Customer Ratings & Reviews

I know the JoyCons were a big part of Nintendo's Switch sales campaign, and they are fine for most games, but for those intense high action games you really need a more responsive controller. With that said, Nintendo’s Pro Controller not only fills that need but it is one of my favorite controllers I have used on multiple platforms. Also, the battery life is unmatched. Literal days with constant use versus 6 hours for most I have used. Can’t recommend this controller enough.

This controller is expensive, but you can feel the quality! The weight is great, feels great in the hands, and blows the standard joy-cons out the water. I really didn't wanna pay the high price, but I'm super happy with my purchase.

I bought a cheap knock off controller from Amazon, big mistake! Went to Best Buy for a Pro Controller. I can feel the difference in quality right away. The controller feels solid in my hand with good response time and a charge that last.

A vast improvement for most Switch games. The size of this controller is similar to a PlayStation or Xbox controller and is far more comfortable than the Switch Joy-Con controllers, especially for adults or teenagers with larger hands.

I really thought this thing was overpriced. I avoided getting one ever since the switch came out. First I bought a 3rd party controller, and I ended up letting my brother or friends use it when we played - it felt cheap. Then I got a JoyCon "comfort grip." It didn't fit the bill either. Fast forward a year and I picked this guy up. You can tell from the heft of it that it's quality. I twisted the controller by the grips. No squeaking! Alternated pulling the triggers with varying levels of speed and force. No cheap spring sounds! NFC worked perfectly first try, and most importantly... HD RUMBLE! Battery life has worked out to be 30+ hours, as claimed, plus you can charge it via USB C even while you're gaming. I shouldn't have waited this long, guys.

Good controller. Felt a little odd going from a Power-A to this. Seems a little more sleek. Anything to not have to use joycons when playing docked. Find what fits your needs. In my opinion Nintendo likes to put a little extra margin on their products, charge more than what I think they’re really worth.

I would recommend this controller to anyone! It is a little costly but well worth the money. Works great. I prefer this controller over the joycons. It fits comfortably in your hands. Battery life is also great. A must buy!

I absolutely love this controller - I use it to play Breath of the Wild and it's so much more comfortable for longer playtime sessions. Can't recommend it enough. It might be on the steeper side of pricing, but the battery lasts for forever and my hands feel great every minute of gameplay.

Needed a better grip and layout for Borderlands 2 and Monster Hunter Rise. Has a great feel and any PS4 or Xbox fans will fit right in. 1 month of hard use and no drift...yet. Battery life blows PS4 and Xbox out of the water.

My child loves his new controllers. The grip is nice and so is the weight. They also keep a pretty good charge.

I was skeptical buying a expensive controller for the Switch since i didn't understand the hype around this controller, i bit the bullet and im glad i did, this controller feels great and even feels better with certain game.

This controller feels really nice, and has far better connectivity than the joycon. The battery life is also really good. Only complaint is really the price tag.

I love using the pro controller for my switch. It fits nicely in hands and the buttons are easy to press and control. The life of the controller is pretty good as well. I can play for a few days to a week depending on play without charging.

I bought two of these controllers. They're are great to play with and are durable. I've dropped these controllers multiple times and it's still functional. It holds a long charge and works great across the living room. Great purchase!

I've played Nintendo switch with several pairs of Nintendo brand joycons as well as off-brand. I've also played with several off-brand pro controllers and one other Nintendo brand pro controller. All of them eventually got joy-con drift. So far this one has been perfect. The battery life is great, and I have not experienced any drift. It also feels really well made. With this controller you can still scan amiibos and motion controls work great. I will update this review if it begins to have joycon drift in the future.

This is a great wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch. We purchased it because it was Nintendo brand. We haven’t ran across a game yet that it doesn’t work on. It stays charged for a very long time. Glad we purchased it!!!!

The battery life. The comfort provided while playing any video game makes it more enjoyable. Highly recommend

Bought this controller to use with the Samsung Gaming Hub on our Q90F 4K TV. This allows us to play games through the XBOX Game pass (if you have that), LUNA which if you have the Amazon Firestick will have some free options to play those and NIVIDA gaming if you have that subscription. This is really a good option if you don't have a gaming console and want to game on a newer TV that offers streaming gaming where all you need is a Bluetooth controller and a subscription to one of the gaming services offered through your specific tv. I also purchased this controller since my daughter has a Switch and we are also able to use this contoller when we play co-op games via her switch when hooked out to the Q90F 4K TV.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love the feel. The battery life is so long ive had to charge 3 times and ive played tears of the kingdom for 100 hours!

Love the controller. Far more comfortable than joy-cons and doesn't suffer from the connection issues of the left joy-con. Looks great feels great. Battery seems to last forever. Charged the night I got it on March 3rd, and put about 15 hours into zelda since and the on screen meter is full still.
