Customer Ratings & Reviews

While the price is a little higher than competitors' controllers, the Switch Pro Controller has a lot of tech inside, including an NFC reader and motion controls. It feels comfortable in your hands and is much better suited for extended play than the system's included Joy-Cons. Has a very good battery life of around 40 hrs.

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.

This controller is great if you have bigger hands and the normal switch controllers are just a little too small for you! So far no drift or any other issues with it. It is a little pricy but if you can snag it during a sale it is definitely worth it.

this controller is great and I would say a must buy for a switch. I never had any drift issues with it and the battery is a beast. It lasts for ever. I'm not a heavy gamer and I probably charged this thing just 3 or 4 times in a year span of owning it.

This is perfect. I was using this JoyCons that come with the switch but when I play for extended periods those JoyCons feel small and uncomfortable. This is very comfortable to use the grips are good the button sizes are perfect and battery life is good

Nintendo is famous for always making the best controller option well....their controller option. 3rd party nintendo controllers just never quite felt as good since the super nintendo days. This is worth the buy also because there are also a lot of adapters for say using an xbox or ps4 controller given fancy bluetooth nowadays...but then you have to worry about firmware updates and pairing and button options...you get my point. I own a pc, xbox, ps4 and a switch. I would say more comfortable than both the dualshock 4 but not as comfortable as an xbox elite controller. Connection is consistent, buttons are crisp, joystick are smooth with a good range of motion and although i have those kontrol freek caps on my ps4 and xbox controllers i don't think I'll need them for this switch pro controller as the joysticks are a great texture out of the box. motion controls are awesome too. and the battery truly is somewhere around 30ish hours or more...i have not had to recharge it yet in over a month.

This controller works very well for both the switch 1 and 2, it's also a lot more comfortable to use than the joy-cons, especially if find them to be too small.

Great sturdy wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch. This is very comfortable to use and the charge seems to last a long time. We usually plug it in at the end of the day and let it charge overnight or until the next time it's needed. This is much easier than using the switch controllers that I always thought felt too delicate to use for too long. Those can now stay attached to the switch in the dock for when you need to take the switch away with you. After purchasing this controller the switch controllers have not been off of the switch. Recommend buying this for anyone needing a controller that seems to be built to last. I don't think kids could break this one as easy as the delicate feeling switch controllers attached to the console. It is a bit over priced I think but all Nintendo stuff is.

Great joystick in terms of the fell and grip. Its a bit expensive compared to others, but I'll pay the extra $$, instead of using batteries. This joysticks comes with a rechargeable battery. My son loves it and the charge last for at least 8 hours. J

I wish there were more color options but I have no complaints about this controller. The buttons are sturdy, I LOVE that it's wireless, and the battery lasts for a long time. I've played several hours of sessions without having to charge it.

Great controller. Battery life is amazing, after about 24 hours of gameplay I wondered what the charge was at and it wasn't below 50%. The grips feel very nice and it is very comfortable to hold in my hands. The sticks also allow for better aiming than the joy-cons, in games where aiming is crucial.

The controller is a bit more expensive than I would have liked but if you’re a TV gamer and aren’t using the switch as a portable then it’s a must-have accessory. The Pro controller doesn’t exhibit any of the lag or connectivity issues of the normal controllers and is much more natural to hold.

Hands down best thing I bought for switch. Easy to hold, ergonomic, and long battery life. I only have to remember to charge it up every third day or so. It takes the same type of charging cord as my iPhone and Bluetooth speakers.

I love this controller. Works wonderfully. I was a little unsure because of the price but it is worth it. I did quite a bit of research and I suggest if you are on the fence of getting this (the real deal, The Name Brand) or getting some off brand, Go This Route. If you buy some cheap no brand stuff from Amazon, high chance you will regret it later. You will probably end up buying another one to the point that it would add up to the price of this one, which will last for a long time unless you deliberately break it. If you are concerned about the price go for an open box or use a trustworthy brand. I also own an Afterglow pro NS controller which works really good. One other thing is that these controllers are a lot nicer and easier to work with (whilst in TV or Tabletop mode) than the Joy-Cons.

My son loves this product. He says the grip and the joysticks feel great and he loves the design. When he charged it he said it was quick and that the battery charge lasted for a long time. 2 months of usage and it feels like brand new. From the grip to the battery charge, this really is a great product. I definetely recommend this. The right price for this controller should be $35-$40

It is without hyperbole that I personally call this controller the best console controller on the market as of right now. It just feels the most comfortable. Not to mention, through Bluetooth, it works as a PC controller as well. It's a tad pricey, but I am not at all disappointed with the quality.

If you have a Nintendo switch then you need this controller. The handles are textured to provide additional grip for long gaming hours. Extremely comfortable and very long battery life. I purchased mine at launch and charged this only once! If you have big hands like me don't rely on the joy cons.

If you're one of those players who see a weighty controller as a sign of quality then you'll be very happy with the heft on the Switch Pro Controller for sure. Pleasingly, it also feels really solid - there are no awkward hollow plastic noises when you tap your way around the chassis, and button presses don't produce any awkward loud clicks. I own an Xbox Elite 2 Controller, an Xbox regular controller(released 2-3 yrs ago), a PS5 controller, and this Pro controller. This one has the best weight sensation for me, I'm a 5'2" girl. Yet I still feel this controller is a little bit overpriced (and the PS5 controller is even more overpriced). But you really get no choice when you want to have a controller on your Switch and can't buy anything better at a better price.

I’ve gotten a number of different controllers for my Nintendo switch and this is by far the best one. Charges easy, feels great to hold, and is lightweight. Would recommend this controller to anyone.

If you aren’t using a pro controller for your Nintendo switch you need to. This are really comfortable, battery last for several days of heavy use, and they are sturdy and don’t drift like the joycons.
