If you have Nintendo switch and only have the only controller that comes with it and wanting to get the second one so you can play with friends or family members ( Not that you cant share the only controller that comes with it) this one is relly worth to consider rather than the 3rd party brand. the build is very solid, the grip is nice and doesnt feel cheap at all. i know 69 bucks is still a pretty dang expensive for a nintendo controller but hey you get what you pay for though. holding the controller is almost feels like holding the xbox controller so iam pretty familiar with it and i love it. all the button are very responsive and theres no lag at all when you using it wirelesly. i have had it only for a week but so far it doesnt disappoint me at all even my 5 year old boy preffer this one rather than the original red and blue controller. we used to share the original controller when we play together, it works fine to behonest but if you have large hands like me sometimes it just hard to hit the right button when you play.LOL
so my final thought is, build quality - 10, performance - 10, weight - 8 (it is still a little heavy for my 5 year old especially when we play more than 1 hour). if you have the money and play with friends or family often, or even you wanting to get the best experience playing your switch i think this controller is so worth it.

Best choice for quality, performance and durability. Holds a charge for a surprisingly long time. Perfect size for larger “adult” hands and anyone used to a PS controller. Recommend by a friend who has had one for 4 years with zero problems. Very glad I purchased this controller over a cheaper alternative. Do yourself a favor and don’t mess around with the other junk and just get it.

Absolutely the vest bluetooth controller for the Nintendo switch! The range is awesome, it never disconnects, charge lasts (what seems like) forever; however, price is kinda steep at $70. ON THE FLIPSIDE i still use the first one i bought was in 2017 when i bought my Nintendo Switch, and I just now started to get a very small joy shtick drift. So i bought a second and still have yet to open it, due to the old one is still kicking. Pair this is the cover that unfolds i to a triangle (dont remeber what the cover is called) and its perfect for travel. Highly recommend this for any Switch user.

Great controller has good battery life and good quality. This is it after a couple months of regular use. I definitely use it more then the controllers that came with the switch especially when I play by myself.

Fits my hand perfectly. The small controllers hurt my carpal tunnel but this helps. Battery life works well and hasn’t started drifting for me and I’ve had it for 4 years

I purchased this controller with my Nintendo Switch so I could play BotW. The Pro controller is much like the previous pro controller for the Wii U, but with much improvements. It is much more comfortable, has a better build quality to it and has better rumble.
The controller also is much more comfortable than the joy cons, and is highly recommended over them for the longer play sessions.
The battery life on the controller is outstanding. If you though find yourself with a nearly drained or fully drained controller. It charges extremely fast with its type c connector. It also comes with a type c usb cable, so no need to purchase an extra one.
Well worth the cost.

Things a beast. I've dropped it by accident and has been in heavy use for months. Still no stick drift and buttons feel fine. Little mushy if ur used to tactical responce, but it's more than good enough. Rumble feels good, Gyro works great in games that support it. The only thing that's odd is you get less input delay in wireless mode than set to wired mode in the switch settings say during docked mode. Deadzone is pretty good for the abuse. My Xbox elite 2 controller has had plenty more issues even having to take it apart to fix the triggers. Switch controller is better made than a premimum Xbox controller. Not one problem so far

My item was brand new! And the price was same as amazon. (I dont buy electronics on amazon anymore because if there not fake/bootleg items, there open box or even broken/swapped out,customers then return and amazon doesnt care they just ship it to next buyer, there quality control is horrible and dont got time for that. So i buy all my electronics from best buy now and couldn't be happier with the quality:) always new and sealed items! Controller is very comfortable to play my Nintendo switch games. And can even use it on my computer to play dolphin.

I've been using my JoyCon Controller that came with the Switch and didn't really mind using it...until my brother finally convinced me to buy the pricey Pro Controller.
I have to admit, I absolutely love it. Zelda is so much better to play with the Pro. It is literally night and day how much better the feel is. No more reaching for buttons or trigger, it just feels right. The most similar controller to the Pro is the Xbox Ones Controller.
Pros: Comfortable, Great Battery Life, Micro USB Charger, ~Xbox Like
Cons: Price, Color, Cable Length
Bottom Line:
I you have there money, buy it ASAP and you won't be disappointed.

My last pro lasted me years, compared to all the rest off brand controllers. I wish nintendo made different colors, but this is the only one. The buttons are smooth, the paf doesn't click and is not hard to press, and you can tell it's durable. Nfc is flawless, this is just a great product nintendo made for it's own system. Easy connection too. I try off brands all the time (kids are not allowed to use the pro controller) and the pro always wins.
The only con: the price. Nintendo doesn't like deals on its own stuff lol

Hands down the BEST controller for the Switch! If you’re thinking that $70 is a bit steep, make sure to read all of the specs and featured this bad boy has! Up to 40 hours worth of battery life on a single charger, motion controls, HD Rumble, amiibo functionality, and its build quality is top of the line. I’ve own a 3rd party controller, but the Pro Controller will ALWAYS be my go to!

Hands down the ONLY and best Switch Pro Controller to get especially if you get Joy Con drift when you get your Switch. Most other alternative controllers don’t even come close. Save your money and go for genuine/official controllers for the Nintendo Switch.

A must have for adults or for gaming on a TV

This is a great controller for a teen or adult. Younger kids or those with small hands may feel it is too big and/or find it difficult to touch all the buttons. The quality feels solid, the controller has a rechargeable battery built in, a USB-C port to charge it, and it holds a charge a long time.
I highly recommend this for anyone like myself; an adult that enjoys gaming on a TV. I have not had a Switch until recently, so the included joy-cons are difficult for me to adapt to, but this controller is somewhere between an Xbox and PS4 controller and is well suited for those with larger hands or that don't have the finesse to use the smaller analog sticks on the joy-cons.
The price is a little steep compared to comparable controllers on other platforms, but it works flawlessly and is officially licensed by Nintendo.
I have included a pic of the controller in front of my Switch for size comparison.

Wow wow wow. It is an understatement to say that the Nintendo Switch Pro controller is an amazing addition to Nintendo accessories. The joysticks that come with or built into the Nintendo Switch devices are great but this controller makes the gaming experience feel nostalgic. I’ve had this for a while now and I have not faced the devastating horrors of joystick drift. Even if you come across those issues, Nintendo is happy to fix it for you. Long story short, this is an amazing controller and I am very fond of it.

The controller is convenient to use especially for when you are playing for a long time. Using the small controllers when playing for long periods of time can get difficult, but using these makes it more comfortable to use. Flicking on the controller is really easy for the times when I get that desperate in the game and need to speed up ny actions. Overall, this is a really good purchase and would recommend for people who are not quite use to the small Nintendo controllers.

I’ve had a switch for a few years and didn’t mind the joycons, however, once I began playing Apex Legends I knew I would need a different type of controller since playing with the joycons is nearly impossible. I regret not getting the pro controller a while back ago as it makes playing with the switch so much better when in dock mode.
The controller offers rumble support and nfc. The size of it feels comfortable during game play and would consider a second one for when having a game night.
Definitely worth the investment if you own a switch.
