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

    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.

    Nintendo's most comfortable controller, however...

    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.

    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 the joy cons cause your hands to cramp, this is the solution for you. My kids hate when I beat them at Mario kart and this ensures I can and will always beat them on any circuit, any day, any time (sarcasm…calm down). The kids find this controller more comfortable as well!

    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.

    Best decision I've made as a Switch owner

    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.

    Joycons are notorious for analog drift, and just because you haven’t experienced it yet, don’t think you won’t. This is a solidly built controller. I’ve been gaming since the NES days, and I’ve always purchased upgraded first-party controllers, from the NES Advantage to the XBox Elite controller, and while this isn’t on the level of the Elite, it’s among the best available for the Switch. It’s just a bit pricey, but don’t underestimate the reliability of this first-party option.

    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.

    Great controller for wireless gaming. It is sturdy and does the job quite well. It does not have the ergonomics of the PS4/PS5 or Xbox controllers but it still gets the job very well done. I felt the joy cons, even when attached to the comfort grips, did not give me that "feel" of character motion that I have gotten used to. I am glad that I got this. Like most controllers though, it is a bit expensive.
