Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller feels just as good as most controllers i used (Xbox One, Dualshock 4). The only small caveats i have with this controller is a weird joystick issue where if you flick the stick hard/fast enough (usually when executing quick inputs), it would “snapback” and go the opposite input. This can be a bit annoying since i didn’t had that issue with othercontrollers but i got used to it. Also wished this controller was a bit cheaper as 70 dollars is a bit steep, though other new flagship controllers from other consoles are nearly the same.

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

I am glad Nintendo released this pro controller. The joy cons are alright but there’s nothing like an actual controller in your hands when you want to play a game. It’s smaller than the PlayStation controller and fits well in my hands. Very comfortable to play for long periods of time, the battery lasts a good amount of time too. I have to charge it once every week and a half to two weeks and I play for 5+ hours per day.

The pro controller greatly improves the playing experience when the switch is docked. I have huge hands and the small joy cons were a bother. The pro controller was a welcome change. The internal battery lasts around 25-30 hours. The only con is that it is too pricey.

This is a great controller! I hate a lightweight controller that feels cheaply made. This thing feels very sturdy and the button layout feels very natural. The battery time is also very impressive. I play around 2 hours a day and I only have to charge the battery once a week...if that. It is a little more expensive than the other switch controllers that are available but the extra money is worth it. I highly recommend this controller

This is a must-buy if you're playing anything on the Switch for longer than a half hour. The charge holds for quite awhile; I'm still on my first charge after 10+ hours of using it. The controls are super responsive and it feels quite comfortable in my hands. Not as comfy as an XBOX controller but it's way better than the tiny Joycons. Games played with it: Zelda BOTW, Mario Kart, Fire Emblem and Zelda: Hyrule.

The Switch's Pro controller is very comfortable in your hands, and feels like a mix between the Xbox and PS controllers. This is an essential purchase if you intend to play your Switch with games that require long game sessions like Zelda, etc, but makes games such as SSB Ultimate easier to control, and play. This is hands down the best official controller for the Nintendo Switch. The only con about it is the price. For some reason it costs even more than an XB1 or PS4 controller.

Amazing battery life, first off, with it holding a charge of roughly 24 hours so far. I have purchased 2 of these (the review is for the most recent one) and have had zero issues. The signal never cuts out and it holds up really well, considering the fact that I have dropped them a few times on accident. No scratches and no damage when I did so. And they’re way more eco friendly than the battery options for controllers, too. Easily worth the price.

While the Switch is a beautiful blend of handheld and console, it suffers a notable weakness in the form of the joycon control sticks, which can be an impediment in certain games. The Switch Pro Controller is easily one of the finest controllers I have ever used. The battery has an impressively long life, the sticks and buttons are smooth and responsive, and it is comfortable in the hands. If you play your Switch on your TV, I highly recommend you invest in a Pro Controller.

In terms of feel, this controller is one of the most comfortable to hold. I prefer the feel of this over XBone and PS4 controllers, honestly. The buttons, on the other hand, are a different matter. They're not bad, but they're not great. They feel kind of mushy. The D-pad is decent. It's a little stiff at first but quickly becomes a bit mushy as well. (Sorry, it's about the best way I can describe it.) And, yes, I know this is simply the nature of using rubber domes in your controller. I guess, I was just hoping for something more tactile and precise with "Pro" in the name. (but then I'm weird) "But wait" I hear you cry, "the Joycons have more tactile and precise feeling buttons!" True, but the Joycons are smaller and less comfortable in the hand than the Pro Controller. Further, they don't have a true D-pad like the Pro Controller. And, honestly, those are the two main reasons I would recommend the Pro Controller, in the first place. A true, decent D-pad on a controller that's very comfortable to hold. Does that make it a must have accessory? I'd say so, yes.

This controller is a necessity when it comes to accuracy of shooting & extended comfort for those who play fortnite all day during this quarantine like my sister and I. She uses a pro controller with her switch lite, and I use one when I’m docking my full size switch. The pro controller is very durable and the battery life is above average! I charge it every 3 days-thats around 25-30 hours of game play on it. 10/10 would recommend

These are considerably more expensive than wired controllers, but they are worth it. Our couch is not close to our tv setup, so we would have to sit on the ground to play. That's fine as a kid, not as an adult. So I came across these. They have been amazing! They have a nice feel to them. It keeps a charge pretty long too! Be smart, and spend the extra money.

The Nintendo Switch controller is good and works well.

I bought this on a wim of using it for pokemon i like how it feels in my hands and how it works unlike some of these third party controllers i use it everyday and it keeps a charge for a very long time

Pro Wireless Controller: excellent build, precise controls, long battery life — perfect for serious gamers!

Bought this for the wife because the standard Switch Joy Cons are notorious for getting stick drift - and her Joy Cons on both sides had stick drift. This is an excellent, well made controller that every Switch owner should have! Pros: Long battery life, quick charging time Controller feels solid, not flimsy at all Buttons feel great, have good response Connects to Switch easily Cons: Wish these came in other colors.

Do you sometimes play a game for more than 10 minutes? This is the controller for you! The battery on this controller last a long time, sits comfortably in your hands, and is very responsive. It makes playing games like Super Mario Odyssey much more enjoyable. The only negative I would have about his controller is the appearance. The black plastic is a little transparent, making it look like an old aftermarket controller. Other than that, this is a great addition to the console.

Writing this 2 years later and this quality is great. this controller is holding so well! and I play on the switch for multiple hours. great grip , light weight, haven’t had any problems. and the price is perfect

Love this controller. It syncs up quickly to the Switch, it feels solid in your hand, it works perfectly, and it's durable (my kids tend to drop controllers and knock them off of furniture on to the non-carpeted floor). I have 2 of these, and while I have 2 pairs of joycons and 3 Beboncool wireless pro controllers, I'd like another one of these because I play with two kids who prefer these controllers to the others.

This is BY FAR, the best official controller for any console. It is so comfortable in the hands. The sticks feel great. The rumble is amazing. The gyro controls. The PC usage. It’s amazing. The only flaw is the D-Pad so for fighting games like street fighter I wouldn’t recommend this (but if you’re taking those games seriously you probably have a fight stick) if you’re thinking about buying this. DO IT. You will not regret a thing. Also the battery life is amazing.
