    Recently bought a Switch and quickly noticed that my hands didn't feel comfortable with the joy cons. I've read stories of the joy-con drifts and seeing how expensive the replacements are, I needed something else. The many positive reviews sucked me into buying this accessory. Short story, it was worth every penny. The battery life on this controller is amazing! The controls are smooth and ergonomic. Could play for hours non-stop with no strain and still be wondering when would I need to charge this?

    JoyCons would be great... if they didn’t drift. Thankfully, this controller doesn’t drift and is not only more comfortable, but has every feature joycons have.

    It is a bit expensive but I believe Nintendo justifies it with the amazing battery life and great ergonomics and buttons. 10/10 not as fatiguing as the joycons for me

    These controllers are really great. We got 3 of them to supplement the joy cons that come with the Switch console, and now 4 of us can comfortably race each other in Mario Kart or all 5 of us can have a rousing game of Super Smash Bros. (by splitting the original joy cons into 2 controllers). I can't say enough about the quality and ease-of-use. Very little hand fatigue, and the wireless interface with the console is really impressive. I haven't had a videogame console since the original NES, so I can't speak to the competition, but these controllers do not disappoint!

    Amazing controller. Unlike many of the other brands of controllers such as PowerA, this controller feels like what you pay for. It is made with a durable plastic and has some weight behind it for comfort. I’ve tried some of the other controllers (namely the PowerA controllers) but they just feel cheap and flimsy despite costing $55. The analog sticks are made of a nice rubber and are enjoyable to hold. This controller reminds me of an Xbox on controller- so if you like those, you’ll like this!

    The pro controller feels solid and the grip is natural. The battery will last for weeks with a single charge I'm not lying here! The quality of control it's great! the price is high but it's worth it.

    Where to even start with this controller. I still think the price is stupid steep but now that I have it I would pay twice that to have this! It is leaps and bounds better than the Xbox Elite controller.

    Excellent Controller Option for Switch

    This controller is just absolutely fantastic. The Joycons that come with the system are really nice and work well, but doesn't feel quite as you would expect a modern game controller to do. This does. It feels great and comfortable in the hand, and what's more, Nintendo has corrected what I feel is a design oversight with their "Pro" Controller for the Wii U. The sticks are now in the same orientation they would be on an Xbox Controller (for example) with the right stick being lower and the buttons being higher. This was flipped on the Wii U and I honestly didn't like the ergonomics of it. This however is perfect and I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants some more precision in their gaming.

    Great controller. Very similar to xbox controllers. Good build quality and a must have for the switch. Kinda pricey but hey thats Nintendo. Try to get it on sale if you can you won't regret it.

    Must for TV gaming with Switch

    This is the answer for the provided adapter of that the two Joycons can snap into to make a whole controller. The feel of the controller is similar to an Xbox One controller, although much lighter. Battery life is good and it stays connected to the Switch well, even through walls as I have a hidden setup. Also, once your TV/AV receiver is powered up the Switch will power on just by hitting the Home button on the controller once it has been paired. Only down side is that it uses the new USB C port (same as the Switch itself, which they provide when you buy the controller) for charging. So getting additional charging cables or replacing one if it goes bad is a bit of a pain as they are hard to find at the moment.

    I normally buy off brand controllers, but this was definitely worth paying a bit extra. I've been needing something wireless to play on my switch as an extra controller, but I didn't want to just get another set of joy-cons, and I couldn't justify buying any of the off brands for their price, so I figured I'd go a bit extra and get the pro controller. It fits in the hands quite nicely, and since it's an official controller, it supports the HD rumble (which I've been enjoying), among all the other features on the joycons. I would defs recommend it if you're willing to pay the price for it. Probs would be best saved for a special event though.
