Virtually non-existent lag, it's the only way I'll play the Switch anymore. Still frustrating that Nintendo uses opposite button placement compared to their competitors...

This is one of the best controllers you can get for the switch. Battery life is phenomenal, you can wake up the console with the home button. What I don't like about it is the d-pad is trash. Horribly inconsistent with inputs. If you can overlook the mediocre d-pad though, it's otherwise a great controller.

A must have if you are playing at home. Easy to use, durable for kids. Love that it’s cordless! Great buy

Comfortable in hand. Connects relatively easy. Battery lasts a long time.

Literally everything about this controller is great especially the battery life. The one complaint is that the Dpad isn't up to par as they used to be. Trying to play Tetris, the up, on the dpad will sometimes trigger when I'm just trying to move the piece to the right. This is a GREAT game pad for anything that isn't dpad sensitive though

I've owned every standard controller that Nintendo has ever made, with my previous favorite being the Wii U Pro controller. Despite how bulky it looks, the Switch Pro controller is the most comfortable controller Nintendo has ever made. The buttons are larger than the buttons on the Joy Cons, and the + and - buttons are standard round buttons, not the shaped ones as on the Joy Cons. The Pro controller has more standard, slightly larger analog sticks, and the shoulder buttons are fairly large with a very tactile click when pressed. It even has NFC and motion controls, as the Joy Cons do. The only downside to the Pro controller? The D-pad isn't very good. It's fairly mushy, and it's difficult to switch between directions on it without also accidentally pressing the wrong direction in-between. While playing NES Zelda with it, Link would often undershoot or overshoot doorways in dungeons because of the D-pad sending the wrong direction while trying to get into the doorway. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a primary controller for NES gaming. However, for most Switch software, it's highly recommended.

If you plan on playing your Switch in tv mode, the pro controller is a must. Solid feel and outstanding battery life. Wish my PS4 controllers lasted this long!

Great quality works well and connects easily fun to have

It has a decent grip, can last for a couple days without charging, and feels easier than the joycons. I always prefer this over the joy-cons.

I had heard time and time again that this controller is the best way to play. I had my Switch for a little under two years and felt that the Joy-Cons were more than enough until I finally decided to buy this and my only regret was not buying it sooner. The comfort of this control over the Joy-Cons is worlds apart. I've used third-party controllers but the gyro and HD Rumble on the Pro Controller are simply much better. The build quality to me seems very good to me. I just wish they made more color options available.

Probably the best controller yet for the Nintendo Switch! Very comfortable! It has grip and buttons are big!

If you are looking for the best controller for the switch look no further. The controller may be expensive, but the charge is great and it feels outstanding.

Tried the PowerA controller but nothing beats this one. The haptic feedback, the battery life, the way it feels in your hand. Would buy this controller again and again. I never even use my joycons anymore.

I bought this because I have giant hands and the joy cons are too small. This has a great weight to it, its big and feels good in your hands

the pro wireless controller gives you a better feel than the joy cons, good battery life and works with amiibos. would buy again!

This controller is great for playing games on the Switch. Good feel, sturdy, easy to sync, and holds its charge for quite a long time.

Joycons are notorious for analog drift, and just because you haven’t experienced it yet, don’t think you won’t. This is a solidly built controller. I’ve been gaming since the NES days, and I’ve always purchased upgraded first-party controllers, from the NES Advantage to the XBox Elite controller, and while this isn’t on the level of the Elite, it’s among the best available for the Switch. It’s just a bit pricey, but don’t underestimate the reliability of this first-party option.

This is an awesome controller. Fits all hand sizes. My son loves that it doesn’t have to have a wire connected to it and is easy to charge.

Awesome controller for the switch for people with larger hands. Resembles other console controllers in size and is very comfortable

Works great. Is comfortable and feels amazing. Recommend it if you’re playing fortnite or any shooting games fighting games
