Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This is a great controller. It is more comfortable the PS4 controller for me. My thumb is positioned in a comfortable place to press the buttons on this controller. It's kind of expensive though. I also liked it much more than using the joy cons and I think I might travel with this controller.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love the feel. The battery life is so long ive had to charge 3 times and ive played tears of the kingdom for 100 hours!

First off the control may seem pricey but let's face facts. The battery life is way longer than a DS4 (the PS4 controller) with way more tech inside to boot. It feels great in your hands and makes it so much more convenient to use you're switch in docked mood. Would buy another for MARIO kart.

I've gamed for a pretty long time, and certainly played every Nintendo system from NES to the Switch. I've played on Xbox, I've played on Playstation. As soon as this controller was in my hand I instantly smiled. It's a perfect fit for me, so very comfortable, and has a great quality feel to it.

The battery life. The comfort provided while playing any video game makes it more enjoyable. Highly recommend

Having a real controller is a must! This controller is pricey but worth it! I hate playing with the joy sticks the switch comes with. Battery holds well, for days without needing a charge and it's just awesome, just buy it.

Everything about this feels much more comfortable than the joycon. I love that it’s wireless as well. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that it doesn’t seem to be built for precision. For example, I play a lot of Tetris 99, and it seems like I get more misdrops when I play with this control pad over the joycons.

Worked perfectly and would buy another when the need arises.

This controller is great - I like it more than the PS4 or the XBox controllers! With a good balanced weight to it, extraordinary battery life, and all the Rumble and NFC features the console itself has, this is a must have for anyone planning on keeping the Switch around as a main console.

We had some issues with the original joy-cons. Decided to upgrade. Having used PS3, PS4 and XBox controllers this feels the same. Its robust and well weighted. It has good button feel and reasonable wireless. So a good all round controller

Super comfortable with no stick drift compared to the joycons!

i wish i had bought one of these sooner! this controller is great, battery is awesome. very comfortable to use!

This really is an excellent controller. It makes playing the Switch a significantly better experience. Definitely the best controller Nintendo has done, and has a great battery life. Don't even know when it was last charged.

Definitely better than playing with joycons! This controller adds more grip but also relieves stress from your hands while playing for long hours. Definitely a must have for anyone one playing switch on the tv while docked!

Bought this controller to use with the Samsung Gaming Hub on our Q90F 4K TV. This allows us to play games through the XBOX Game pass (if you have that), LUNA which if you have the Amazon Firestick will have some free options to play those and NIVIDA gaming if you have that subscription. This is really a good option if you don't have a gaming console and want to game on a newer TV that offers streaming gaming where all you need is a Bluetooth controller and a subscription to one of the gaming services offered through your specific tv. I also purchased this controller since my daughter has a Switch and we are also able to use this contoller when we play co-op games via her switch when hooked out to the Q90F 4K TV.

I already have the joy con and this but I needed a third controller. I prefer this controller over the joy con honestly. It’s lightweight and comfortable to hold. I prefer wireless controllers that don’t need the batteries changed out too.

At $70, it feels overpriced, but it's a very comfortable grip to play with, definitely better than the joycons on the charging grip. The battery also lasts quite a while, I can game for hours without needing to charge it and when I do it charges fairly quickly. I will note that the joycons on the charging grip that comes with the switch itself isn't a bad controller, so if you feel hesitant to plop down $70, try it out first and then consider this if you want a better feeling controller. If you play in short bursts of time, you may not even notice a major difference.

Great wireless controller. I use it for super smash to preserve my joy cons from wear and tear. It is very comfortable and battery life is good. The price is steep for a controller like all nintendo branded accessories. The controller feels good in hand. It has a rechargeable internal battery. The feel is similar to a xbox controller. I just hope the joysticks hold up as it is a known problem that nintendo joysticks are brittle and tend drift over time.

This controller is absolutely INCREDIBLE! So comfortable and so awesome, the only slight downside is it does not have a headphone jack, but it pairs to PC or other items you want it to, and it is AMAZING, HD rumble is fantastic, overall it's an amazing piece of technology from NINTENDO
