Customer Ratings & Reviews

A must-have for any serious Switch game play. Probably the best d-pad compared to current consoles (re: PS4 and Xbox1). Decent weight, feels good in hand. Battery holds charge well, can get more hours than a non-docked Switch. Rumble is weak. PS4 controller is superior, but about equal with Xbox1 controller. Is overpriced though!

A must have for any Switch owner. This controller is comfortable, responsive, and lasts forever when charged fully. Must own!

Best controller out there. Pricy but not worth going cheap. Try to grab on sale or with points.

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.

It feels great to hold, and I have no complaints. It's responsive and accurate. Battery seems fairly long lasting.

This pro controller has a great feel and amazing battery life. Would recommend to a friend , a must buy for any switch owner

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.

I've been a Nintendo fan for many years and they have never disappointed with controllers, especially this one. What makes this such an amazing controller is it's an original Nintendo product, not a 3rd party product. My only complaint is the price. Other console's controllers top off at $60 so paying more than that is a little extreme and hope Nintendo drops the prices. A controller shouldn't cost more than a game.

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.

The Switch pro controller is far superior to joy cons because of how comfortable the grip is, and how long the battery lasts

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.

Without a doubt, this is the best controller to use for the Nintendo Switch. I’ve been enjoying playing games using the Pro Controller.

Totally worth it. Rechargeable, NFC and high quality. Buttons and sticks feels firm and accurate.

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.

Best controller for the switch. Easy to use and very durable

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.

It feels very nice to use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers on some compatible Nintendo Switch games like Dragon Quest Eleven, Mario Kart Eight Deluxe, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Splatoon Two, Zelda Breath Of The Wild, etc.. I sometimes alternate between using the Nintendo Switch L/R JoyCons and the Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. Either way, I guess/think using either of them provides great gaming experiences on the Nintendo Switch!!

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.

Great game controller. Feels great and great action. Very good quality and worth the money!
