Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch's Pro controller is very comfortable in your hands, and feels like a mix between the Xbox and PS controllers. This is an essential purchase if you intend to play your Switch with games that require long game sessions like Zelda, etc, but makes games such as SSB Ultimate easier to control, and play. This is hands down the best official controller for the Nintendo Switch. The only con about it is the price. For some reason it costs even more than an XB1 or PS4 controller.

Amazing battery life, first off, with it holding a charge of roughly 24 hours so far. I have purchased 2 of these (the review is for the most recent one) and have had zero issues. The signal never cuts out and it holds up really well, considering the fact that I have dropped them a few times on accident. No scratches and no damage when I did so. And they’re way more eco friendly than the battery options for controllers, too. Easily worth the price.

While the Switch is a beautiful blend of handheld and console, it suffers a notable weakness in the form of the joycon control sticks, which can be an impediment in certain games. The Switch Pro Controller is easily one of the finest controllers I have ever used. The battery has an impressively long life, the sticks and buttons are smooth and responsive, and it is comfortable in the hands. If you play your Switch on your TV, I highly recommend you invest in a Pro Controller.

In terms of feel, this controller is one of the most comfortable to hold. I prefer the feel of this over XBone and PS4 controllers, honestly. The buttons, on the other hand, are a different matter. They're not bad, but they're not great. They feel kind of mushy. The D-pad is decent. It's a little stiff at first but quickly becomes a bit mushy as well. (Sorry, it's about the best way I can describe it.) And, yes, I know this is simply the nature of using rubber domes in your controller. I guess, I was just hoping for something more tactile and precise with "Pro" in the name. (but then I'm weird) "But wait" I hear you cry, "the Joycons have more tactile and precise feeling buttons!" True, but the Joycons are smaller and less comfortable in the hand than the Pro Controller. Further, they don't have a true D-pad like the Pro Controller. And, honestly, those are the two main reasons I would recommend the Pro Controller, in the first place. A true, decent D-pad on a controller that's very comfortable to hold. Does that make it a must have accessory? I'd say so, yes.

The pro controller greatly improves the playing experience when the switch is docked. I have huge hands and the small joy cons were a bother. The pro controller was a welcome change. The internal battery lasts around 25-30 hours. The only con is that it is too pricey.

This controller is a necessity when it comes to accuracy of shooting & extended comfort for those who play fortnite all day during this quarantine like my sister and I. She uses a pro controller with her switch lite, and I use one when I’m docking my full size switch. The pro controller is very durable and the battery life is above average! I charge it every 3 days-thats around 25-30 hours of game play on it. 10/10 would recommend

Comfortable controller. I prefer this for pc over the xbox controller.

These are considerably more expensive than wired controllers, but they are worth it. Our couch is not close to our tv setup, so we would have to sit on the ground to play. That's fine as a kid, not as an adult. So I came across these. They have been amazing! They have a nice feel to them. It keeps a charge pretty long too! Be smart, and spend the extra money.

Do you sometimes play a game for more than 10 minutes? This is the controller for you! The battery on this controller last a long time, sits comfortably in your hands, and is very responsive. It makes playing games like Super Mario Odyssey much more enjoyable. The only negative I would have about his controller is the appearance. The black plastic is a little transparent, making it look like an old aftermarket controller. Other than that, this is a great addition to the console.

Bought this for the wife because the standard Switch Joy Cons are notorious for getting stick drift - and her Joy Cons on both sides had stick drift. This is an excellent, well made controller that every Switch owner should have! Pros: Long battery life, quick charging time Controller feels solid, not flimsy at all Buttons feel great, have good response Connects to Switch easily Cons: Wish these came in other colors.

This is BY FAR, the best official controller for any console. It is so comfortable in the hands. The sticks feel great. The rumble is amazing. The gyro controls. The PC usage. It’s amazing. The only flaw is the D-Pad so for fighting games like street fighter I wouldn’t recommend this (but if you’re taking those games seriously you probably have a fight stick) if you’re thinking about buying this. DO IT. You will not regret a thing. Also the battery life is amazing.

Controller comfort really depends on your hand size, personal preference, and past controllers. With its slightly larger than average face buttons, this reminded me of something Sega would have put out (in all the right ways). It's the most comfortable controller I've held, and I much prefer it over the JoyCon grip (which is fine but not in the same ball park as this). My only complaint is that the dpad is just okay, which is a shame considering a lot of people will consider buying this just to have one.

Basically this is the only way to have a real high quality controller. The joycons are nice and convenient as well as versatile but if you want an actual controller that you can use this is the only way. I wish it didn't have a 70 dollar pricetag. Of course Nintendo is gonna try and rake in that money. One convenient thing is that it charges with type c which most phones use now so you should have a few cables to charge the controller if you happen to lose yours.

Love this controller. It syncs up quickly to the Switch, it feels solid in your hand, it works perfectly, and it's durable (my kids tend to drop controllers and knock them off of furniture on to the non-carpeted floor). I have 2 of these, and while I have 2 pairs of joycons and 3 Beboncool wireless pro controllers, I'd like another one of these because I play with two kids who prefer these controllers to the others.

Excellent controller! The shipping was fast and great condition! Best Buy is my go to!

great durability, long playtime after full charge, charges decently quick, can play while plugged in charging - my sons dropped his original one more times than I can count and it's still working perfectly no drift issues button stuck issues etc, - also uses usb c to charge which is great for kids no wrong way to plug it in. not really many sales on this controller - you get what you pay for.

Just perfect 100% satisfied.. Durable great weight performance long lasting charged.

The Nintendo Switch Pro controller certainly is pricey but when you consider its 40 hour battery life and extremely comfortable form-factor, I would consider it essential. This is the best controller Nintendo has made since the GameCube controller. It's also important to note that the PS4 controller for example is only $10 cheaper and the battery life is exponentially worse. I have yet to try the HD rumble but the controller is so comfortable to use that I can confidently say that this is the way to go.

The battery life alone is worth buying it, yet the more comfortable grip than the Grip for the Joy-cons, the HD rumble, and several other features make it a solid controller to own. The llack of a headphone jack and the d-pad are my only issues that keep it from getting 5/5 review.

I had 1 of these and was really happy with it. Bullet-proof and near impossible to break (stepped on it 1x - and I'm NOT a lightweight..) Bought a second so that my wife can join in with the games I play with family, knowing it's better for her to have a full-size - even though I do have the regular Switch mini-controllers and the device that connects them into a single controller, these are better!
