Customer Ratings & Reviews

they fit in my hand - perfectly. they have good weight without being too light or too heavy. they charge quickly and hold the charge well for a good amount of play time. my only gripe is that the y, x, b, a button were designated a bit more clear (so i can see which is which) it is often hard to see the letters on the button. other than that - great controller.

This control is a better choice than classic Joy Cons in most games, unless you need some kind of freedom like in Mario Odyssey or Just dance, the control is superior in every aspect compared to JoyCons, it's a little expensive, but it's still worth.

Having to buy a new pro controller to replace one with stick drift isn’t my favorite circumstance, but buying from Best Buy did make the experience painless. Simple to find online, and delivered quickly. The pro controller itself remains pretty great despite eventually developing stick drift like all modern controllers; needs to be charged maybe once a week even when playing Tears of the Kingdom heavily everyday, and comfort which may be even better than the PS5’s dualsense controller.

Feels good and weighty. I think its overpriced but its still the best controller you can get for the switch.

Great controller, no issues after playing on it for several years.

Love this controller compared to the original joycons that come with the Switch. It is much larger and easier to hold. I am able to get a better grip using this controller. Love it. Definitely recommend. Long battery life and charges quickly .

Great buy. I have large hands, makes playing my switch a lot easier at home, or at work with a stand lol. Charges quickly and lasts forever on the charge. Buttons are responsive, and I have had zero issues. A bit pricey but I got what I paid for.

This Nintendo Switch Pro controller is a great purchase. It’s well-made, comfortable, and adds value to gaming by allowing play away from the screen perfect for longer sessions without being too close to the screen. Highly recommend for Switch users!

I would give this a 4.5 if I could. This controller may be one of my all top favorite controllers with one slight disappointment. First the pros. The ergonomic feel and layout of the buttons and grip handling of the Switch Pro Controller is far superior to the joy-cons. The face buttons are also larger than the buttons on the joycon which gives more comfort for longer gaming sessions. The triggers feel and respond just right. The controller build quality is very solid with a little weighty feeling that doesn't cause hand fatigue. I the handles themselves also have a nice textured grip that just feels great to handle. The only major negative that I have is that there is no 3.5mm headphone jack on the controller, but this speaks to the overall complexity of the voice chat experience with the system that is still being worked out. I hope that with the Switch Online service to come in September of 2018 that voice chat will be made simpler and maybe a revision will come to allow wired headset connection to the controller. Until then though- if you want to game on the Switch with comfort and satisfaction- get this controller. I've had no d-pad issues whatsoever.

I've been using the joy cons for about 2 years and finally decided to get the pro controller. It's a huge difference much more comfortable and I don't have to deal with any drift. It has a decent battery life as well.

soooo much better than the regular joycons, which tend to drift :/ this feels comfortable when playing games and has better quality. it’s expensive, just like any other controller, but it’s worth it imo

I definitely felt like I was splurging when I was purchasing this controller because there are many cheaper alternatives. I’m glad I got this one because I can turn on my switch remotely if it’s in the dock. it’s so comfortable to hold, has vibration, and holds battery for a very long time. Not the end of the world if I didn’t have this controller, but I love how quickly and easily it connects to the switch.

Solid, great weight (not too heavy), long battery life. But i do think $70 for any controller is a bit mich.

When I first got my Switch, whenever I played with it connected to my TV I used the JoyCon controller conversion thing that came with it. That worked fine for a while, but it just does not feel right. I decided I wanted something a little more comfortable, so I tried this controller. Boy does it make a difference. It is very comfortable, especially compared to the JoyCon thing that came with the Switch. It is wireless and charges pretty quick, but you can play with it still plugged into the Switch dock in a pinch. If I had to give a negative quality, it would be that the buttons do not click like the JoyCon buttons do, but honestly that is just nit picky, and I will not dock the score for that alone. Five stars all the way.

I was skeptical about getting a pro controller because it's pretty expensive and I'd always liked using my joy cons. But they started to drift to the point that lots of games were unplayable. A friend of mine said she was really satisfied with her pro controller and that she hasn't had any drift issues with it. I won't use anything else now! The HD rumble is really nice, especially with games where the rumble helps you navigate, etc. The textures of the different buttons are icing on the cake. My only complaint is that when I'm playing in handheld mode with the pro controller, I have to make sure the joycons aren't attached or else the switch sometimes thinks I'm using them to play and starts drifting.

Very well designed controller. Comfortable and lightweight

i've had my switch for about a year now and only just recently picked up the pro controller in the last month. i've had few issues with using the joy-cons as my primary controller and their ability to be used independent of each other allows for way more comfort during extended play sessions. i decided to pick up the pro controller when i bought the new monster hunter release as i'm not very experienced in that games mechanics and UI and using the joy-cons during the demo was very clunky for my larger hands. the pro controller is fantastic. very comfortable and great responsiveness, and i rectifies the only major issue i have with the joy-cons, which is lack of a proper d-pad. i definitely think it's worth adding to your controller collection even if you are satisfied with what you already have.

Fantastic controller. Buttons are responsive and it has just enough “umph” in the weight department to make it feel quality and not cheap. A great aspect since using it that I’ve noticed is how long the charge lasts. I’m lazy and forgetful. Two bad characteristics to keep things charged. This controller goes for days with plenty of play and lack of plugging in. Get it, especially if the Xbox controller is high on your list.

I love using it for Zelda when I'm at home playing on the TV. That way I don't have to take the joy-cons off the console each time I play. I've used the controller about 20 hours and I haven't had to charge it since the initial charge. The joy cons don't have d-pads, so you'll want one if you play a lot of 2D games. Although it's bulkiness makes it more challenging to bring with you for portable play, it's a better build quality than the joy cons or even the Wii U pro controller. I still prefer the PS4 controler overall, but I could see this being a favorite with more time. I should mention that it doesn't work with all games, since many of them are designed to use the joy cons unique features. The lack of a headphone jack and no analog triggers are unfortunate, but it's your best choice for Zelda and probably other future "traditional hard-core games".

Fantastic feel, good weight, responsive sticks and buttons that are placed well, and a 40 hour battery life. Includes USB-C charging cable. I think this even trumps the 360 controller. Works natively with PC out of the box. A must have for any gamer.
