    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.

    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.

    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.

    Rock Solid Controller, Must Have for the Switch

    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!

    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.

    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.

    A Must for Large Screen Gameplay!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bought to use the switch more like an Xbox and this controller is a game changer. It literally smaller than an Xbox controller and holds a great charge for a long time. Would recommend to anyone.

    This controller is fantastic, a must-buy for the Switch experience. Great weight, feel, and structure. I have not had a single disconnection reported with the JoyCon controllers or other ones I have experienced with my Xbox One controllers. I have heard reservations that this controller is expensive but the battery pack that is included is spectacular. While my Xbox one controller needs charged every other day, I have had to charge this only twice in the 3 weeks of over 140 hours played in Zelda.

    Must-have Switch Accessory

    If you’re like me and you complained about the ergonomics of the stock switch controllers, then this is your solution. It may be on the pricey side but it is well worth it for games like Breath of the Wild. Ergonomics are perfect; buttons and control sticks are right where they should be. Instead of all the controls being organized vertically, they fall in more natural positions. Basically, if you are used to using traditional controllers, this will not disappoint. Highly recommend.

    I bought this for Smash Brothers and it is so much fun. I like this controller over the Switch controller. This one is more comfortable like a traditional controller when playing solo and the battery life on it is great. I've used it quite regularly for about 4 hours and I barely made a dent in the battery life. The Switch controllers seem to drain faster. If your buying a Switch you need the controller too. It's a no brainer.

    One of the most solid console controllers I've owned in my life. Just holding it you can feel the build quality compared to some of the cheaper controller options available out there. Battery life is good, I usually get anywhere between 7-10 hours on a full charge. I would highly recommend the pro controller over any other switch controllers, especially the default Nintendo joy-cons.

    I had this controller for a very long time now and I gotta say, it feels very good in the hands. The button feel big and the sticks are so good. Pretty much everything is responsive and it could link via steam. Is there any flaws with this controller? THE D-PAD CURSE!!! As many of you know, the D-pad on this controller has a very funky issue where you press left or right and it would also register up or down. Although the solution to fix this problem is to open up the controller (For me its easy) and put 4 sided tape to fix the issue, it still baffles me how Nintendo was able to screw up a D-pad.

    I have all of the modern consoles(PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Wii U and more) and this is by far my favorite controller. It's comfortable. The motion controls are sensitive, and I have arthritus and it bothers my hands the least of all my controllers. It's more expensive than other controllers, but I think it's worth it. I definitely prefer it over the joy cons that come with the switch. I use it for Splatoon 2 and Zelda so far, and will definitely be using it for Odyssey as well.
