    A Must for Large Screen Gameplay!

    If you use your Switch to play games on a big screen TV, this controller is an absolute MUST buy. It is perfectly balanced, holds a charge forever, and is 100 times better than the controllers they include with the system. A little pricey, but totally worth it for superior gameplay. Way better than the off-brand knock offs I've tried.

    One of the most solid console controllers I've owned in my life. Just holding it you can feel the build quality compared to some of the cheaper controller options available out there. Battery life is good, I usually get anywhere between 7-10 hours on a full charge. I would highly recommend the pro controller over any other switch controllers, especially the default Nintendo joy-cons.

    The controller is wireless, has HD rumble, amiibo support, and is made with very high quality. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the hefty price point. If you are looking for top of the line best of the best compared to what is available right now, this is your pad.

    The heavy price tag is intimidating but it's definitely worth it, the controller is comfortable to hold for long periods of time. The buttons are responsive, the rumble is strong but not loud. Definitely a must have for play sessions above 2 hours. Though wish it was cheaper.

    Wasn't sure if the pro was worth the extra/bucks, but so far we are really happy with the quality and comfort. One feature that really sold us over the basic /enhanced controller wast the rumble feature. The battery life seems really good so far and the durability seems great also . If you have the standard switch controller that comes with the device this is a great addition for adding an extra player.

    You can't beat an official controller

    I personally enjoy the ergonomic feel of the pro controller. It's much easier to hold and feels familiar unlike the joycons. It is the only pro controller that is wireless, can wake up the switch from sleep mode, gives hd rumble, and uses nfc communicatiom for amiibos. It is relatively expensive and there are cheaper third party options but the value is still there from the Nintendo controller. Overall I would highly recommend it!

    This controller is definitely better than the joycons. The grip is very comfortable and the rumble is also better. Another important thing to keep in mind is that you can turn on the switch with this controller since it is an official Nintendo-made controller. Battery life is good and it doesn't suddenly disconnect mid-game like other cheap controllers.

    Probably the most comfortable controller I've ever held before. I've used this controller constantly since purchasing more than a year ago and its still working like new. No analog stick drift or anything out of the ordinary with this one. My only gripe is that the d-pad is a bit slippery, but I'm just really picky about d-pads. If you have a Switch, then owning this controller is a no-brainer.

    This controller is hands down the most comfortable I've ever used for gaming. I've always been a big fan of the Xbox controller layout and feel, but this takes the cake with regard to comfort. The controller feels totally contoured to your hands with just the right amount of curvature. The plastic used also gives off a more matte feel when compared to other controllers, making it feel less slippery. Literally nothing to say but good things about this. 10/10

    I had this controller for a very long time now and I gotta say, it feels very good in the hands. The button feel big and the sticks are so good. Pretty much everything is responsive and it could link via steam. Is there any flaws with this controller? THE D-PAD CURSE!!! As many of you know, the D-pad on this controller has a very funky issue where you press left or right and it would also register up or down. Although the solution to fix this problem is to open up the controller (For me its easy) and put 4 sided tape to fix the issue, it still baffles me how Nintendo was able to screw up a D-pad.

    Good weight, joystick placement is comfortable, face buttons are slightly bigger than ps4, and it feels great in your hands. The battery life is amazing. I have to charge my ps4 controllers every other play session it seems like but with this one, it feels closer to a week long. Only nitpicks are the rumble is a slight bit weaker and the L&R buttons dont really feel that great as a Wii U Pro. All in all, I will have to buy a 2nd one of these sometime in the future.

    The best way to play on the big screen for the switch. It is expensive, but nothing else really compares to the longevity or precision of this controller. I've had 3 sets of joy con controllers struggle with connectivity and stick drift. Not this one. I'm likely going to buy another one just because I love it so much. Don't look elsewhere, just buy it.

    Necessary addition for adult hands

    Nintendo always seems to have good quality hardware and this is no exception. Being an adult, I find the joycons to be difficult to use for longer periods of time and I prefer the feel of the Pro Wireless Controller by far. Also holds a charge for a good length of time. Considering buying a third. Personally, I rarely pay the full price and if you can pick one of these up for less than $60, I think it’s a no-brained.
