    The Best Controller

    Button mapping is essential for me. This controller is an absolute blessing. Worth the price. I have large hands and I need a durable controller. Regardless, don’t forget the Best Buy Warranty. I get it for all my controllers.

    For the price, this thing isn't necessarily worth it. I got a good deal and a preorder on it, and I don't regret it. It is a huge step up from the joycon, and an obvious purchase if you plan to play games with more than 1 player. I highly suggest you get one of these, at least eventually.

    Nice controller. I find it much more comfortable and easier to use in comparison to the smaller joycons. Would give it 5 stars if it cost $20 less.

    It is a good controller, but not as good as the wii u pro controller. It is a bit smaller that the Wii U pro, but bigger that the switch joycon controller. Its a must buy for playing games on the TV

    Wireless controller that I have been using for a few years now since my purchase. It has worked flawlessly and I could not recommend this enough for those who prefer to play in docked mode.

    Best controller for the Switch! Many many strides better than the joy con controllers in the joy con grip. It’s more comfortable but I will admit that it took some time getting used to the layout of the buttons and the size.

    This is a great controller the kids really like using this one over the default controllers. Controller was recommend by a friend that has a Switch down the street and he was right. Best purchase for extra controller. We might get another very soon...

    Love the feel of this bad boy, but man the D-Pad sure sucks on it... Like definitely don't use it to play Tetris or you'll be sad.

    JoyCon Grip Great, Pro Controller Greater

    The JoyCon Grip that comes with the Switch console is really great, but the Pro Controller gives you a more traditional home console feel. Grab one if you're unsatisfied with the JoyCon Grip, or if you're looking for an overall more comfortable controller to use with your Nintendo Switch.

    I love this controller so much I bought two. This thing looks awesome and feels awesome. I'm not even a huge video game fan, but I love tech. And yet this is really nice sturdy and tough.

    If you're using your switch docked, then this is a must have. Easier on the hands than using joy-cons. Haven't experienced any drift on this controller, while two pairs of joy-cons already drift.

    Nice controller. I liked it more than the one the switch comes with, but now I prefer the original switch one that breaks into 2. But this one is still nice and I think was quite a bit cheaper than the original Switch ones.

    I’ve play with Xbox 360 and one controllers. Played with ps2-4 game controllers. Played with Wii U pro controller. This is hands down the best controller. Feels very well made and buttons never get stuck. Feels like a dream with the triggers. Thinking about buying a second one. ;)

    I have been a gamer for a long time and it would have driven me crazy to use the little controllers that come with the Nintendo switch. Don't get me wrong, I love the Nintendo switch, with the pro controller this becomes an even more fantastic system for use with my television!

    I purchased this for my switch and I like the feel of it. I just think it’s over price a bit since it cost more than a PlayStation control.

    I did not realize how big of a deal using this controller would be compared to just the joy cons. It is a game changer! Even though some games cannot be played with it, like Mario Party, it is still very beneficial to have.
