Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid buttons and sticks, very easy to get acclimated to. Controller also has a very nice weight to it. Only down side is I wish it had a port for headsets. Controller last 12+ hours on single charge, prob more. All around it just feels more like a real controller than the Joy Cons do while in the grip. A must buy.

Good controller for switch. Especially good for fighting games like smash

I had been using the joy con controllers for a while and they started to drift pretty badly. I decided to get this for myself and I'm amazed at the difference. The Joy cons work well, but this is above and beyond.

Although there may be cheaper alternatives for a conventional controller on the Switch (Google: Mayflash Switch), I for one like having a different tactile experience on different consoles. Great controller all around, best feature: battery life, worst feature: pricey.

Fantastic accessory that you need unless you like playing with the joy cons

High quality controller and a must if you like playing on the TV. The controller can take hits if you have kids and the battery lasts for a long time.

Works perfect. Easy to charge and much more comfortable than my Joycons. I have 2 and the battery life has held up pretty long playing Breath of The Wild constantly. It's like I can charge it from a docking station, or from the switch dock.

I purchased this controller because I was having so many connectivity issues with my joy cons that came with the game. It didn’t take long at all for me to get used to the feel! It feels great, the battery lasts a long time, and you don’t have connectivity issues! I love it!

Nothing special but a good controller. Its built well and i havent had any problems with drift or buttons sticking. Battery life isnpretty good as well.

The Controller feels comfortable to use. It’s durability is decent. Sensory is stabilized. Time to recharge the controller is fast. I want an optimal controller for Nintendo Switch and this is exactly what I wish for.

This is such a vast improvement over the standard joy cons. Has the right heft, responsive controls, and a quality build. I have no complaints about the battery life and no longer need to worry about the recurring drift in the previous remotes.

This is the ultimate Nintendo Switch controller. Perfect for people that have normal sized hands and don’t like the tiny stock controllers. It’s pretty similar to the Xbox Series X controller in feel, just wish it was a little heavier.

This controller is incredible! I was on the fence for a long time due to its high cost. The bigger buttons and the nicer control sticks make it totally worth it. I enjoy playing Zelda even more now because of this controller. It is much more comfortable for long sessions! The battery life is awesome too!

This controller is 100% worth it. After using the Joy-Cons for a while, switching to the Pro Controller feels like a massive upgrade. The build quality is excellent, it feels solid in your hands, and the buttons and sticks are extremely responsive.

I recommend this controller if you can find it under $70. $60 and under is what it should have been. Nintendo priced it too high but the controller itself is very good and the JoyCon grip is fine but for longer/bigger games you will be playing for hours non stop, I recommend the Pro Controller.

I've had my Switch for several years now (since the console was released) and I should've gotten a Pro Controller a loooonnggg time ago. JoyCons are known to be unreliable. They tend to disconnect, get drift in the joystick, etc. plus the joy cons can fit awkwardly in your hands. I've gone through so many joy cons due to drift, it's ridiculous. I finally decided to splurge on a Pro, and it doesn't disappoint. The Pro controller fits comfortably in your hands, is solidly built, and no more drift! Honestly, it's the best; and I've used Xbox and PS controllers before. The Pro is solid. Highly recommended to make your gaming experience better.

The Pro Controller’s face buttons are big – much bigger than the tiny Joy-Con buttons – and give a nice press. Thumbsticks also feel excellent, and, Miyamoto be praised, they’re offset just like on Xbox. The handles feel great, too; they’re just the right size for comfortable, extended gameplay sessions. You also get a real d-pad, which is an undeniable advantage over the tiny, separate directional buttons found on the left Joy-Con when it comes to playing classic-style 2D platformers – that might come in handy on a Nintendo console. I also had no issues using motion controls to solve Breath of the Wild’s controversial Myahm Agana shrine. Battery life from the built-in, rechargeable power source is phenomenal, with a claimed 40 hours that I’ve yet to successfully run down. That crushes the seven to eight-hour life of the DualShock 4, and may be similar (or perhaps even superior) to the AA-powered Xbox One gamepad. If you simply use the included USB-C cable to charge it once in awhile you’ll be hard-pressed to run out of power.

The reason I took off a star is because I feel that the d-pad is mushy. However, the rest of this controller is just plain better than the joy-cons. The sticks, for example, offer a much greater range of motion and make you feel more in control of your games than you are using the joy-cons. The buttons are much nicer to use than the one’s on the joy-cons as well. Don’t get me wrong, the joy-con sticks and buttons are better than say a PSP - but they are nowhere near this controller, or the competitors controllers when it comes to quality. Also, the “Thx to all game fans.” message was a nice touch.

Day 2 having the controller i Can see the difference between aftermarket controller and this one. Faster, easier to handle, the feel is on your hand is great and the battery is about right 9 hours playing time. The controller is on the high side but I recommended.

This really is the definitive controller for the Nintendo Switch. The only reason I gave a "Good" rating for the Quality is due to the main faceplate being a magnet to the oils that our hands secrete. Despite using anti-bacterial wipes to remove the oils eventually with time from pressing the "-", "+", "O" and "Home" buttons the matte of the faceplate will begin to develop grease. Nevertheless, overall this controller is impressive and amazing. The reason I consider this the definitive Nintendo Switch controller is due to the many features it offers like an Accelerometer, Gyroscope, HD rumble and built-in Amiibo functionality and you can also connect it with other bluetooth compatible devices. The size may be a bit small for adults but nothing that distracts you from gameplay. The battery is really good as well, this is the must have Switch controller.
