Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

The connection is simple and quick, holds a great charge, and the lights on the bottom to indicate which player is very helpful. A must buy, even if it is a bit expensive.

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

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.

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.

great durability, long playtime after full charge, charges decently quick, can play while plugged in charging - my sons dropped his original one more times than I can count and it's still working perfectly no drift issues button stuck issues etc, - also uses usb c to charge which is great for kids no wrong way to plug it in. not really many sales on this controller - you get what you pay for.

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.

Just perfect 100% satisfied.. Durable great weight performance long lasting charged.

If you use your Switch to play games on a big screen TV, this controller is an absolute MUST buy. It is perfectly balanced, holds a charge forever, and is 100 times better than the controllers they include with the system. A little pricey, but totally worth it for superior gameplay. Way better than the off-brand knock offs I've tried.

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 one of the best gaming controllers money can buy. I purchased it along with a Switch for my kids this Xmas and it works great. The battery lasts many hours before needed a charge and the controller is rock solid and comfortable to use. Its the perfect option for kids that are more prone to dropping the controller and adults that may throw it across the room. :) Buy with confidence!

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.

Basically this is the only way to have a real high quality controller. The joycons are nice and convenient as well as versatile but if you want an actual controller that you can use this is the only way. I wish it didn't have a 70 dollar pricetag. Of course Nintendo is gonna try and rake in that money. One convenient thing is that it charges with type c which most phones use now so you should have a few cables to charge the controller if you happen to lose yours.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Wireless Controller is the perfect size and weight. The buttons are very well-spaced and easy to use. It makes playing on the switch much easier than the two controllers that come with the switch. I love this controller!

Controller comfort really depends on your hand size, personal preference, and past controllers. With its slightly larger than average face buttons, this reminded me of something Sega would have put out (in all the right ways). It's the most comfortable controller I've held, and I much prefer it over the JoyCon grip (which is fine but not in the same ball park as this). My only complaint is that the dpad is just okay, which is a shame considering a lot of people will consider buying this just to have one.

The battery life alone is worth buying it, yet the more comfortable grip than the Grip for the Joy-cons, the HD rumble, and several other features make it a solid controller to own. The llack of a headphone jack and the d-pad are my only issues that keep it from getting 5/5 review.

The joycons that come with the Nintendo Switch work pretty well for most games, but this pro controller is WAY more comfortable and satisfying to use. If you play for long hours, you will want one of these or you’ll have hand cramps all the time from using the joycons. I especially recommend it for competitive games like Splatoon 2 for example.

The Nintendo Switch Pro controller certainly is pricey but when you consider its 40 hour battery life and extremely comfortable form-factor, I would consider it essential. This is the best controller Nintendo has made since the GameCube controller. It's also important to note that the PS4 controller for example is only $10 cheaper and the battery life is exponentially worse. I have yet to try the HD rumble but the controller is so comfortable to use that I can confidently say that this is the way to go.

This is the best pro controller you can purchase for the switch. I knocked it down one star because it’s overpriced. Being Nintendo branded controller, you’ll get quality. Another perk is the long battery life and easy to replace if it don’t take a charge one day.

100 times better than Power A controller. Better battery life, build is much better overall. This feels less prone to stick drift than the Power A controllers. Bought 6 months ago and still no issues. Would buy again, totally worth the money.
