Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using some third party switch controllers for a while and after the a button started to get sticky on one, I decided to go ahead and just buy Nintendo's switch pro controller. What can I say other than it's an amazing controller in just about every way. It's comfortable, responds well, sturdy and has a premium feel. I would have liked if the d-pad was more similar to the old school ones on the Super Nintendo, but it's still an above average d-pad so that's really just my subjective preference.

This controller is one of the best I have ever had from Nintendo. It's seriously a must for anyone who plays regularly, it fits the hands so much better and you won't get cramps from it like the basic unit that comes with the consoles where the Joycons slide into. It's a little expensive especially compared to how much Microsoft Xbox controllers or Sony Playstation controllers are.

The best controller to get for the switch. Not many brands have the rumble feature and feels as comfortable as this one. This is my second controller and would always recommend over any other 3rd party brands.

Love this item it’s sturdy durable and works great!

Great controller. This thing absolutely destroys using the joycons with that cheap plastic mold looking controller you get from the console packaging. Wish it was priced at $45-$50 though. It’s for a Nintendo Switch which is $300 console offering lower graphics & performance. No reason is should be so high in price. Get it open box and you’ll be just fine. Saves you $10. Get this for playing while docked. It makes Skyrim really enjoyable!

Very happy with this purchase, enjoy playing nintendo switch more than ever.

Feels really good in my hands. Long battery life. Very smooth and light weight, but not too light to make it feel cheap

The $10 price increase may be a tough pill to swallow vs standard XB or PS controllers, but this is a very good controller for Switch if you don't want to unplug the built-in joy-con's every single time you dock. It's more ergonomic than the Joy-Con's but the best parts is it has a built in battery with a long cord that attaches to the Switch Dock's USB ports for easy recharging - and - it has HD rumble functionality built in. That's the primary reason for the $10 upcharge imo, the HD rumble functionality, but it's a solid controller that sits just slightly under XB's Elite Controller in build quality and feature set.

Long life battery, very easy to set up, Vibrates! Which works for me! Nice grip, more comfortable than the original control. Has a long Bluetooth range.

Honestly the best way to game on the Switch! Super comfortable may be one of my favorite controler son any system. Only issue I have is price and I wish it had a headphone jack.

I started looking at the pro controller after the stock controllers kept losing their signal. When using the stock controllers I'd have to make sure there was a clear line of sight or else button presses would not register, something that became super annoying. The pro controller fixed all of that. I no longer have to worry about clear line of sight and I no longer experience interruptions in the signal. Plus, the pro controller is a lot more comfortable. The controller itself is charged via a USB-C cable and is said to hold a charge for 40 hours of gameplay.

Typically I am not a fan of wireless products, had a few run out of juice in bad times, however you can have this one plugged in a charging while playing so you have that flexible option. Controller is comfortable to hold if you plan on logging a few hours, if you’re an adult and tried playing the Switch as a handheld unit you’ll notice a big difference right away. I still prefer the button layout of the Game Cube style controller, but I am still happy with this wireless pro. With the multiplayer games available having extra controllers around I a great thing!

This is hands down the best controller for the switch. It may seems a bit pricey, but it is worth it. I waited to find it on sale. I love it! Highly recommend!!

Started playing the Switch again after buying this controller. Nice build qualtiy and connectivity has been perfect throughout. I would highly recommend this controller for the more traditional (older) gamer. Controller feels familiar.

Great controller. A bit expensive, but what are you going to do?

This controller is absolutely amazing! It charges over the included USB-C cable that can be connected to one of the two front facing USB ports on the switch dock or any other USB that powers the device according to the specifications. I haven't quite experienced the claimed "40 hour lifespan" that is advertised on the box but it is well over 30+ hours. If you prefer a traditional gamepad as opposed to the joycons I couldn't recommend this enough. It supports amiibo and features motion controls that can still be used in a range of games. Wonderful product!

For Zelda, this is necessary. The Joycons have nothing on this controller, I haven't touched the grip since I got the Switch pro controller at launch. The Switch Pro controller feels better in your hands than both the Xbox One and PS4s controllers. Gyro is incredibly responsive and the battery life is incredible compared to the competition. This is also the only console controller to have a USB C connection, which feels much more sturdy than the standard micro USB. 10/10 would buy again. My only complaint is the glossy plastic at the top because it scratches easily. It's very durable though, I've dropped it multiple times.

I had 1 of these and was really happy with it. Bullet-proof and near impossible to break (stepped on it 1x - and I'm NOT a lightweight..) Bought a second so that my wife can join in with the games I play with family, knowing it's better for her to have a full-size - even though I do have the regular Switch mini-controllers and the device that connects them into a single controller, these are better!

Love this controller i highly recommend. The switch itself gives my hand cramps and playing with joy cons ahh no... i mean unless i have to. Plus controller is comfortable wireless has where you can scan amiibos on it as well also the battery life is crazy good! Only complaint is it turns on if u hit any button which if u put into a bag etc is a pain. Only way to avoid is put switch into airplane mode i think someone said..

This controller is much more comfortable than the standard Switch joy cons. The wireless connectivity and battery life have been great. Only wish it was less expensive.
