Great quality controller and pairs instantly and feels great in your hands

Super comfortable to hold and great quality. Better than the one the system comes with

Best controller if you are tired of the joycons. No need to have a wired controller unless your into that. Special edition are expensinve this is the best option.

great pro controller, great quality, great battery life

Controller is sized just right and feels more comfortable than the standard controls included with the system.

Fantastic controller. Great feel, great response. Keeps a great charge.

This controller is way more comfortable than the joy cons and the battery life is amazing

A must if you own a Nintendo switch. Great battery life and no drift problem.

Wireless, pairs easily to the Nintendo Switch, durable, feels comfortable in hand

Bought the controller because the switch oled cramps my hands after long sessions and hinders me in some games because of the small buttons. But this controller pretty much solves all my issues, idk why its called a pro controller and it’s pretty standard, usually pro controllers have extra features or at least extra buttons or paddles but its a good purchase although if it breaks I will probably replace it with a different controller that has more features and at a lower price

While I think this controller is overpriced, it feels great with a real weight to it. It's probably worth the investment in the long run as in TV mode the joycons really stand out as too small for long play sessions. I used this controller for my Zelda play-through and loved it

When using detached joycons in the grip, I had to stand in front of the TV near the console or pull up a chair and keep the joycons within line of sight, otherwise connection issues would cause input dropouts. With the Pro Controller, I can sit back on the couch across the room, as comfortably as I like and have no issues whatsoever. I thought I might have to get a longer cable (the included cable is only 1 meter -- about 3.3 feet -- unlike what is mentioned as a "best answer" on a question here that incorrectly states 10 feet), as I am generally wary of wireless gaming controllers, but honestly I have not felt any lag or connection issues. Yes, it is much more expensive than the aftermarket controllers. However, those don't have motion control, which is essential for some games like Splatoon 2 (without motion control you only have coarse stick aiming; with motion control you have both coarse stick aiming and fine motion aim adjustment), and they don't have rumble, which can be essential for elements of other games, like Super Mario Odyssey which uses the rumble to let you know you're close to a hidden object. So, consider the games you play and whether these two features are important for you. Before I got this controller, I played the Switch almost exclusively in handheld mode because of the poor wireless connection quality of the joycons. With this controller, I play on the TV as much as possible. I'm obligated to point out that I am an employee of Best Buy. However, this has no bearing on the content of this review.

Love the controller when it works! The biggest issue is one that Nintendo is fully aware of, and that's the poor quality design of the analogs. Joy-con drift is real, and while great that Nintendo is fixing those for free, the same issue is present on this controller, and the Gamecube one as well. The last Pro controller I had, Nintendo said they'd fix it for "free", but that shipping and a small fee would be required, which was, no surprise, the cost of a brand new controller...Can't make this stuff up. Nintendo prints money, maybe spread it around to the production designers. Buy the extended warranty to save money on a new replacement in the year that it lasts...

I really like this comtroller over the Joy-cons for the price. The buttons are larger and makes mashing buttons easier for adult hands. I wish there was a contrasting color to the buttons to the controller, but otherwise a very good shape and size.

Amazing controller...it feels great in your hands and battery lasts forever

My son stands no chance against me when I use this controller against him in smash. I was scared he would beat me, but then i got the pro controller and dunk on him continually.

Good weight and quality. A must have for Switch owners, far superior to the joy cons.

Love those controller. Feels a lot like an Xbox controller. Very comfortable and great battery life!

The remotes that latch to the switch we seem to be buying under a year over and over again. I love the idea but they don’t last. We purchased this remote ad a helper when playing on the tv and it significantly better for normal wear and tear. Wish the “classic” Nintendo one was available as I wound purchase that one too.

This is the best controller on the market. It is a bit pricey but worth it.
