    Really solid controller

    I really love the Pro Controller. I have the Pro Controller for the Wii U, and it's kind of a bummer Nintendo didn't allow it to work on the Switch, but since I prefer a more traditional control style and both my wife and I have issues with our hands at times, this controller was essential. It is a bit expensive, but when you consider that PS4 and Xbox One have controllers that cost around $64.99, it's not too bad. Hopefully they'll come down in price at some point as I'd like to get a second one. It's a really well-built controller and the buttons feel really nice. They have a good stiffness but they aren't too stiff. The joysticks are nicer than the ones on the standard Joy-Cons and the controller feels really good when holding it. It's also really sturdy and you can tell it was built with kids in mind, which is a good thing. The cord is a bit short and since it plugs into the dock to charge, it's almost impossible to play wired because it can be really easy to pull the entire dock and system off the entertainment center if you're not careful. I recommend playing with it wireless and letting it charge when not playing. Overall, if you want a more traditional play-style, I'd say make the investment and get this controller. It's worth it!

    Was hesitant to spend $70 on a controller, but it was worth every penny. Feels comfortable in my hands. It's awesome playing Zelda BOTW and Mario Kart 8 with this.

    Love this controller. The Joy Cons that come with the system are too small for my hands. This is almost identical in size and feel to my Xbox One controller.

    The love child of a PS4 & Xbox One controller

    The controller falls right smack in the middle of the PS4 and xbox controller in a good way. Pairing is easy and done with the included USB-C cable and the battery life lasts forever. I did have some issues at first using it to turn on the switch while it's in docking mode. Quickly figured out that you just hold down the home button for a few seconds then it gives a quick vibration to indicate the system is turning on. My only quibble is that the face buttons are a little squishier than the other console controllers out there but it hasn't hindered my zelda sessions one bit. I would recommend.

    One of the best controllers I have ever used! Very long battery life and charges very fast. The layout is clean and the button inputs work well. I highly recommend buying this controller if you are not a fan of the joycons.

    Virtually non-existent lag, it's the only way I'll play the Switch anymore. Still frustrating that Nintendo uses opposite button placement compared to their competitors...
