Customer Ratings & Reviews

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..

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.

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.

Controllers work so well. Home button just turns on the Switch from sleep mode so quickly. Buttons are responsive and have no issues. Grip is perfect and so much better than the joy-con controller that comes with the Switch. Excellent response time, no input lag whatsoever. Doesn't take that long to charge, and battery life is exceptional. Reminds me of the Xbox one controller. If you have a Switch, you have to get this controller, especially if you play competitive multiplayer online.

Best controller money can buy! Highly recommend for gamers!

I have large hands and this controller was a must. The joy cons are not bad but this is probably the best controller I've ever owned. Great battery life and overall feel.

Very comfortable controllers. Fit very well in your hands, not to heavy, and hold a long charge. Highly recommend.

I was skeptic at first due to the high price for just this controller but I was delightfully surprised after using it. The grip of it feels amazing, despite the joycons already fitting my small hands the Pro Controller feels way better as it does give a more traditional gaming feel. The addition of the motion controls and the NFC reader may also probably explain the high price which makes this controller a hardware powerhouse. The addition of a traditional D-Pad is also a positive since the fighting games on the virtual console definitely benefits from it. I highly recommend anyone to grab this for their Switch

Good quality controller without stick drift, I recommend it because it feels much better than the joycons

This controller is streets ahead of the joycon controllers when they are in the controller grip. The pro controller is more comfortable than it looks and has a good weight to it. Not quite as comfortable as an xbox elite controller, but more comfortable than ps4 controllers. It is a must for long gaming sessions with the switch docked to a tv.

Connected quickly (plug it into the dock, and then disconnect after it registers). Great battery life (got about 5 hours of gaming out of it before it started complaining). Better than 3rd party and wired controllers - so worth the premium price.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is so great! If you want to be more pro at multiplayer games, or just feel comfortable playing any game, get this controller. Control sticks are bigger and allow more control of movement. Buttons are bigger and more mushy. D-Pad is pretty useful compared to the separate buttons on the Joy-Cons. Trigger buttons are mushy and comfortable to press. The grip is so ergonomic in my hands. Charging takes only a couple hours with an easy USB Type-C Cable. Finally, the controller lasts 40 hours. Don't wait if it's on sale for $50-$60!

This is the best controller for the Switch. It isn't cheap, but don't waste any time or money on another controller. It also will work on Switch 2! But as of now, I would get the Pro 2 controller if I was buying one for just Switch 2. Unless this controller goes on sale.

I enjoy that it maintains some level of motion control even just to wake the console from the power save mode. Bought it a few weeks ago and put it through the ringer with Bayonetta and Zelda. No lag, no loosening of the sticks. Way better made than most of the XBox controllers I’ve bought!!

The Pro Controller is a MUST for any Switch player. Stop using that horrible Joycon slide-in holder that comes with the console! This controller is wide enough to feel like your fingers are not going on top of each other but small enough to carry with you on a weekend trip. I have had this controller for almost a year now and I have yet to encounter any Joycon drift issue with the sticks. This is a high quality piece of hardware and is worth the price.

The look and feel of this controller is very premium and feels good in the hand. The feature that I did not expect is that I have logged around 60+ hours on Breath of the Wild and the controller still shows as being charged somewhere up in the 80% range, which is incredible. Whatever technical sorcery allows this should be integrated into other premium controllers like those offered by Microsoft, Razer, etc.

This is exactly what I needed for my Switch! The Joy-cons are a cute gimmicky control scheme but this pro-controller is just better suited for most games. If you are used to using Playstation/Xbox controllers this will definitely feel more natural to you. Also great for people with medium-large sized hands (I always feel like Joycons are so small for my hands). These hold a charge for a long time as well. Honestly these should’ve come with every Switch purchase.

I’ve owned a Switch for over a year now and didn’t think it was worth getting this controller. Boy was I wrong! I think this is a must have if you play any kind of action game. I started using this instead of the Joy Cons for Legend of Zelda: Age of Calamity, Mario 3D World, and even Mario Tennis. I can’t wait to try my other games out. I yet to run into any issues like the Joy Cons have been known for. I will update this review if anything comes up.

There is almost nothing this controller can't do. First of all, its battery life is amaaazing. I can play games with this thing for a full day without ever having to worry about charging it. It has a USB-C port, so it's easy to find a lot of wires to charge this thing with. Also, the controller itself feel so comfortable to play with for long play sessions. The analog sticks and all the buttons feel just right when you start playing with them. This thing can pretty much do anything Joy-Cons can do (in terms of functionality) but better.

Great comfortable controller probably the best for the switch. I know there are many different kinds to choose from and while I don't like the high price battery life is amazing. It has HD rumble which is nice, and motion control all buttons feel great I would definitely recommend the pro controller over some of the power A controllers I have the nano which is also good but battery life not so much.
