Customer Ratings & Reviews

I honestly like playing with this a lot better then the joy cons. Don't get me wrong the joy cons are a fun gimmick and a fun way to add extra players but this is easily the "player 1" controller that the younger siblings never got to play. I would recommend this for any switch player.

It's expensive, especially since it's not *needed* when the joy cons can be used with the include grip, but the pro controller feels great in the hand and its battery life is excellent. It's also very convenient to be able to dock and undock the switch while the joy cons are still attached, and just use the controller once it's docked.

Consistent and never has connectivity issues like I had with knock off brands. Great quality like you'd expect.

Excellent remote I love that I can recharge and no need for batteries

Wonderful controller, comfortable, and great battery life

If you bought the Switch to play on the TV you need to buy this. Very comfortable to use for long play sessions and feels a lot better than the joy cons. Would have gave five stars but the price is a bit much.

I got the pro controller because the joycons are very small and my hands would hurt after a while of playing. Since buying this controller, I have been able to enjoy my games much more, and it is easier to play games like Overwatch or Fortnite. I also really enjoy that the battery lasts a long time

This pro controller automatically sync to the Nintendo Switch when I plugged in the USB-C cord (included with the controller.) This is a great addition, because you can play it right away when the controller is plugged in to the docked Switch. Versus the joy cons need to be charged to be able to play. It is pricey, but I would recommend having one with your Switch.

Really good controller. Comfortable and the battery lasts long.

Awesome upgrade over the supplied joy con controllers. Wish I would have gotten this when playing BOTW, love the battery life, fast charging, and the controls are smooth and easier on the hands. Took a few hours to get used to it coming from only using the supplied joy cons.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has quickly become my favorite controller among all of my consoles. The responsive buttons work incredibly well, and overall it feels very solid and sturdy. At first you may be turned away by the high price but compared to my Xbox One Controllers, I feel this outclasses them in every way! A must have for your Nintendo Switch.

An amazing control that’s lasted me years now! Fits my palms perfectly and has great buttons to go along with it

The Pro controller is extremely comfortable to hold, it makes playing Zelda way easier for me than using the Joy Cons. It is similar in form to the XB1 controller. It does seem extremely overpriced for a controller, but it is probably due to its included motion controls. Also, it comes with a USB cable to charge the controller with the Switch dock, but I find this useless unless you sit very close to the TV. Bought a second AC adapter cable so I could charge it from a power outlet closer to me, but this was okay since the Switch itself can also use the same cable, making the second cable also usable as a travel charger instead of having to unplug the one from the dock whenever you want to take the system mobile.

This controller is very solid. I would almost go so far as to call it heavy. It is a great controller. The rumble is just right. There are two minor issues I have with the controller: the controller is a bit small for my large hands and the home button is too easy to hit by accident. I still think the controller should get all five stars though.

I actually enjoy using the Joy-Cons in the included grip that comes with the system, but, being a Nintendo console, you are guaranteed to need at least one other controller at some point (Mario Kart, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Pokken, etc. all are great for multi-player). The Pro controller provides a slightly cheaper option (though still too expensive) than a new Joy-Con pair (especially if you factor in a charging stand for two sets of Joy-Cons), and allows for a more traditional control scheme to games like Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart. Good pick-up if you are looking for that and play in TV mode a lot. You can still use it in handheld mode, but that seems like too much to carry around depending on the circumstances.

[Employee of bestbuy] If you're a couch gamer, and not fond of how the joycon controllers feel, this truky is the way to go. And, I have two, and have yet to have any stick drift issues.

Better than the joy cons that come with the switch. Makes the gaming experience better and comfortable. This is a must have item for the switch wont be going back to those joycons ever again.

Good quality very nice material and good grip as well

I've been content using the joy cons on the Switch since I got it, but when I bought Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, I decided I needed something more traditional to get the full effect of the game. I'm glad I did. This controller rocks and is much more comfortable and familiar. I still like the joy cons for MarioKart, though.

We love this controller! We bought two so that the adults in the house could actually play switch games with ease. The joy-con controllers feel too small for my adult hands and my hands are not large. The one drawback is that they are pricey. It would have been nice to get these cheaper.
