Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, this is one of the best controllers I've had. The battery life is huge, it feels good to hold, and the texture is wonderful. However, I've got two gripes with it: 1. The triggers aren't analog. It's 2017. The gamecube had these, for crying out loud. Where'd they go? 2. The dpad has issues. It's easy for the controller to mistake a left or right input for an up one. This is an issue that should have been fixed in QA. To be honest, the joycon grip is fine for what it is. Unless you feel the grip is cramped, which I can see it happening for some people, you don't really need it. If you're on the edge of buying this and don't have a switch yet, get the switch and see how the grip feels. If it's sub-par, the pro controller is a good buy.

This controller is sized well for adult hands. It’s comfortable to hold and use, and the buttons and sticks feel good to use—very responsive. Solid construction. Happy with the purchase overall, however I wish the price were a bit more competitive.

It's a great bit of kit, so much better than any of the other 3rd party controllers I have used. Battery life is good, it's held up to a beating so far. Great ergonomics for medium sized man-hands. As with most official Nintendo hardware, it's overpriced by about 20%

Tough controller, unlike its Joycon brethren, you can tell this is built well and to take a beating. So far, no issues with drift. The battery life is amazing. I am very happy with this.

This is probably the best controller for the Nintendo Switch. The battery life is quite extensive, the controls are seamless, and it is comfortable to hold. Connectivity is fast and simple.

From the feel and comfort of this controller to the amazing battery life, this controller simply the best gaming controller I've ever had! It has a nice weight to it and feels every bit go the high price you have to pay to obtain it. Yes that price is pretty steep but it gives you so much play time on a single charge! 45-55 hours! Really glad I picked this one up!

This controller is the most comfortable gaming controller I've ever held. Far more comfortable than the things that come in the switch box. Battery lasts a respectable long time. The price is a bit much. But it is worth it if you play a long time in one session. Especially for a game like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Probably one of the best controllers of the last decade at least, incredibly comfortable and well-made. Worth the money.

When I started experiencing the dreaded drift I bought a third party controller. We eventually upgraded to the Pro Controller and it's so much more comfortable to use then the drifting Joy Cons (my wrists especially feel better) and a smoother experience then the third party controllers.

So much better than the joycons. No glitching and the battery lasts 20+ hours. I have 3 older ones as well, and they are durable.

I recently purchased the Pro Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch from BestBuy, and I must say it has been a fantastic addition to my gaming experience. This controller offers a level of comfort and functionality that surpasses the Joy-Con controllers that come with the Switch. First and foremost, the build quality of the Pro Wireless Controller is excellent. It feels sturdy and well-made, which gives me confidence that it will last for a long time. The ergonomics of the controller are also worth mentioning. The grip is comfortable, and the button placement feels natural. It fits perfectly in my hands, even during extended gaming sessions, and doesn't cause any discomfort or hand fatigue. One of the standout features of this controller is the wireless connectivity. The Bluetooth connection is strong and reliable, allowing me to play games without any lag or input delay. Pairing the controller with my Nintendo Switch was a breeze, and I appreciate the hassle-free setup process. The Pro Wireless Controller also boasts an impressive battery life. I can play for hours on end without needing to recharge it. This is especially beneficial for long gaming sessions or when I'm on the go and don't have access to a power source. The USB-C charging port is conveniently located at the top of the controller, making it easy to plug in and charge when needed. In terms of performance, the Pro Wireless Controller delivers excellent responsiveness and precision. The buttons are responsive, and the analog sticks provide smooth and accurate movement. The controller also features motion controls, which work flawlessly and add an extra level of immersion to certain games. Furthermore, the Pro Wireless Controller offers additional features that enhance the gaming experience. It includes a built-in gyroscope, HD rumble, and amiibo functionality. These features add depth and immersion to compatible games, allowing me to feel more connected to the gameplay. The only minor drawback I found with this controller is the lack of NFC support for scanning Amiibo. It would have been nice to have that functionality built into the controller, as it eliminates the need to switch to the Joy-Con controllers when using Amiibo. However, this is a minor inconvenience and doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Pro Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch from BestBuy. It offers exceptional build quality, comfortable ergonomics, reliable wireless connectivity, and impressive battery life. With its responsive controls and additional features, it enhances the gaming experience and provides a viable alternative to the default Joy-Con controllers. If you're looking to elevate your Nintendo Switch gaming experience, this controller is definitely worth considering.

I pre-ordered this Switch Pro controller because of reviews of the Zelda game, saying this was the best controller to play that title. I have to agree! While the joy-cons work great with the Switch in handheld mode, I didn't care for the way the joy-cons feel in the included grip, so I could play Zelda on my TV. As far as I can tell, the Pro controller has most (if not all) of the same features as the joy-cons, including gyroscope, NFC reader for Amiibo, etc. Pro controller is listed to have 40 hours of play before needing to be recharged. I'm not sure how that compares to joy-cons, but I know it is more time. Pro controller automatically synced to my Switch the moment I plugged in the USB-C cord (included with the controller) to the Switch dock and then to my controller. I've lost no wireless connections between the pro controller and the Switch at all when playing Zelda. I highly recommend this accessory. It is pricey, but not a waste of money!

The included Switch controllers are nice but They are somewhat small and thin. if you are used to Xbox or Playstation controllers then this Pro controller is for you. I prefer this Pro controller for the size, feel, and quality. It also connects quickly and responds perfectly during gameplay. Game on...

It feels comfortable to hold. The charge lasts a long time. I have large hands so this feels better than the small controllers that come with the system. I think it will last longer than the original controllers will also. And it costs less than the original controllers.

Got this for playing the Switch in docked mode since the joycons kind of bother my wrists. The Pro controller is super comfortable, like a slightly smaller XBox One pad. The battery life is excellent, I was able to go 2 weeks before having to plug it in. It also includes rumble, motion sensors, and an amiibo reader. Expensive, but worth it in the end.

Very nice!! A well made controller that you do not want to put down. The size/feel is so much better than the joy-con or dual joy-con setup, and so far it does not slip out of my kids hands like with other controllers... I can't wait to blow his mind with the amiibo support.

Wow this controller feels solid not cheap, makes playing games easy..it pairs up fast with switch,and batteries last a very long time..the buttons are so soft and smooth,the d pad is smooth,all tge buttons feel easy to press.this controller beats all wired controller hands down..it rechargeable that last hours .love this so much.

It's a real shame that Nintendo doesn't include this controller in the box, it's fantastic. Aside from its great battery life and comfortable design, the only negative thing about this controller is the price. Try and wait for a sale to snag one. It makes playing games on the switch a much more console-like and enjoyable experience.

Love the Pro controller - it's just the right size, shape, and weight. Pairs instantly with a Switch and the battery lasts a long time.

I don't consider myself an expert on wireless controller but this one is everything I need. The grip is comfortable, the battery life lasts a LONG time, and the darn thing works. I can't tell you how many controllers I've had that got maybe 3 or 4 uses and something went wrong. this things feels durable and has a nice weight to it.
