Customer Ratings & Reviews

I do not mind using the Joy-Cons when playing games like Zelda, but the Pro Controller feels like a much more natural fit. I would constantly struggle to hit the "-" button on the Joy-Cons when they're attached together due to the awkwardness of it being so close to the left thumbstick, but it is perfect on this controller. The controller overall has a feeling of quality, and it has a very long battery life. Some games require and even work well with the Joy-Cons, but for fighters and action/adventure games, I would strongly suggest getting a Pro Controller.

The look and feel of this controller is very premium and feels good in the hand. The feature that I did not expect is that I have logged around 60+ hours on Breath of the Wild and the controller still shows as being charged somewhere up in the 80% range, which is incredible. Whatever technical sorcery allows this should be integrated into other premium controllers like those offered by Microsoft, Razer, etc.

The worst thing about this controller is that it has more input lag than the joycons (based off my perception). Everything else is great. Holds a charge for a long time. Is very comfortable. Feels very sturdy and higher quality than my xbONE controllers. I really like it and think it’s nearly perfect.

Awesome controller for the true gamer. Super long battery and high quality. Comfortable on the hands and excellent for all games for Nintendo Switch!!

Great controller for the Switch. Feels good in the hands, probably second favorite controller after DS4. Loooooong battery life. Is pricy but worth it.

It's very comfortable and has no connection issues. The price is a bit high compared to other brands, but you are paying for compatibility.

While the controller is a little pricey it addresses the main complaints I have with Joy-Cons in general. Better ergonomics with a feel not unlike the Xbox One/360 controllers, MUCH better thumbsticks than Joy-Con, and excellent battery life. Seriously the upgraded thumbsticks alone are worth the upgrade IMO. Only improvements I think could have been made with this controller are the D-Pad, which feels kinda mushy in comparison with the Joy-Con buttons, and the size/grouping of the ABXY buttons which again lack the nice click of Joy-Con.

Great comfortable controller probably the best for the switch. I know there are many different kinds to choose from and while I don't like the high price battery life is amazing. It has HD rumble which is nice, and motion control all buttons feel great I would definitely recommend the pro controller over some of the power A controllers I have the nano which is also good but battery life not so much.

Great battery life (and even comes fully charged!), works awesome with Gyro, and is more comfortable to hold than the Joycon+grip setup. Looks pretty sleek; I like how you can see into the electronics on the inside. This is a must have if you have a hard time comfortable holding the joy cons, with or without the grip. The space distribution on the pro controller is just better and more similar to other console controllers like Play Station, XBOX.

Great controller . Easy to use. Highly recommend. Great price

Best controller of this generation. Bought as the joy-con are a bit cramped and didn't want to deal with joystick drift. This controller feels so good in hand and the joysticks honestly feel better than the PS5 Dual Sense Xbox Series controller. The 40 hour battery is well beyond them we well. Features like HD rumble and the NFC are also nice. All around if you have a Switch and want the best in controllers this is the controller you need.

In terms of comfort, button placement, design, the way the sticks feel, and how satisfying it is to push any button with a nice "click" feeling, this is easily the second best controller ever made behind the Xbox One controller. It is SO comfortable and the battery lasts a REALLY long time and charges super fast thanks to USB C. Definitely beats every aspect of the very cheap feeling ps4 controller with terrible battery life. Although is it necessary if you just have the grip and joy cons? Not necessarily but it is definitely the best way to play your games.

I love using this for my Switch and also when using my laptop

This controller is much more comfortable than the one that comes with the console. I played for months with the joy-cons attached to the grip handle. But with games like Zelda I needed more than an hour to move fordward in the story, and the joy-cons started to feel very uncomfortable, So I upgraded to the Pro and it was a huge difference. Loved it. It took me a few days to get used to the new buttons setup, but it was worth it. No more cramped hands xD. I also think that the battery of this controller last longer than the joy-cons.

Seems like a solid controller and I like the fact that the battery is built in. My only complaint is that it looks cheap and it is on the pricey side. Having said that, it doesn't feel cheap at all in that the buttons all seem solid and the controller itself has heft to it. It has also survived a fall with no scratches :)

Excellent controller. It feels great in my hands, battery lasts a long time, and doesn’t feel cheap.

You can use this controller plugged in or unplugged! Great choice instead of constantly having to buy batteries! My son uses it daily for hours before he charges it again.

I do not care for Xbox too much, but the 360 arguably has the best ergonomic controller, at least for my hands. This controller is pretty close to that level of comfort for me, and it has some heft to it so it does not feel like it is flimsy, but not overly heavy. The only thing it is missing is a headphones port, but the Switch can use wireless headphones now so that is less of an issue. My recommendation is to buy at least one as the joy-con are fine, but this is how you will want to game when you can.

Yes is better than the joycon, the stick will no drift, is more conforble and battery life is excellent!

Overall, I like this controller a lot. The battery life is insane. I've gotten through several weeks of playing numerous hours every day on a single charge (I'm writing this as the Coronavirus lockdown is going on). It feels good to hold and it doesn't have the Bluetooth connectivity issues I've encountered with the Joy-Cons. However, the d-pad is garbage. This is a common complaint I've read many people make online, and it is totally true. This is most obvious if you try to play Tetris 99 with it (a good game you should definitely play), where it will falsely register d-pad presses and ruin your game CONSTANTLY. It's a shame they couldn't get that one very important thing right, because otherwise this would be a nearly flawless controller.
