    This is the 3rd one I've purchased, and all have performed perfectly. I got them so that my daughter, wife, and I can all race each other in Mario Kart 8.

    The controller you put the joycons in that come with the switch is decent but if you primarily play the Switch docked then this controller is the way to go no doubt.

    If you have little hands those small switch controllers will not do. Get one of these and keep up with the fastest Mario cart racer in the house

    I love, love, love having a controller over using the joy cons! Playing games like Zelda are easier to play versus using the joy cons. Recommend for anyone who prefers using a "real controller"

    Good wireless controller for switch. Not a fan of Nintendo swapping A and B vs Xbox.

    I purchased this on the initial release day. Best was to play Zelda when not using in it handheld mode. Gives the switch a console feel like the XBox or PS4. No regrets whatsoever. Worth the money!

    The Pro controller works great and is perfect for those that like a conventional controller. You can even re-map the buttons to your preference.

    Very nice controller. Easy to hold and to use. Makes it nicer when the switch is docked and I'm not playing a game that requires joy cons.

    Tried a lot of 3rd party controllers and I always go back with this official one. HD rumble and Amiibo support are the selling point of this one.

    It works well and controls are responsive. I would recommend getting a Switch Charger with this for easy, reliable, charging.

    I would recommend this controller than the two smaller ones. It’s more sturdy. I have purchase a pair of the other controllers and they already got damage on the joy stick.

    the controller feels great to hold. the defective part was that the joysticks were not centered regardless if how they were calibrated. this was a brand new controller that had this issue. returned this controller and ordered another in hopes to receive a non-defective controller.
