Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I had two sets of joy-cons, for the sake of having a spare set, (before the dreaded joy-con drift became a reality.) I had a fully enclosed case for my Switch and didn't want to constantly remove it to use the attached joy-cons. My hands aren't the largest in the world, but after awhile, I found the joy-cons to be a cramping way to play. I finally broke down, and into my wallet, and purchased the Pro Controller. Greatest move ever!!! The fit is much more comfortable than playing with the joy-cons, and gives one all of the features of the joy-cons (motion control, Amiibo NFC connection.) It's much better than holding onto the small joy-cons, even with the adapters that allow you to use them as a larger controller. And of course, as of date, there is no problem with joy-con drift!

The pro controller is the best option because it already has a rechargeable battery inside. So why buy a cheap 3rd party controller just to find out that you would need to buy the battery separately. This controller is all set to go and is the best wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch.

Comfortable controller. I prefer this for pc over the xbox controller.

The Pro Controller is an excellent controller for serious gamers. Its ergonomic design, excellent build quality, and long battery life which can offer 40 hours of play provide the comfort and responsiveness to allow for extensive play.

I know for the price it's kind of steep for a controller, but it's by far the best for the System. Ive tried other less expensive ones, and they work but lack the quality, ease and features of this one. It feels heavier and sturdier, supports amiibos, and connects right away with no issue.

Works as expected. Better than the joy cons for sure. I did get a little grinding feeling on the right stick. Either I have gotten used to it, or it's is not doing it anymore. But all in all, it is a decent controller. I think it is a bit overpriced. But still a huge step up over the junky joy cons.

This really beats the joycons when you have the console docked. The battery lasts a long time. It's comfortable and everything works as it should, but it's way too expensive.

I know the JoyCons were a big part of Nintendo's Switch sales campaign, and they are fine for most games, but for those intense high action games you really need a more responsive controller. With that said, Nintendo’s Pro Controller not only fills that need but it is one of my favorite controllers I have used on multiple platforms. Also, the battery life is unmatched. Literal days with constant use versus 6 hours for most I have used. Can’t recommend this controller enough.

it feels good in the hands and has a nice weight to it not to heavy not to light. input delay is non existent, and the controls are tight and accurate. bit on the expensive side but recommend to get when its on sale at a discount.

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!

Best controller for the switch. Battery life is great and charge cable is long enough to play with plugged in. Comfortable over long periods of gaming and thumb sticks are smooth and grippy. 2nd one of these I’ve purchased and well worth it.

This is a fine, comfortable controller that well exceeds the capabilities of the Joycons, but, at the same time, it's definitely not worth the exorbitant price tag. Nintendo definitely could have cut some features, such as HD Rumble and Amiibo scanning, to lower the price - and the controller would have been no worse for it. Additionally, there are some tiny faults with this controller that irk me quite a bit more than they should given its, once again, incredulous price tag. For example, the right control stick is way too close to the Y and B buttons, which makes it all too easy to accidentally swipe. Also, the -, +, Screenshot, and Home buttons are essentially camouflaged visually and tactilely, meaning you're going to be mishitting them way more often than you'd think. And the control pad just doesn't feel all that good to press. It's very scratchy. In my opinion, you should invest in a cheaper third-party gamepad. Not only are they cheaper, but they're far more beautiful and probably higher quality as well. And, really, do you need HD Rumble and Amiibo scanning?

Wonderful battery life. I use this as my personal controller while the kids play with usb controllers. Phenomenal wirrless.

Hands down, this is the most comfortable and useful (and expensive) controller of all first party Nintendo controllers. It's as if the Wii U Pro Controller had a makeover with higher quality materials, bigger buttons, and can be used on PC via a separate bluetooth receiver. If only it was less expensive by $10-20..

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.

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.

Feels good, lasts for a couple days kn a charge with lots of gaming. Amiibo reader is much better than the joycons.

I really thought this thing was overpriced. I avoided getting one ever since the switch came out. First I bought a 3rd party controller, and I ended up letting my brother or friends use it when we played - it felt cheap. Then I got a JoyCon "comfort grip." It didn't fit the bill either. Fast forward a year and I picked this guy up. You can tell from the heft of it that it's quality. I twisted the controller by the grips. No squeaking! Alternated pulling the triggers with varying levels of speed and force. No cheap spring sounds! NFC worked perfectly first try, and most importantly... HD RUMBLE! Battery life has worked out to be 30+ hours, as claimed, plus you can charge it via USB C even while you're gaming. I shouldn't have waited this long, guys.

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.
