Great wireless remote control for the Nintendo switch. Fits great in my hand and has excellent battery life.

If you own a Nintendo Switch and play in Tabletop or Docked modes you MUST have this controller. This is my second Pro Controller...loved the first one and picked up a spare when they were on sale for Christmas. So much more comfortable to hold than the joy-cons. Supports vibration/rumble and has an NFC reader built-in for your Amiibo collection. Much longer battery life than the joy-con (roughly double, manufacturer claims 40 hrs). Can also function as a wired controller via USB if your low-battery warning comes on...just be aware the NFC/Amiibo support is lost when tethered. Only con is there are some games which don’t support the Pro Controller (e.g. Mario Party).

very nice accessorybfor nintendo swith. very durable and light weight. highly recommended.

I purchased the switch pro controller mostly for when friends/family wanna play games on my switch, it's similar to an xbox one/360 controller which alot of people are used to so that's a good thing. The grip handles, battery and build quality seem great, something you can always expect from nintendo. I personally haven't used the controller much only because i like the joy cons. Alot of people aren't used to the joy cons tho, i want friends/family to play with comfortable controller's when we game together and so far everyone says the pro controller is great. It's a little pricey for a controller but i think the built in NFC and HD rumble more than make up for that, bottom line it's a great controller and i will definitely be buying a few more soon.

If you are at all interested in serious gaming on the Switch, the Pro Controller is an absolute necessity. A sturdy (if boring) build, long lasting (but not as long as the Wii U Pro Controller) battery, and a comfortable hold in most hands makes long gameplay sessions with games like Breath of the Wild or Metroid Dread enjoyable. It's not a great deal at its non-sale price (especially if you own a PS4/5 or Xbox), but if you can find it on sale at certain points of the year, make sure to snatch one of these up ASAP if you haven't already.

Turns out to be easier on my hands than the joy-cons + grip. However, I'm not a complete fan of where the Plus/Minus buttons are in relation to the Home and Capture ones: I keep hitting the Capture button when I meant to press Minus. I also hate how the connected D-pad means that sometimes means an attempt to move a selection left instead moves it up. No drift yet.

If you have a Nintendo Switch and are used to controllers like the Playstation or XBox, then you need to buy this controller. Obviously there are some games that you'll need the Joy-Con's for, but for solo playing, FPS games, Zelda, Mario, etc., it's a must have. It is fully motion enabled, has built in haptic feedback (rumbles, feel explosions, etc.), it has substantial weight that makes it feel really solid in your hands. And of course it feels like a real controller. No matter how I try I just can't "believe" in those tiny Joy-Con controllers. They feel rinky-dink and fake to me. Don't hesitate, buy this if you are a serious gamer.

Great controller that feels good to hold and use. It is incompatible with some games, but that's because of the games themselves, not an issue with the controller. It's easy to pair with the switch and stays paired until swapped to another device with no disconnecting issues. The battery lasts a long time, too. 5 stars.

It may be pricey but I'm glad I got this controller. First and most importantly the ergonomics are so much better than just the standard joy cons that come rush the switch. I can play much longer using this controller because of the design. It's great quality and you don't have to worry about the joy cons starting to drift. They battery life is outstanding. It says 20 hours in each charge. I believe it because I usually charge it every one to two weeks. It's easy to set up to the switch. Just been to press the sync button on top and the Switch walks you through the rest. Expensive but worth it.

It's a great product. Performs well and has great battery life. I love using the Pro Controller more than the Joy-Cons for my Switch because it feels like a video game controller that I'm used to using. My only complaint is that $69.99 is A LOT for a controller that does the same thing that two Joy-Cons do and isn't supported by several games. Best Buy's online price of $56.99 is what made me even consider purchasing.

Love the ease of use(its a nintendo product!).. the controller is grippy and fits my hands nice. LONG battery life..been playing red dead with it and love it but it is expensive for a switch controller

the best gaming controller out there, however I wish they would update the sticks. feels awesome in the hands. I use Large sized hand gloves.

Right now this is the best controller on the Nintendo Switch. Period. End of story. If you're looking for a controller, you can stop your search here. It's also the best controller that Nintendo has produced since the SNES. It's exceptionally comfortable, has tremendously good battery life and works natively with the PC. But it's got a few problems: firstly, no headset jack. That's a real shame, the console itself has one, so why doesn't the Pro Controller? Also, it's really too bad they went with digital triggers instead of analog triggers, I suspect that will hurt future third party titles, racing games and first person shooters especially will play worse on this controller than on the XB1's for example. Those complaints aside, this is a terrific controller.

This controller is a much better quality than the other Switch alternatives out there. The batter life is great, the rumble is awesome, and it feels good in the hands. The Switch joy-cons don't compare to this one. Likes: Quality; color; rumble; battery life; USB-C charging Dislikes: Maybe offer some other color options? Oh, by the way: A year later and this thing is working like it did on day one. I haven't had any issues with this controller. If you feel like you might have issues down the road, buy the geek squad protection plan, I have used those in the past and they have come in handy!

This controller is 100% worth it. After using the Joy-Cons for a while, switching to the Pro Controller feels like a massive upgrade. The build quality is excellent, it feels solid in your hands, and the buttons and sticks are extremely responsive.

The joy cons are nice and all but a little small when Dad wants to play. I have an Xbox 360 and a PS4 dual shock and this is by far my favorite controller of the 3. Good size and weight. Very comfortable.

Holds a nice charge, perfect size to hold and a good weight. Doesn't feel cheap like other controllers do. Overall this is my favorite controller for my switch.

I love this controller. it feels nice in my hands. I love the thumbsticks, they feel like the PS4 controller's. my only negative is the price but when it has such a lomg battery life, I think it's okay

Bought this for when I had my Switch docked and am playing for a while. It is a lot more comfortable then the joy cons. Price is a little much, but it's by far the best controller you can get for the Switch.

If you don't like the joycons, then the pro controller is the thing to get. The build quality is very solid, and this has an excellent battery life (at least compared to how long my PS4 controllers last). All the buttons feel great (especially the d-pad), and I've never experienced any issues. My only criticism is the controller is kind of pricey, and there are not that many special editions released for it.
