    Bought a Switch console. Found the original controller tired my hands after some time. Bought a couple of hardwired controllers for guests. Prefered the feel of the bigger controllers. Not so fond of the hardwire for regular use so I purchased this wireless one. Only issue is sometimes it pulls to one side when playing. Have heard that it may be interference from my other wireless devices in close perimeter. Relocated away wireless router, appears to have improved

    This controller is our primary switch controller for most of our games. Ergonomics are on point. The layout feels great and is super comfortable. No complaints on battery life. Price is a bit high but you get the tilt controls and amibo support. This controller is designed with serviceability in mind and in case something needs to be swapped out, this is by far the most intuitive disassembly/assembly. Well done Nintendo!

    A must-have for the switch

    If you are going to play any type of action / adventure like Zelda or Bayonetta, even 1 V 1 fighting games this is a must have instead of using the joy-con &/or joy-con joystick substitute. It feels great in your hand, very responsive and if you play the Xbox One the controller has a familiar feeling the only difference are the obvious camera / home screen buttons and the abxy buttons are in reverse. Is easy to adjust even for a casual gamer.

    This controller is a massive improvement from the Joy-Con controllers. The button/stick layout feels more natural, and the grips are much more comfortable. My only gripe is that the controller is a little overpriced.

    What's the #1 thing you look for when buying a controller? The fact that it works, but after that you need built quality of which this Nintendo Pro Controller has enough to spare. Unlike my XboxOneS controller that I use, this Pro Controller has ZERO flex or creak when you try to twist it in your hands. It feels great and everything just works... It may be expensive, but you can rest assured that your money when towards some great motion sensors and built quality.

    My son stands no chance against me when I use this controller against him in smash. I was scared he would beat me, but then i got the pro controller and dunk on him continually.

    I prefer a controller to the joy con adapter/controller. The + & - buttons are easier to access on this controller, in my opinion, AND you use these buttons a lot it Breath of the Wild. That being said, I will point out that the controller is comfortable & has worked very well with my system and has held a charge for quite some time. Now, the negative: the button configuration is the exact opposite of the Xbox controller. Nintendo may have a reason for doing this, but it is extremely annoying for someone who plays both systems. You may want to consider this before purchasing because I play Zelda a lot & when I go back to my Xbox I find myself hitting the wrong button all the time. For this reason, I give the controller a mediocre rating...that & the expensive price tag.

    I play my Switch on my television most of the time. So instead of using the joycons I got this pro controller. The battery life is great on the pro controller. The controls are spot on with the pro controller too. It comes with rumble, amiibo support, 80 hour battery life, and motion controls too. This is the best controller for the Switch if you play on your television.

    Bought the controller because the switch oled cramps my hands after long sessions and hinders me in some games because of the small buttons. But this controller pretty much solves all my issues, idk why its called a pro controller and it’s pretty standard, usually pro controllers have extra features or at least extra buttons or paddles but its a good purchase although if it breaks I will probably replace it with a different controller that has more features and at a lower price
