Customer Ratings & Reviews

Literally everything about this controller is great especially the battery life. The one complaint is that the Dpad isn't up to par as they used to be. Trying to play Tetris, the up, on the dpad will sometimes trigger when I'm just trying to move the piece to the right. This is a GREAT game pad for anything that isn't dpad sensitive though

This is one of the best controllers you can get for the switch. Battery life is phenomenal, you can wake up the console with the home button. What I don't like about it is the d-pad is trash. Horribly inconsistent with inputs. If you can overlook the mediocre d-pad though, it's otherwise a great controller.

Probably the best video game controller I've ever had. One charge seems to last forever and it's super comfortable.

If you plan on playing your Switch in tv mode, the pro controller is a must. Solid feel and outstanding battery life. Wish my PS4 controllers lasted this long!

I've owned every standard controller that Nintendo has ever made, with my previous favorite being the Wii U Pro controller. Despite how bulky it looks, the Switch Pro controller is the most comfortable controller Nintendo has ever made. The buttons are larger than the buttons on the Joy Cons, and the + and - buttons are standard round buttons, not the shaped ones as on the Joy Cons. The Pro controller has more standard, slightly larger analog sticks, and the shoulder buttons are fairly large with a very tactile click when pressed. It even has NFC and motion controls, as the Joy Cons do. The only downside to the Pro controller? The D-pad isn't very good. It's fairly mushy, and it's difficult to switch between directions on it without also accidentally pressing the wrong direction in-between. While playing NES Zelda with it, Link would often undershoot or overshoot doorways in dungeons because of the D-pad sending the wrong direction while trying to get into the doorway. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a primary controller for NES gaming. However, for most Switch software, it's highly recommended.

Pro controller better than the stock one that came with xbox. Seem to last longer too

A must have if you are playing at home. Easy to use, durable for kids. Love that it’s cordless! Great buy

It has a decent grip, can last for a couple days without charging, and feels easier than the joycons. I always prefer this over the joy-cons.

I had heard time and time again that this controller is the best way to play. I had my Switch for a little under two years and felt that the Joy-Cons were more than enough until I finally decided to buy this and my only regret was not buying it sooner. The comfort of this control over the Joy-Cons is worlds apart. I've used third-party controllers but the gyro and HD Rumble on the Pro Controller are simply much better. The build quality to me seems very good to me. I just wish they made more color options available.

If you are looking for the best controller for the switch look no further. The controller may be expensive, but the charge is great and it feels outstanding.

Comfortable in hand. Connects relatively easy. Battery lasts a long time.

I bought this because I have giant hands and the joy cons are too small. This has a great weight to it, its big and feels good in your hands

This controller is great for playing games on the Switch. Good feel, sturdy, easy to sync, and holds its charge for quite a long time.

This is an awesome controller. Fits all hand sizes. My son loves that it doesn’t have to have a wire connected to it and is easy to charge.

Don't get me wrong...the Switch controller is fine! But when it comes to fighting games or movement intensive games, the Pro controller is a must have. Maybe not for advantage, but for comfort and that familiar controller feel. Controller response is great!

the pro wireless controller gives you a better feel than the joy cons, good battery life and works with amiibos. would buy again!

Great feel and i like the vibration. The charge lasts a long time. I wish it came in different colors and a little pricey $$$$.

Probably the best controller yet for the Nintendo Switch! Very comfortable! It has grip and buttons are big!

My son and me love this controller. It’s really strong and it’s the best option for Nintendo.

Joycons are notorious for analog drift, and just because you haven’t experienced it yet, don’t think you won’t. This is a solidly built controller. I’ve been gaming since the NES days, and I’ve always purchased upgraded first-party controllers, from the NES Advantage to the XBox Elite controller, and while this isn’t on the level of the Elite, it’s among the best available for the Switch. It’s just a bit pricey, but don’t underestimate the reliability of this first-party option.
