    Must have for smash bros. A little pricey but if you can get this remote on sale it's a must own. Comfortable and the battery last hours and hours.

    This controller works great and is much more comfortable to use than the joy cons. Also the battery lasts a really long time on a full charge.

    Wish it wasn't $60 but I won't play with anything else. Not having to buy batteries makes up for some of the cost but over all just a great controller

    Feels way better than the joy cons. I have large man hands and need a bit more to hold. This relieves all of the cramped playing. Leave the joy cons for guests

    Quite honestly, the most comfortable controller I've ever held in my life. Not even the SNES and Gamecube controllers were this good. I've had my Pro-Controller since near Launch day for the Switch. That's 5 and a half years. No problems with the controller yet. Keep in mind, I bought this controller in February this year. I've still got my first Pro-Controller that I'm using.

    I use this to play battle my son in his super smash bros game. I was hoping this would give me an unfair advantage. He still beats me, but not quite as bad. Maybe its his youth and my slow reflexes. I still just hit buttons like mad not really knowing what they do. I"m sure someone with a little skill and knowledge would love this. It vibrates nicely and the battery life is good.

    Perspective on the pro controller

    A good controller nonetheless, it definitely feels like and has the layout of an Xbox controller and feels good in the hands. The flaws I’d say are the mushy buttons (X,Y,A,B). They just don’t have enough click or spring to it which is a bit unfortunate considering the pricing. I was iffy on the trigger and L/R button because of the low travel but over time they are quite nice. The battery life on it is very good since I’ve had it I have only charged it maybe 2-3 times.

    This is one of the best controllers I've ever used. It's very comfortable in my hands and has good weight to it. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth every penny.

    The Switch Pro controller is almost everything I look for in a controller: Feels great, can take a slight beating, and buttons/joysticks are responsive. My only complaint is that I'm not fond of how the D-Pad feels, however since I tend to only use this on side-scrolling games it's definitely not a deal breaker. As of posting this review, the Switch Pro controller is my main controller for not only the Switch, but for PC games as well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a controller for the Switch!

    Internal battery from the 3ds makes it so you can literally play for days without charging. Super comfortable in the hands!

    Really solid controller

    I really love the Pro Controller. I have the Pro Controller for the Wii U, and it's kind of a bummer Nintendo didn't allow it to work on the Switch, but since I prefer a more traditional control style and both my wife and I have issues with our hands at times, this controller was essential. It is a bit expensive, but when you consider that PS4 and Xbox One have controllers that cost around $64.99, it's not too bad. Hopefully they'll come down in price at some point as I'd like to get a second one. It's a really well-built controller and the buttons feel really nice. They have a good stiffness but they aren't too stiff. The joysticks are nicer than the ones on the standard Joy-Cons and the controller feels really good when holding it. It's also really sturdy and you can tell it was built with kids in mind, which is a good thing. The cord is a bit short and since it plugs into the dock to charge, it's almost impossible to play wired because it can be really easy to pull the entire dock and system off the entertainment center if you're not careful. I recommend playing with it wireless and letting it charge when not playing. Overall, if you want a more traditional play-style, I'd say make the investment and get this controller. It's worth it!

    Having large hands make it annoying to use the normal Switch JoyCons. An actual controller like this make playing games on the Switch something I can do for prolonged periods.
