Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have purchased after market controllers for Switch but there have been none better than the Pro Controller by Nintendo! This has smooth joycons, the buttons are very tactile, and the d-pad works even hitting the 45 degree’s for jumping while in motion.

Seriously, this is the only way to play games with your switch (obviously not Pokémon, but you know what I mean). Not getting hand cramps by playing with the joycons is so nice!

Great gift for the gamer! Everyone kept using mine so I gave the family their own this year. Easy to recharge and so much easier on my hands than using the small switch controller. No batteries required.

As you know the Switch comes with a single controller built for child. This control makes playing the Switch a better experience. Snappy buttons, well made and battery last me about 1 week before needing to recharge.

Excellent build quality, feels great and comfortable in your hand’s allowing you to have a gaming experience that’s pro level.

The included Joy-Cons that are shipped with Nintendo Switch are small and serve well when docked on the console or in the included handheld adapter. But this control serves much better on extended session on games such as the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Great controller. If you play on the TV with the switch docked this is the way to go. Still works with motion controls. Feels just like an Xbox one controller. So much that it's confusing when switching back and forth between Xbox and Switch.

Best controller that I have found for the switch, I just wish that it was a little cheaper.

An expensive but must have accessory for the switch. This is still a cheaper and better option than purchasing new joycons to have the familiar feel of a quality controller like other consoles.

once you start using this pro controller, you will never use joy-con. The grip is awesome with very long battery life - almost 15 hours I tested it.

Good battery life and traditional controller feel compared to the joycon controller.

Great controller. I love the offset anolog sticks made famous by xbox so im right at home with this. The only issue I have is the price but getting it on sale for $60 was worth it in my opinion.

This remote is great, easier to use than the standard controller, long battery life. Sometimes I play for days without recharging it. It hasn't died on me yet. I still can't tell how much power it has left in it but I've never needed to worry. Must buy!

The only bad thing about this controller is the dark gray they use on the buttons for the labels - this should have been black with the joy con neon colors - otherwise, battery life is great, comfortable, has a NFC reader, if you play on the TV, you must have this

For gamers with jumbo-sized hands like me this is the perfect accessory. Using the standard Joy-cons cramps my old-man hands within 20 min but playing games like Zelda or Mario with this allows much longer sessions.

Great OEM Controller. Makes extended playing easier and more comfortable. Worth it for long sessions and great as an extra controller to have around. Haven't tried any third-party controllers yet, but at least one of these needed to be added to my collection.

Excellent controller for Nintendo switch. Long battery life and works really well for pairing. Also works with steam and windows. A necessary accessory for all Switch owners.

If you own a switch and play it mostly on the docking station, do your hands a favor and get this. Worth the high price.

When compared to Joy-cons, the Pro Controller is definitely the better controller to use to play games that doesn't require motion control, such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Smash Bros. Feels great in hand and the battery life is superb.

If you don't already have a pro controller, do yourself a favor and pick this bad boy up. You can thank me later. Don't get me wrong, the Joy-Con are great and all, but the pro controller really is the best way to play the Switch and is worth the high price.
