    Nintendo Quality Approved Seal. In my opinion, it's the best overall switch controller.

    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.

    Excellent Accessory For Nintendo Switch Games

    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!!

    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.

    Nintendo Switch Staple

    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.

    Feels good. The A-B-X-Y button scheme is the opposite of the X-Box, so that can be frustrating if you have both. It won't feel as good as the PS5 & X-Box controllers. I enjoy the bigger size ...as I am an adult, the tiny JoyCons are too small.

    Nintendo makes quality products including wireless controllers going back to the Gamecube Wavebird, but these Nintendo Switch controllers are just way too expensive.

    Perfect controller. I debated buying one of the cheaper models, but decided to get this controller and so far it's been great. Comfortable and for me, a big upgrade from the controllers that come with the Switch

    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.
