Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hands down my favorite controller for any gaming console I have ever used. The size, weight and performance is just perfect.

Comfortable to hold and easy to use. Battery life is great. Wish the design was a bit better.

Simply the best controller for the Nintendo switch. I think it’s better than the joy controls. My kids agree.

Works perfectly. It's nice that it's wireless and works from a good distance. I use it about 6ft away from the console. Battery lasts a couple of hours for me.

Feels perfect in the hands. The D-pad is a little too sludgy to me (I keep having bad inputs). It's a little pricy at $70. I'd rather have got it around $60.

The controller feels sturdy and responsive. I find holding this much more comfortable than the joy cons, but that is just personal preference.

i love this controller its much better then the 3rd party junk the battery life is 40 hr's its wireless its pricy at 70 but its well worth it i must say

I've had this over a year now and it is absolutely necessary for anyone playing in TV docked mode. It feels great and works well. Battery life has been good and around the expected 40 hours that Nintendo says. My only issue is the D pad doesn't have a center support which prevents pressing multiple directions at the same time.

I’ve heard so many reviews saying that they had gotten unlucky with drift of the pro controller right out of the box. I got this controller because if you get the right one, it won’t have drift and it takes way longer to make it happen compared to Joy Cons. I’m glad I get to use this with the TV instead of having to use my Joy Cons life span so then I can use them in handheld only. I’ve tried it out for a few weeks, and this is my favorite controller of all. Definitely would recommend

Literally everything about this controller is great especially the battery life. The one complaint is that the Dpad isn't up to par as they used to be. Trying to play Tetris, the up, on the dpad will sometimes trigger when I'm just trying to move the piece to the right. This is a GREAT game pad for anything that isn't dpad sensitive though

If you plan on playing your Switch in tv mode, the pro controller is a must. Solid feel and outstanding battery life. Wish my PS4 controllers lasted this long!

much better controller than the joy con grip version, feels solid and battery seems to hold for a long charge

This is one of the best controllers you can get for the switch. Battery life is phenomenal, you can wake up the console with the home button. What I don't like about it is the d-pad is trash. Horribly inconsistent with inputs. If you can overlook the mediocre d-pad though, it's otherwise a great controller.

I've owned every standard controller that Nintendo has ever made, with my previous favorite being the Wii U Pro controller. Despite how bulky it looks, the Switch Pro controller is the most comfortable controller Nintendo has ever made. The buttons are larger than the buttons on the Joy Cons, and the + and - buttons are standard round buttons, not the shaped ones as on the Joy Cons. The Pro controller has more standard, slightly larger analog sticks, and the shoulder buttons are fairly large with a very tactile click when pressed. It even has NFC and motion controls, as the Joy Cons do. The only downside to the Pro controller? The D-pad isn't very good. It's fairly mushy, and it's difficult to switch between directions on it without also accidentally pressing the wrong direction in-between. While playing NES Zelda with it, Link would often undershoot or overshoot doorways in dungeons because of the D-pad sending the wrong direction while trying to get into the doorway. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a primary controller for NES gaming. However, for most Switch software, it's highly recommended.

Like most procontrols and off brand controls, ghosting become a problem. We have not experienced that with our procontroller. My son has had one for nearly 3 years without issue so we qre finally investing in everyone having their own - a must for SmashBros. I know it's an investment but well worth it.

Probably the best video game controller I've ever had. One charge seems to last forever and it's super comfortable.

It has a decent grip, can last for a couple days without charging, and feels easier than the joycons. I always prefer this over the joy-cons.

If you are looking for the best controller for the switch look no further. The controller may be expensive, but the charge is great and it feels outstanding.

I had heard time and time again that this controller is the best way to play. I had my Switch for a little under two years and felt that the Joy-Cons were more than enough until I finally decided to buy this and my only regret was not buying it sooner. The comfort of this control over the Joy-Cons is worlds apart. I've used third-party controllers but the gyro and HD Rumble on the Pro Controller are simply much better. The build quality to me seems very good to me. I just wish they made more color options available.

A must have if you are playing at home. Easy to use, durable for kids. Love that it’s cordless! Great buy
