Customer Ratings & Reviews

After playing the switch with the joycon attached to the screen my hands would go numb within 20 minutes. I switched the joy cons to the included controller dock, but the controller just didn't feel normal. I purchased this pro controller and so far am quite happy. I played for roughly 30-40 minutes yesterday and my hands weren't aching from the poorly designed controller/joycon and I could have played much longer. I would highly advise any adult suffering from aches/pains while playing with the joycon to check this out.

The Switch pro controller is far superior to joy cons because of how comfortable the grip is, and how long the battery lasts

The form factor is more comfortable and familiar to me than the joycons (which, especially when used individually, feel small in my hands). In my opinion, this is a must buy for the Switch. The controller is well constructed, and it doesn't feel cheap. It has an NFC reader so if you want to interact with an amiibo it's simple. Nintendo says the battery can last up to 40 hours depending on what it's being used with - I haven't tested that, but haven't had any issues with the battery during extended play sessions.

I'm used to paying $20-$35 for controllers. This is $70 which is hefty. Outside of that the left joy and the right joy are just a quarter inch too high. I like it slightly lower for more control over the movements. But outside of those two complaints, everything else about the controller is awesome! Very accurate controls and the batter lasts forever. I like the look and the feel as well. Had no problems with my Switch detecting it as well.

Great product! I use my switch all the time and just now got a pro controller

I've been a Nintendo fan for many years and they have never disappointed with controllers, especially this one. What makes this such an amazing controller is it's an original Nintendo product, not a 3rd party product. My only complaint is the price. Other console's controllers top off at $60 so paying more than that is a little extreme and hope Nintendo drops the prices. A controller shouldn't cost more than a game.

Hands down the best controller for the switch when docked. Even when handheld on a table top. This controller is great for those games with detailed gameplay... Zelda ... Smash bros... Shooters.. etc. Also this controller can be used with PC . Plug and play on windows pc. Love it 10/10

I love this controller. For splatoon and monster hunter especially, it works extremely well and comfortably. However, for d-pad heavy games like puyo puyo Tetris, the d-pad issues make it almost unplayable, as you will find yourself frequently hard dropping pieces in places they don't belong, costing you games.

If you're gonna be playing on the TV with your switch this is almost a must have. Controller feels great in the hand, all the buttons have a nice feel, especially the D-pad which may be my favorite I've used. Price is the only downside at 70 bucks, but it does pack some nice tech in there like HD rumble, and an amiibo reader. You also can't beat the 40 hour rated battery life, as well as the included high quality USB-c to USB-a cable. Going to be getting at least one more once Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out for some good multiplayer.

Totally worth it. Rechargeable, NFC and high quality. Buttons and sticks feels firm and accurate.

While the default joycon is a great controller, the Pro Wireless Controller is simply a must own for anyone used to playing on the other consoles (PS4 and XboxOne). This controller is closer to the Xbox in terms of ergonomics, but for anyone with adult hands, it's an essential peripheral if you don't want to suffer from arthritis trying to make the most out of the tiny switch joycon controller. Battery life is right there with the other wireless console controllers as well, if not better.

This controller is very comfortable, rivaling the Xbox and PlayStation controllers. The battery life is also long and it charges quickly.

Makes playing the switch in docked mode alot more comfortable.

This controller is well matched with the switch. Works flawlessly and is cosmetically nice when paired wkgh the switch. When taken care of, these controllers can last for what feels like forever. Definitely a high recommended product.

I love this controller. It's comfortable, charge lasts a long time, I got it just for mario kart and find myself using it for every game.

This is a must have for longer gaming sessions. The joy-con controllers are great but to really enjoy a couch session, this is needed!

It feels very nice to use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers on some compatible Nintendo Switch games like Dragon Quest Eleven, Mario Kart Eight Deluxe, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Splatoon Two, Zelda Breath Of The Wild, etc.. I sometimes alternate between using the Nintendo Switch L/R JoyCons and the Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. Either way, I guess/think using either of them provides great gaming experiences on the Nintendo Switch!!

The pro controller is a must have for Nintendo Switch owners. It is comfortable, durable, and the battery lasts for many, many hours.

this is one of the most comfortable controllers that I have ever used. It just feels good to hold. My only real complaint, like several other people, is the D-pad. It will sometimes register a left or right button press as diagonal. It’s not that big of a deal, but it is something to be aware of.

Great upgrade controller for the switch - much better than the joycons, fits great into my hands.
