    This product is well developed and constructed. It's comfortable and feels natural in your hands. Makes playing games like, Zelda, a lot better and smoother. Really like this product and the battery life is no joke!

    Good size for adult hands and has a more traditional button layout if you really want. Great for more competitive games like Splatoon 2 or Arms, but the Joy-Con can be just as comfortable for slower paced games.

    Necessity for Switch Owners

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you own a switch, you pretty much need this controller. While the Joy-cons are OK for short periods of gaming, anything longer can really cramp up your hands. The pro controller feels and looks nice, and makes playing for longer sessions more enjoyable. I only have 2 complaints with it. I think it is a little expensive and they were hard to even come by when I was looking for them. Nintendo really needs to work on their supply issues.

    Nice controller with a comfortable grip. Controls are very responsive. Has a good weight to it. Perfect for Super Smash if you are considering moving on from your GameCube controller or JoyCons.

    The controller is comfortable and long lasting. Bottom line: If you plan on playing anything like Breath of the Wild or Bayonetta on the tv, you owe it to your hands to upgrade to this.

    If I have one criticism of the Switch, it's that those little joy cons are not super comfortable to use for extended periods of time. Even with the provided dock that they slot in to in order to simulate a full sized controller, they are just too small to use for protracted play sessions. After a while with them, my hands get kind of stiff, and I guess if I wanted to be a responsible adult, I would take that as a sign that maybe I should take a break and go do something else. But, a different part of being an adult is the right to willfully ignore those signs and continue on doing stupid things. Fortunately, the Switch Pro Controller enables me to do just that and to play for hours and hours on end in phalangeal comfort.

    This remote is great. It lasts for hours before a recharge and feels great. Makes playing games way more comfortable than the joycons which aren't horrible. Def my go-to controller.

    This is a must have controller. If you want more of the original experience with a more comfortable grip gaming long periods of time get the pro controller. Charges quickly, hefty price but quality is very good.

    Great controller

    It’s a great way to play Switch games. The controller melts into your hands and is much more comfortable than a GameCube controller. However the controller may be a bit pricey especially that you need to spend $300 for the console along with an extra $60 for a game just to enjoy the experience. Luckily I bought it when it was $50. If you ever see it on sale again, I recommend to pick it up.

    The joy con grip worked for me but always had a slightly smaller grip than I wanted -- this worked great to solve that issue. Lasts a long time and doesn't feel light.

    Got this as a gift for my friend and he loved it so much better than playing with a little joy Kahn joy pads, joy, sticks whatever you call them. This is like an actual real controller. The video games should be.

    The joy cons that come with the switch are great for daily/travel play, but I can say that this controller is a big QOL improvement over the joy cons. Very happy with this controller.
