    What the Switch should've included

    If you're like me, and just picked up a Switch for the local multiplayer fun, you definitely need to get your hands on this Real controller. Especially comfortable after long sessions; Nintendo should've included this with their console!

    Seriously, this is the only way to play games with your switch (obviously not Pokémon, but you know what I mean). Not getting hand cramps by playing with the joycons is so nice!

    I love the Switch Pro Controller, it's mega comfortable and is a major upgrade on the dual joycon handle controller that the system comes with. It's a lot more ergonomic in my experience and I don't get fatigued or tired using it.

    An expensive but must have accessory for the switch. This is still a cheaper and better option than purchasing new joycons to have the familiar feel of a quality controller like other consoles.

    The Pro controller feels well made. Reception is fantastic, connectivity is very good. In fact, it connects to my Nintendo Switch much much faster than my Xbox One controller does to mine. Only downside is it is a little pricey. Overall a solid build though.

    This is by far the best option when looking at "Pro" style controllers for the Switch. There are a lot of other options but none are quite as good in all the areas you want. Also if you wait for a sale it's very comparable in price.

    It probably costs too much for a regular controller, but the controller itself is well made and the best way to play most Switch games.

    Great controller. I love the offset anolog sticks made famous by xbox so im right at home with this. The only issue I have is the price but getting it on sale for $60 was worth it in my opinion.

    Nintendo has been hitting it out of the park with their controllers. This is comfier to use than the Gamecube controller for smash (I used to play competitively in tournaments like Evo). I love it and highly recommend this.

    My husband got the Switch and my 5 year old was having a little bit of trouble with the tiny controls. So we went out and got this for her and loved it. It has an old school feel of controllers we grew up with. We ended up tracking down another one for a set.

    This is a very nice controller for the Switch. Compared to other consoles, it is just as good. For the Switch it is great, as for me the Joy-cons are too small for my big hands. I definitely play better with it than the Joy-cons. Battery life is also amazing.

    I was able to pick this up while it was on sale and I cannot believe I didn’t pick it up sooner. Perfect got games such as Overcooked! 2, all MARIO games and Yoshi. Recommend this to EVERYONE who plays switch on docked mode often.

    Falls short of 5 stars for one reason...

    ...and that reason is the d-pad. I'm not quite sure how Nintendo failed to get the d-pad completely right on this controller, but it just does not have the feel or reliability that is seen from literally every other Nintendo controller. Make sure to contact Nintendo if you encounter issues with your d-pad as there are most definitely issues with incorrect inputs on the controller. Still, it is the best way to play most games, so I can't fault it too much. Just make sure you get one with a d-pad that is to your liking.

    Made playing Breath of the Wild an even more enjoyable experience. Also, this controller is almost a requirement to play Splatoon 2. Almost. Controller is built well and is very comfortable. Buy it. I recommend this controller to anyone who will listen.

    Took an hour or two to get used to the right stick as it felt a bit further away from the hand compared to other controllers. But overall, a phenomenal controller with arguably the best comfort. I hold this and the Xbox One controller as my top two preferences.
