    I bought this for my husband as a gift and he loves it. It stays charged for a long time which allows him to game longer and not worry about putting it to charge every time he plays. More comfortable to play games with than the individual joy sticks

    It's called pro for a reason. You can assign buttons wireless play and rumble which is not included on any of the wired sets. A good weight and feel in the hands very easy to reach her maneuver to navigate all the necessary buttons to complete your quests.

    A great controller but redundant

    The Wii U was my first console since the N64. I bought many accessories for it including the "Pro Controller". It had twice the battery life of the Switch version. It does a lot of the same things sans amiibo. However, Nintendo has recently allowed Gamecube controllers to work with the Switch but not its own "Pro Controller". I do like the analog sticks and minor details on this controller more. It is far better than the Joycon Grip accessory the console comes with. It also has minor motion controls that help you aim. (ex: your bow in Zelda: BoTW.) 4 stars because of the enormous cost of a fairly standard controller.

    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.

    A great controller with a minor design flaw.

    The switch pro controller may be the most comfortable I've ever held in my hands, but one flaw makes it impossible to grant it a perfect rating. If you've heard about the dpad issue, I'm sad to say it's part of the controller's design and not simply a defect among some affected controllers. If you use this you WILL eventually hit a directional button and have the wrong input registered. The good news is that it's not as terrible as it seems and for games that don't rely heavily on the d-pad it isn't much of an issue. Use caution and tap along the putter edge of the button and you will rarely experience any problems.

    Good stuff. I like this controller because it's Xbox style. The only problem is it takes a while to charge. But its solid overall. Works on both systems which is a plus and uses usb c to charge

    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.

    If you have a Switch this is the best controller you can get. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny. Usually the best way to play any Switch game unless it's Smash Bros (GameCube controller).

    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.

    I've played Nintendo switch with several pairs of Nintendo brand joycons as well as off-brand. I've also played with several off-brand pro controllers and one other Nintendo brand pro controller. All of them eventually got joy-con drift. So far this one has been perfect. The battery life is great, and I have not experienced any drift. It also feels really well made. With this controller you can still scan amiibos and motion controls work great. I will update this review if it begins to have joycon drift in the future.

    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.

    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.

    Best Controller for the System

    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.

    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 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.

    The Best Nintendo Controller

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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..

    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.

    Great quality as I’d expect from a first party controller. I honestly wish it were a few dollars cheaper to make it feel like a better deal, but after using it for a bit I’m not mad. I’ll probably get a. Second one..

    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!
