joy-cons are great in handheld mode, but don't feel as solid as this when using it in the dock. Highly recommend!!

    Was kinda bent about how expensive it was, but it is totally worth it. More traditional controller that feels really good in the hands. I recommend also purchasing the charging station that also chargers the joy cons.

    Works great! And you will be able to turn on the system with just the remote. It does good right turns with it, my last one, a knockoff, quit doing right turns.

    Best Switch Controller

    This is the best controller for the Switch. I know there are those who like the Joy Cons, but this controller feels great in your hands and has a great charge time. If you can get a great deal, get it.

    Best option for standard gaming

    Works flawlessly. It's not much to look at and not terribly comfortable. However, it's still the best option on the market for a wireless pad on this system. A lot of alternatives might look better or feel better, but they will lack features like HD rumble or be wired. It's worth it to have at least one of these if you play traditional games in long stretches.

    What can I say it is a decent controller about what you would expect from Nintendo. It is a little pricey.

    I was hesitant about these controllers because I thought they were all made by PowerA. But once I knew Nintendo made their own I was sold. Bonus was it was mildly on sale.

    This controller is the best. We purchased a Power A model as well and they are comparable. However the addition of the rumble puts this one ahead. Worth the extra money

    This controller has the best buttons I've felt in a long while. The only down sides are lack of analog triggers and a starting price $10 higher than its competition. But you will WANT this if you're gonna play Switch at home.

    Works so much better than the joy-cons for a person who has bad wrists! Good control and has the rumble factor that some other controllers do not.

    I've only played The Legend of Zelda BOTW with this so far, and it's excellent! Buttons are right where your hands know they are from previous Nintendo controllers. Rumble is awesome, and motion control is supported
