    It's overall an outstanding controller. It's extremely comfortable and responsive; however, the d-pads often have problems. I have two of these, and you have to fix the d-pad from making incorrect inputs by taking apart the controller and adding some tape to the pivot. Nintendo has to fix this.

    After playing the switch with the joycon attached to the screen my hands would go numb within 20 minutes. I switched the joy cons to the included controller dock, but the controller just didn't feel normal. I purchased this pro controller and so far am quite happy. I played for roughly 30-40 minutes yesterday and my hands weren't aching from the poorly designed controller/joycon and I could have played much longer. I would highly advise any adult suffering from aches/pains while playing with the joycon to check this out.

    The form factor is more comfortable and familiar to me than the joycons (which, especially when used individually, feel small in my hands). In my opinion, this is a must buy for the Switch. The controller is well constructed, and it doesn't feel cheap. It has an NFC reader so if you want to interact with an amiibo it's simple. Nintendo says the battery can last up to 40 hours depending on what it's being used with - I haven't tested that, but haven't had any issues with the battery during extended play sessions.

    I love this controller. For splatoon and monster hunter especially, it works extremely well and comfortably. However, for d-pad heavy games like puyo puyo Tetris, the d-pad issues make it almost unplayable, as you will find yourself frequently hard dropping pieces in places they don't belong, costing you games.

    I am a day one Switch owner and avoided the pro controller all this time. Since I predominantly play in handheld mode I didn’t think this was necessary and when I played in docked mode I thought the joycons were good enough. I finally decided to get the pro controller because my friends kept telling me I was missing out and they were right. Now I actually enjoy docked mode much more than I used to. A great, sturdy controller which enhances the gaming for sure.

    If you're gonna be playing on the TV with your switch this is almost a must have. Controller feels great in the hand, all the buttons have a nice feel, especially the D-pad which may be my favorite I've used. Price is the only downside at 70 bucks, but it does pack some nice tech in there like HD rumble, and an amiibo reader. You also can't beat the 40 hour rated battery life, as well as the included high quality USB-c to USB-a cable. Going to be getting at least one more once Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out for some good multiplayer.

    I'm used to paying $20-$35 for controllers. This is $70 which is hefty. Outside of that the left joy and the right joy are just a quarter inch too high. I like it slightly lower for more control over the movements. But outside of those two complaints, everything else about the controller is awesome! Very accurate controls and the batter lasts forever. I like the look and the feel as well. Had no problems with my Switch detecting it as well.

    Nintendo Switch Staple

    While the default joycon is a great controller, the Pro Wireless Controller is simply a must own for anyone used to playing on the other consoles (PS4 and XboxOne). This controller is closer to the Xbox in terms of ergonomics, but for anyone with adult hands, it's an essential peripheral if you don't want to suffer from arthritis trying to make the most out of the tiny switch joycon controller. Battery life is right there with the other wireless console controllers as well, if not better.

    Probably the best controller for the Nintendo Switch. Great for kids because of the smaller foot print but it is not a disadvantage for adults either. Buttons are very responsive, as well as the joysticks. Battery life is amazing. Anyone buying this controller won't regret it.
