    Really good Controller

    This controller is awesome and perfect for switch. However it will take a little bit of time to remember the controls coming off of the Joy-Cons. Be wary however as my controller can with a slight Drift. Not Best Buy’s fault but likely the manufacturer as there not too much padding inside the controller box to keep it together

    I have to say I underestimated this controller but it feels just like the Xbox and PlayStation, In my opinion everyone should have a Pro Controller if they own a switch.

    What can I say, It's super comfortable. It has everything the joycons have, (hd rumble,motion, etc...) The battery is great, I beat Zelda with a single charge... definitely worth the 70 bucks.

    Absolutely essential controller for hours of comfortable and seamless gaming. A bit steep on the price tag but everyone needs at least one of these.

    I love the pro controller I used it for countless of hours playing Zelda BOTW without having to charge it. I personally prefer this controller over the joycons for longer gameplay sessions.

    I was jamming the A button on my Joy Con to blast my way through the Animal Crossing dialogues, and I was wearing it down. Then I bought this bad boy. It took a little getting used to, but it feels very comfortable, and most importantly, rock solid. I feel like I could mash this A button all day going through Orville's dialogue prompts and not have any problems for 10 years. I also plugged this into my PC, and Steam recognizes it immediately, wired or bluetooth. I even set up motion control aiming for when I hold the ZL button! I'm an amiibo nut so this was perfect.

    The feel and comfort alone of the controller is enough to rate an easy 5! Connectivity and battery is a plus, and so is the function as well! Really no complains at all tbh!

    I’ve tried a few controller combinations with Switch over the years since launch and felt that nothing on the market could top separate joy-cons with motion controls, but I stand corrected. The Pro Controller is perfectly ergonomic and responsive. It charges easily with a USB-c/Nintendo Switch charger port and works in both docked and portable. Because I tend to play portably, I thought it would add unnecessary bulk to my bag, but it was worth it for the comfort, if nothing else. If you play Nintendo Switch and haven’t used a Pro Controller, try one out ASAP!

    While these are a little on the pricey side, these are really great controllers. Especially playing games that require the traditional controllers such as Super Smash Bros.

    I purchased this controller due to playing the game Hades on my son's Switch. That game is amazing but punishing on controllers and your thumbs. I felt bad for both my thumbs and my sons' joycon controllers, so I shelled out the cash for the expensive pro controller. I think I made a good choice. The controller is well made and comfortable to use during frantic and repeated button inputs. I was worried when I saw how the buttons are a bit larger but they're actually really comfortable. I am also happy with the battery life so far.

    If your hands are too big for the joycons, than the pro controller is a must. Upon the first 10 minutes of me of me using the switch with the joycons I began to get slight fatigue in my hands which made the decision for the pro controller much more easier. The pro controller has made the switch experience much better know because I can game for hours now without dealing with hand cramps. In addition, some switch users will find that the pro controller will be idea for more serious game play moments such as drifting and fighting game combos to name a few!

    The Nintendo Pro Controller is SOOOO much better than the joycons or the (slightly) cheaper non-Nintendo brand wireless controllers. I have had my switch since it was first released. I’ve used the joycons and the knock-off wireless controllers this whole time. I was tired of always buying batteries (or losing my rechargeable ones) for the controller, so I finally broke down and bought this one. It is AMAZING. It syncs perfectly, there is no lagging. The joysticks don’t get stuck like with the joycons. Best purchase.

    Everything you've heard about the Pro controller is true. It's an excellent, heavy, solid controller. Easily a 5 star product except for the price...even with the normal Nintendo accessory gouging the cost of $70 is still extra steep. Otherwise it's the best Nintendo controller since the Wavebird and holds a charge for days. My battery meter didn't even go down after playing 8 hours straight.
