Customer Ratings & Reviews

When using detached joycons in the grip, I had to stand in front of the TV near the console or pull up a chair and keep the joycons within line of sight, otherwise connection issues would cause input dropouts. With the Pro Controller, I can sit back on the couch across the room, as comfortably as I like and have no issues whatsoever. I thought I might have to get a longer cable (the included cable is only 1 meter -- about 3.3 feet -- unlike what is mentioned as a "best answer" on a question here that incorrectly states 10 feet), as I am generally wary of wireless gaming controllers, but honestly I have not felt any lag or connection issues. Yes, it is much more expensive than the aftermarket controllers. However, those don't have motion control, which is essential for some games like Splatoon 2 (without motion control you only have coarse stick aiming; with motion control you have both coarse stick aiming and fine motion aim adjustment), and they don't have rumble, which can be essential for elements of other games, like Super Mario Odyssey which uses the rumble to let you know you're close to a hidden object. So, consider the games you play and whether these two features are important for you. Before I got this controller, I played the Switch almost exclusively in handheld mode because of the poor wireless connection quality of the joycons. With this controller, I play on the TV as much as possible. I'm obligated to point out that I am an employee of Best Buy. However, this has no bearing on the content of this review.

I love the way it fits in my hand really well better than other controllers and it feel like a really strong and well built controller I highly recommend this controller I only use this controller out of my other 3

I prefer a controller to the joy con adapter/controller. The + & - buttons are easier to access on this controller, in my opinion, AND you use these buttons a lot it Breath of the Wild. That being said, I will point out that the controller is comfortable & has worked very well with my system and has held a charge for quite some time. Now, the negative: the button configuration is the exact opposite of the Xbox controller. Nintendo may have a reason for doing this, but it is extremely annoying for someone who plays both systems. You may want to consider this before purchasing because I play Zelda a lot & when I go back to my Xbox I find myself hitting the wrong button all the time. For this reason, I give the controller a mediocre rating...that & the expensive price tag.

comfortable in hand good grip. Battery lasts hours before needing to be charged

Overpriced but surprisingly worth it. Works well and is comfortable.

This controller works well, but is not cheap. Controllers should not cost more than games. But it works way better than using the numchucks. We had a similar controller start to move/drift. Hopefully this doesn't start doing that.

Great for bigger hands it's a bit pricey but we'll worth it it's better than trying to use the joy cons all the time

This is a really comfortable controller and a must have for any switch owners who plan to play mostly in docked mode.

The price for this thing is $15 too high, that being said you're limited on high quality controllers that are compatible with switch and this is the best one you can buy.

I love the pro controller. It’s comfortable and it’s great from smash bro’s. I highly recommend getting the warranty with it though. All switch controllers break like nobody’s business. It is a little expensive too though.

incredible quality controllers..feels amazing and has great battery life.

i had my switch for about 3 years now, and my joycons started drifting about a year in. it made playing games nearly unbearable at some points. there are some things you can do to ease the drifting, but my joycons went back to drifting not too long after. i got fed up recently and just invested in a pro controller. pricy, but it made playing games on my switch so much better now

This controller is AMAZING to the hands and controls so well, feels light but built strong. A must have for Switch.

Better control. long battery life after charging. Comfortable gaming controller.

This is another great controller from Nintendo. I've been using it while docked on my switch to play Zelda. It just feels good and with the right heft. It works well with Zelda. I sometimes prefer this over the joy cons. Only drawback is the price. Should've been a little cheaper.

Best wireless controller for the Nintendo switch. Never had any problems compared to other brands that are lower budget. Not a single bad thing to say about it honestly.

The Pro controller is a efficient one stop use for a controller. I’ve used many off brand controller but I got to say that nothing beats the official one. I was hesitant when purchasing it but now it’s the only controller I prefer.

This controller is a must have. When I first got the switch for my son he wanted me to play the games with him but was not able to as the j-cons are so small and the buttons are tiny. I would be pushing 2 buttons at the same time. But with this controller, the buttons are bigger and it’s a lot better to hold in my hands.

Feel great in the hands. Great controller. Worth getting for Switch owners

Controller is sized just right and feels more comfortable than the standard controls included with the system.
