    This controller is sized well for adult hands. It’s comfortable to hold and use, and the buttons and sticks feel good to use—very responsive. Solid construction. Happy with the purchase overall, however I wish the price were a bit more competitive.

    From the feel and comfort of this controller to the amazing battery life, this controller simply the best gaming controller I've ever had! It has a nice weight to it and feels every bit go the high price you have to pay to obtain it. Yes that price is pretty steep but it gives you so much play time on a single charge! 45-55 hours! Really glad I picked this one up!

    This controller is the most comfortable gaming controller I've ever held. Far more comfortable than the things that come in the switch box. Battery lasts a respectable long time. The price is a bit much. But it is worth it if you play a long time in one session. Especially for a game like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    When I started experiencing the dreaded drift I bought a third party controller. We eventually upgraded to the Pro Controller and it's so much more comfortable to use then the drifting Joy Cons (my wrists especially feel better) and a smoother experience then the third party controllers.

    I pre-ordered this Switch Pro controller because of reviews of the Zelda game, saying this was the best controller to play that title. I have to agree! While the joy-cons work great with the Switch in handheld mode, I didn't care for the way the joy-cons feel in the included grip, so I could play Zelda on my TV. As far as I can tell, the Pro controller has most (if not all) of the same features as the joy-cons, including gyroscope, NFC reader for Amiibo, etc. Pro controller is listed to have 40 hours of play before needing to be recharged. I'm not sure how that compares to joy-cons, but I know it is more time. Pro controller automatically synced to my Switch the moment I plugged in the USB-C cord (included with the controller) to the Switch dock and then to my controller. I've lost no wireless connections between the pro controller and the Switch at all when playing Zelda. I highly recommend this accessory. It is pricey, but not a waste of money!

    Got this for playing the Switch in docked mode since the joycons kind of bother my wrists. The Pro controller is super comfortable, like a slightly smaller XBox One pad. The battery life is excellent, I was able to go 2 weeks before having to plug it in. It also includes rumble, motion sensors, and an amiibo reader. Expensive, but worth it in the end.

    The included Switch controllers are nice but They are somewhat small and thin. if you are used to Xbox or Playstation controllers then this Pro controller is for you. I prefer this Pro controller for the size, feel, and quality. It also connects quickly and responds perfectly during gameplay. Game on...

    It's a real shame that Nintendo doesn't include this controller in the box, it's fantastic. Aside from its great battery life and comfortable design, the only negative thing about this controller is the price. Try and wait for a sale to snag one. It makes playing games on the switch a much more console-like and enjoyable experience.

    It feels comfortable to hold. The charge lasts a long time. I have large hands so this feels better than the small controllers that come with the system. I think it will last longer than the original controllers will also. And it costs less than the original controllers.

    Very nice!! A well made controller that you do not want to put down. The size/feel is so much better than the joy-con or dual joy-con setup, and so far it does not slip out of my kids hands like with other controllers... I can't wait to blow his mind with the amiibo support.

    I don't consider myself an expert on wireless controller but this one is everything I need. The grip is comfortable, the battery life lasts a LONG time, and the darn thing works. I can't tell you how many controllers I've had that got maybe 3 or 4 uses and something went wrong. this things feels durable and has a nice weight to it.

    I know its a little pricey but this is one fine controller for the Switch. Perfect balance, perfect size and weight, perfect stick and button placement and feel and it has a ridiculously long play time of up to 40hrs. Also supports HD rumble, motion and Amiibo scanning........if you want a great traditional dual stick for your Switch...this is it.

    I recently purchased the Pro Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch from BestBuy, and I must say it has been a fantastic addition to my gaming experience. This controller offers a level of comfort and functionality that surpasses the Joy-Con controllers that come with the Switch. First and foremost, the build quality of the Pro Wireless Controller is excellent. It feels sturdy and well-made, which gives me confidence that it will last for a long time. The ergonomics of the controller are also worth mentioning. The grip is comfortable, and the button placement feels natural. It fits perfectly in my hands, even during extended gaming sessions, and doesn't cause any discomfort or hand fatigue. One of the standout features of this controller is the wireless connectivity. The Bluetooth connection is strong and reliable, allowing me to play games without any lag or input delay. Pairing the controller with my Nintendo Switch was a breeze, and I appreciate the hassle-free setup process. The Pro Wireless Controller also boasts an impressive battery life. I can play for hours on end without needing to recharge it. This is especially beneficial for long gaming sessions or when I'm on the go and don't have access to a power source. The USB-C charging port is conveniently located at the top of the controller, making it easy to plug in and charge when needed. In terms of performance, the Pro Wireless Controller delivers excellent responsiveness and precision. The buttons are responsive, and the analog sticks provide smooth and accurate movement. The controller also features motion controls, which work flawlessly and add an extra level of immersion to certain games. Furthermore, the Pro Wireless Controller offers additional features that enhance the gaming experience. It includes a built-in gyroscope, HD rumble, and amiibo functionality. These features add depth and immersion to compatible games, allowing me to feel more connected to the gameplay. The only minor drawback I found with this controller is the lack of NFC support for scanning Amiibo. It would have been nice to have that functionality built into the controller, as it eliminates the need to switch to the Joy-Con controllers when using Amiibo. However, this is a minor inconvenience and doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Pro Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch from BestBuy. It offers exceptional build quality, comfortable ergonomics, reliable wireless connectivity, and impressive battery life. With its responsive controls and additional features, it enhances the gaming experience and provides a viable alternative to the default Joy-Con controllers. If you're looking to elevate your Nintendo Switch gaming experience, this controller is definitely worth considering.

    I've had my switch for almost two years. Ever since purchasing this controller and using it for my switch I've logged more playtime on the Switch in the past two weeks than I have all year in total. This controller is THE TRUTH. Yes, I know the price is steep believe me. I live very comfortably and make very good money and still I was hesitant on this purchase. It took one of my friends to finally convince me to purchase this controller and sure enough he was right (He only plays PC and Switch). This controller is a game changer. If you can stomach the cost then you will be more than happy with this controller. Literally changes the switch in an awesome way! Plus, now my big hands don't hurt when I'm getting my Switch on for literal hours on end at times. This controller + Pokemon Unite Ranked. GG2EZ WORTH IT!

    If you can get this controller on sale, it is a definite must have for every switch owner. Aside from the mediocre D-pad, this controller is packed with features no third party controller can compare to (NFC, HD Rumble, wireless, etc). This is also probably one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used.

    Great controller but expensive

    I was worried that Nintendo wouldn't put much thought or effort into the design since they don't want to make traditional controllers any more, even though every other controller today is just a modified Super NES controller. It's much more comfortable than the joy-con in the comfort grip. As much as I love and support Nintendo's innovation, sometimes it's just nice to use a more traditional controller, particularly when playing a game that has no need for unconventional control schemes. It's easier to pick this up and start playing in docked mode than to detach the joy-con from the Switch and put them in the comfort grip. This allows you to leave the joy-con attached, so they'll always be charged up if you want to play undocked or need a second controller for multiplayer. The texture on the handle grips is a nice touch. It's great having a real D-pad. The only downside is that this thing hardly goes on sale. Retail price is ridiculous as with all other pricing for Switch related accessories. I found this for twenty bucks off and piled on a reward certificate and gift card to bring the price way down.

    My son loves this product. He says the grip and the joysticks feel great and he loves the design. When he charged it he said it was quick and that the battery charge lasted for a long time. 2 months of usage and it feels like brand new. From the grip to the battery charge, this really is a great product. I definetely recommend this. The right price for this controller should be $35-$40
