Customer Ratings & Reviews

Don't get me wrong...the Switch controller is fine! But when it comes to fighting games or movement intensive games, the Pro controller is a must have. Maybe not for advantage, but for comfort and that familiar controller feel. Controller response is great!

This controller is a must for playing Zelda. Comfortable to hold and added battery for longer game play vs joycons. A necessary addition to your Switch purchase.

Love this controller. Great quality and nice feel to the controller.

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

As someone who is smaller and doesn’t mind smaller controls, even I understand that the joy cons break easily and don’t fit everyone’s hands well. They do the job well enough for me, but it’s hard to beat a really solidly built controller and that’s what this is. It’s solid, feels well put together and works really well. Once you start using it, it’s hard to go dock mode with the joy cons in the controller dock. Battery life is great too! Doesn’t take super long to charger and lasts quite a bit.

I ordered a pro controller with my Switch preorder already suspicious about the price yet requiring something to accommodate my old school game controller demands. I now see why it's worth every cent. It's the perfect size, it has built in Amiibo tap, and it does what the joycon does while serving as the current generation answer to the classic controller style. It even has rattle and motion control features as we discovered during the Splatoon test fire last weekend. When you get your hands on that Switch you're just waiting to see return to stock, get one of these to go with it...or get two

What else can I say besides it looks and feels great. Everything is responsive and it’s comfortable for long sessions of gaming!

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

First time I held this in my hand, it was heavier than I was expecting. This is a good thing. The d-pad is big and has a slightly rough, matte finish so your thumb won't slide off easily. It has all the features of the JoyCons except the IR-pointer, so it has stuff like HD Rumble and gyroscopes (for motion-controls in Zelda and Splatoon). The sticks and buttons are also bigger and more comfortable than the Joycons'. I do not like using the JoyCons unless I have to.

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

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

Pro controller better than the stock one that came with xbox. Seem to last longer too

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

Tried the PowerA controller but nothing beats this one. The haptic feedback, the battery life, the way it feels in your hand. Would buy this controller again and again. I never even use my joycons anymore.

This controller is so great, very comfortable to use and lasts a long time on a charge. My only complaint is that pressing right on the d-pad sometimes registers as pressing up. This is an issue for some people that play certain types of games that require heavy use of the d-pad, which is really inexcusable at the price point of this controller.

At $70, it's definitely on the expensive side but it's easily one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever used. The battery life is also really impressive.

My sons loves it it’s wireless and it works amazingly.

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.

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.

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.
