Great controller for the Switch. Feels good in the hands, probably second favorite controller after DS4. Loooooong battery life. Is pricy but worth it.

While the controller is a little pricey it addresses the main complaints I have with Joy-Cons in general. Better ergonomics with a feel not unlike the Xbox One/360 controllers, MUCH better thumbsticks than Joy-Con, and excellent battery life. Seriously the upgraded thumbsticks alone are worth the upgrade IMO. Only improvements I think could have been made with this controller are the D-Pad, which feels kinda mushy in comparison with the Joy-Con buttons, and the size/grouping of the ABXY buttons which again lack the nice click of Joy-Con.

Excellent controller. It feels great in my hands, battery lasts a long time, and doesn’t feel cheap.

It's a good controller. I bought it for my wife to play Zelda because it was kind of a struggle to play with the two joy cons. I've never had any sort of lag or interference issues with it. It seems really expensive for what it is, and I haven't tried less expensive wireless controllers to see how they compare.

In terms of comfort, button placement, design, the way the sticks feel, and how satisfying it is to push any button with a nice "click" feeling, this is easily the second best controller ever made behind the Xbox One controller. It is SO comfortable and the battery lasts a REALLY long time and charges super fast thanks to USB C. Definitely beats every aspect of the very cheap feeling ps4 controller with terrible battery life. Although is it necessary if you just have the grip and joy cons? Not necessarily but it is definitely the best way to play your games.

This controller is much more comfortable than the one that comes with the console. I played for months with the joy-cons attached to the grip handle. But with games like Zelda I needed more than an hour to move fordward in the story, and the joy-cons started to feel very uncomfortable, So I upgraded to the Pro and it was a huge difference. Loved it. It took me a few days to get used to the new buttons setup, but it was worth it. No more cramped hands xD. I also think that the battery of this controller last longer than the joy-cons.

Upgraded from the old 1 and it’s great. Button response and battery life and far superior

Seems like a solid controller and I like the fact that the battery is built in. My only complaint is that it looks cheap and it is on the pricey side. Having said that, it doesn't feel cheap at all in that the buttons all seem solid and the controller itself has heft to it. It has also survived a fall with no scratches :)

This controller is so great! Feels great when holding it, I've always heard great things about this controller. Now I can see for myself what everyone has been talking about. Can't say enough good things about it.

Yes is better than the joycon, the stick will no drift, is more conforble and battery life is excellent!

This is the controller that should come with the switch. It works 100% better than the joy cons and I find it has a pretty good battery life. My kids have played on the switch for two or three days straight before needing to charge it. I also bought one for myself, so when I play I got a my own controller that I use. Yea it’s expensive, but it’s totally worth it once you are use to the controller.

Overall, I like this controller a lot. The battery life is insane. I've gotten through several weeks of playing numerous hours every day on a single charge (I'm writing this as the Coronavirus lockdown is going on). It feels good to hold and it doesn't have the Bluetooth connectivity issues I've encountered with the Joy-Cons. However, the d-pad is garbage. This is a common complaint I've read many people make online, and it is totally true. This is most obvious if you try to play Tetris 99 with it (a good game you should definitely play), where it will falsely register d-pad presses and ruin your game CONSTANTLY. It's a shame they couldn't get that one very important thing right, because otherwise this would be a nearly flawless controller.

I do not care for Xbox too much, but the 360 arguably has the best ergonomic controller, at least for my hands. This controller is pretty close to that level of comfort for me, and it has some heft to it so it does not feel like it is flimsy, but not overly heavy. The only thing it is missing is a headphones port, but the Switch can use wireless headphones now so that is less of an issue. My recommendation is to buy at least one as the joy-con are fine, but this is how you will want to game when you can.

I bought this controller since I had a gift card and reward certificates, and even then my wife thought I was wasting my money. Flash forward to today and my wife is the one telling me when need to buy another one! I never minded the joycons in their controller dock but there is a noticeable difference going from joycons to the pro controller.... The buttons are so much bigger and it's so comfortable! Battery life is amazing as well, I'd highly recommend!

This is our second controller purchased, and definitely one of the best purchases so far! Now we can all play Mario Kart without fights hehehe controller is great quality, nintendo original product! no issues! love the color!

This is a really great controller and it's a huge improvement over the Joy-Con Grip that comes with the Switch. The buttons are a decent size, there's a D-pad, and it's in a form that's way more comfortable than the Grip. It feels like a mix between an Xbox One and Xbox 360 controller and I like it. It also keeps the motion controls and NFC chip for games that require it. I like that Nintendo continues to use USB-C even with their accessories as well. It's expensive to be sure, but it's not a purchase I regret.

My son loves his Switch but got tired of using the smaller joy-cons that come with the unit. This pro wireless controller is a high-quality add-on to the system, and in my opinion, it's essential for those who will use the Switch as their primary gaming console. He won't travel with it -- the joy-cons are fine for that -- but for normal home use, the pro controller is the way to go.

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!

I think the price is a little too high but this really is a great solid controller. MUCH better feel than the joycons that come with it.
