Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was disappointed to see the price of the Pro Controller at launch. If you are on a tight budget or you play mostly in portable mode, you can skip it, as every game is playable without it (and a few games like Odyssey are arguably better without it). However, I would still recommend it to most Switch owners. It's the best and most comfortable way to play at home. It is wireless, has excellent battery life, and it can make good use of HD Rumble and motion controls when necessary.

This is the best controller for the Switch. It feels so comfortable and can be easily played in smash bros.

I thought, for the longest time, the basic joycon controller cradle would be enough. But after wanting a more traditional controller experience I decided to see about this and holy hell what a difference. It's so much easier to use, less strain on my hands, and it's simple and elegant. It's a tad pricey, but getting on sale was a lot easier to handle. Definitely recommend.

Exactly what you think it would be. Feels better in the hands than the joycons. Battery life is good

It's a bit pricey for a controller. But the quality is actually top notch

I prefer using this and my TV over the gamepad. Long battery life, excellent weight, and responsive, accurate buttons.

Great controller. Lasts a long time. Well built. And is amiibo compatible.

This is the best controller you can get for your Switch; it’s also the only controller officially made by Nintendo for their own system (aside from Joy-Cons). Bluetooth 3.0 for a seamless connection, a 40-hour battery life, built-in amiibo functionality, and rumble/haptic feedback. If you truly want the best of the best for your Nintendo Switch, go ahead and grab this controller today.

This is the most comfortable controller I've ever used. The letters on the buttons are part of the material used to make the whole button, versus ink, so they haven't worn down at all and are still easily read. We also get at least 16 hours of out the charge, and recharging is easy using the USB cord. I often play with the charing cord attached as well, and it doesn't impair anything.

Nice size, grip is just perfect and in general it's confortable, much better than playing with the joy cons

The pro controller is pricey but a great controller. It is quite comfortable in hand. The battery life is actually consistent with their claims of 40 hours (I was so happy I played Zelda for hours for days and didn't have to charge it like the dual shock 4). The face buttons are good. The shoulder buttons and triggers fit well in hand. The sticks are fine by me. The plus/minus/home/select buttons are a bit close together but not annoyingly so. Oddly enough for Nintendo the directional pad is good but not as good as their past controllers. I have had instances where I pressing it on angle for up or down resulted in a right press. It hasn't happened enough to be a negative for me but it has happened. The rumble feels fine. One big plus for me is that Nintendo decided to use USB-C for their Switch and so happy they did. Connecting this to the dock to charge is way better than my dual shock 4. You don't need to worry about connecting the wrong way anymore. Overall a great controller.

This control meets all my expectations! Rechargeable and great if you’re the controller type of player

The size and quality of it is amazing. Highly recommended when playing more traditional games for a longer period of time.

This is the way all games should be played. Battery lasts forever and it can survive a drop or two.

The most comfortable controller Nintendo has made to date. Plus the battwry life is excellent.

This is a great accessory for the Nintendo Switch and probably my most preferred controller to use when using the system in console mode. While a little pricey compared to other system controller, it works well and feels comfortable to hold. If you have a Nintendo Switch and are considering on getting one, I would definitely recommend or at least trying it out to see if you think it is a good fit. It also comes with a USB type C cable for charging while playing if the battery runs low.

This is one of the nicest controllers I have felt. The controller feels sturdy and comfortable. Would highly recommend

Amazing feel, great response, awesome color. My two issues though, no headphone jack, which complicates things go online play in TV mode with the switch, and the left joy stick went out on me in less than a year. The warranty is only good for 3 months by the way.

great pro controller, great quality, great battery life

It’s been a few months and my husband is still going strong with this one
