Customer Ratings & Reviews

The joy cons that come with the switch are great for daily/travel play, but I can say that this controller is a big QOL improvement over the joy cons. Very happy with this controller.

The controller has been comfortable to play with. It’s better than playing with the joy-cons separately. The battery lasts a long time.

If I have one criticism of the Switch, it's that those little joy cons are not super comfortable to use for extended periods of time. Even with the provided dock that they slot in to in order to simulate a full sized controller, they are just too small to use for protracted play sessions. After a while with them, my hands get kind of stiff, and I guess if I wanted to be a responsible adult, I would take that as a sign that maybe I should take a break and go do something else. But, a different part of being an adult is the right to willfully ignore those signs and continue on doing stupid things. Fortunately, the Switch Pro Controller enables me to do just that and to play for hours and hours on end in phalangeal comfort.

Can’t get much better of a controller for the Switch. Battery life is amazing and does everything you need it to.

Great quality controller. Lasts long, doesn’t take long to charge

JoyCons would be great... if they didn’t drift. Thankfully, this controller doesn’t drift and is not only more comfortable, but has every feature joycons have.

These controllers are really great. We got 3 of them to supplement the joy cons that come with the Switch console, and now 4 of us can comfortably race each other in Mario Kart or all 5 of us can have a rousing game of Super Smash Bros. (by splitting the original joy cons into 2 controllers). I can't say enough about the quality and ease-of-use. Very little hand fatigue, and the wireless interface with the console is really impressive. I haven't had a videogame console since the original NES, so I can't speak to the competition, but these controllers do not disappoint!

This is a must have controller. If you want more of the original experience with a more comfortable grip gaming long periods of time get the pro controller. Charges quickly, hefty price but quality is very good.

This may be the most comfortable controller I've ever held. I'd heard that, and didn't see what the big deal was just from looking at it, but then I held it and was sold. Definitely a noticeable upgrade over the joy-cons + grip but also just too dang expensive. I've seen the price breakdowns of all the tech that's inside and it is a fair price based on that, but paying $70 for a controller is still hard to swallow.

love the controller!! it's a great alternative to the joy cons and in my opinoin, a much better gaming option as the controller feels better and has better battery life than the joy cons

Bottom line: you need this controller. This is the only controller i use to play in TV mode. Excellent battery life, great feel, and it really enhanced my experiences with Mario Kart, Tetris, and Zelda. Get one!

It is a bit expensive but I believe Nintendo justifies it with the amazing battery life and great ergonomics and buttons. 10/10 not as fatiguing as the joycons for me

The standard controllers that come with the switch are good for travel but are much smaller and to me are not as comfortable for home play. I like these larger full controllers much better. Very Durable!

A very good quality and comfortable controller to use when the Switch is docked to the TV! Feels good in the hands when playing Super Smash Bros and Zelda!

This controller has been great to use as an adult when playing the Switch with kids. High quality and good size compared to the smaller controllers.

Got tired of the controllers that came with the Switch... Excellent quality. Very comfortable! Pricey but worth it.

Keeps the charge great, easy to use and no lagging that I can tell!

This controller is a must for any Switch owner. It's comfortable, long rechargeable battery life and works great.

Best thing you can buy for the switch. This pro controller fills good in your hands and it's better the using the joy cons. If your going to play with your switch for hours I will recommend the pro controller.

I got this because I felt like the joycons were unresponsive for Smash Ultimate and it was a good choice. I was a little disappointed by the price, but the quality more than makes up for it.
