    This definitely beats using the joycons that come with the switch... that may have a faulty connection that causes control issues. This has no connection issues and is comfortable for my child-sized hands to hold. It also seems to be suitable for normal adult-sized hands. It is just unfortunate that Nintendo did not see fit to include this with the switch and/or lower the price on this considering the known issues with the left joycon. I have not used any third party controllers so this is the best I have tried, but may not be the best overall.

    This is actually the second one I've purchased and I don't regret it a bit. Between the comfort of holding it in my hand to the long battery life, this is a must own for anyone who wants to play their switch in docked mode for any extended period of time.

    If you own a Nintendo Switch, then this accessory is a must have. Esp if you intend on playing games such as Zelda. It’s wireless with easy to grip comfort. Very handy for when playing long hours at a time and/or for when playing games where several buttons are required.

    Perfect for an additional controller. Bigger than the original joy con controllers so feel normal if you are use to a Xbox controller. Battery lifespan says 40 hours and it is right. Charging cable can also charge the Switch if you are in a vehicle (just need a USB port)

    Seriously, don't bother with 3rd party controllers. This one is far superior in function, design, durability, and feel. Others are iffy at best. This one may be a little bit more expensive, but you'll be happy in the long run that you shelled out the extra money.

    This controller greatly improved my playthrough of BotW. The front buttons are much larger and better spaced, and the triggers are as well. The only thing I don't like about this controller is its price, but it is a high quality controller, so you are getting what you pay for.

    It was pretty expensive, but still good after over a year. So I would say good quality! Bought this for my son and he loves it. I guess it’s a must need for more gaming fun.

    I had heard good things about the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller so figured I would pick one up to try it out. Played through Mario Tennis Aces with it and was satisfied with the controller battery life, responsiveness, and weight. I plan on keeping it.

    Absolute must-have for the Switch. The joy-cons are very good, but the pro controller is an amazing peice of hardware. It honestly feels better than my PS4 controllers, and I love the DS4. Every switch owner should seriously consider having at least one of these around.

    I like this style of controller more than the switch controllers due to its larger and angled grips, can travel with it, but is better for playing at home on the big screen, also feel like it holds a charge forever, its been a few days of game play with 1 full charge

    Best controller for Switch hands down! Can also be used on PC and the hd rumble makes it worth it. Solid and long lasting! Make sure you take care of it though as replacing it can be costy.

    I've been using a 3rd party controller for the past year and finally upgraded to a pro controller. I like the grip, the feel and the tilt functions. Great purchase and I got the warranty just in case I get the infamous drift.

    It’s nice you can use the JoyCons that come with the Switch as a controller, but the Pro Controller is way more comfortable to hold and has super long battery life. I think at least one Pro Controller is a must have—get two if you game with a friend!

    Unlike the pro controller for Wii U, this thing has some good heft and feels well constructed. The battery life is really good. I think the D-Pad could have been a little better and the home, +, - buttons are a little small, but aside from that this is a very nice controller.

    Though the JoyCons do a fine job when playing, this helps the power player literally get a better grip on things. The batttery holds a charge for hours of play and is easy to charge while playing. I think the grip is more ergonomic and the joystick feels well built.
