I preordered this item before it was released and I'm glad I did! The controller feels the same as the black pro controller. The only differences are the green/pink grips and the splatoon design in the middle of the controller. The colors are very vibrant and are a good addition to my collection of neon controllers. When playing splatoon 2, I feel the pro controller definitely helps with a more comfortable grip and can play for a longer period of time. I've had no connectivity issues and the battery life is amazing; 40 hours! Anyone looking to buy a pro controller and wants a neon configuration will greatly enjoy this controller. If you don't need it though, the original pro controller will be just as good.

The first thing I noticed about the Switch Pro controller was the price. $75 was a far cry from the $30 spent for the Wii U Pro controller I only purchased a year ago. That said, I personally found the joycons a tad uncomfortable, so I knew that this would be a purchase I would inevitably make. Upon first holding this pad, I found it incredibly comfortable, but I would argue that most gamepads have the ergonomic aspect down. What sets this pad apart from others is the battery life, which has exceeded any other wireless pad that I've owned, aside from the Wii U Pro controller. All in all, it's an incredibly solid gamepad, but the price is quite a heavy burden to carry considering the prices of most other gamepads on the market, but seeing as this is more than likely the best option for a gamepad on the Nintendo Switch at the moment.

I know this item is pricey, but I cannot stand the small controllers that came with the Nintendo Switch, so I picked this controller up and it feels great and plays great as well! It's a plus if you're a Splatoon fan as the grips are colorful and the design on the controlled has Splatoon characters embedded as well.

Such a comfortable controller, it feels like an Xbox One controller and its buttons run very smoothly as well. The pink and green design is absolutely the bread winner here though. Perfect for any Splatoon fan or Nintendo collectors.

This has splat markings everywhere in the clear plastic part, along with the classic Splatoon colors for the handles. Battery life is enormous.

I've had a Pro controller since launch, but decided to buy this one too. Honestly, it's for Splatoon diehards only. The pink and green handles apparently merit a more expensive price, which seems odd as if they are positioning this as a collectible. If it is, it's a very lazy collectible. The colored joycons are far and away more attractive than this oddity. But my rating is also including the controller build itself, which is just as great as the original pro. Whether you feel the colored handles are worth the extra money is up to you.

Best Controller Nintendo Has Made

In my opinion, the Pro Controllers are the best controllers Nintendo have ever made. They have an amazing sturdy feel in your hands and every button and stick feels perfectly placed. I’d put this up against a PS4 controller any day.
That said, when they announced a Splatoon 2 themed Pro Controller it was a no brainer purchase. I adore Splatoon and I thought the neon colors were perfect.
After 170(?) hours of Splatoon 2 playing, I’ve had no issues but the B button becoming a little sticky. From what I’ve read online this is easily fixable. If it ever fully broke I’d happily buy it again.
I know it may seem pricey but remember you’re getting motion controls and the ability to scan Amiibos in this controller.

I bought a Switch at launch, but never purchased a Pro Controller. I thought that using the Joy-Con Grip was fine. When this controller was announced I pre-ordered it because of the fun colors and all the reviews I read about the Pro Controller. This is far superior to the Joy-Con grip! It is the only controller I have used since purchase. It is extremely comfortable to hold and feels like a great piece of hardware. The amiibo scanning built in is a nice feature, and the colors make it a very fun controller to own as well!

Any Pro controller for the Switch is absolutely needed since trying to use the joycons in the dock they provide is awful and hurts your wrists.
The price hurts the wallet, but is absolutely worth it.

Probably one of the most ocnfortale controllers I've ever used. Puts the old Wii U Pro Controller to shame with how comfortable it is. Everything is matte plastic so it won't smudge or get greasy. Has HD Rumble, Amiibo support, and gyroscope. The Splatoon pattern on the controller, along with the nice colors make it look so much better than the plain black model. Only downside is this one is more expansive than the plain black one.

Splatoon Pro Controller

This is the best controller to play Zelda Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 (of course). I love the fact that Nintendo isn't afraid to use some neon colors when they release their controllers on the Switch. The pro controller is so comfortable in your hand and it feels just right when playing games.

My first impression seeing this controller online was that the colors would be gaudy, but I fell in love with it the moment I saw it in person! The little details on the grey part of the controller are so awesome. Would definitely recommend to any Splatoon fan.

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is an incredibly solid controller and one of my personal favorites. I honestly can't imagine playing games like Splatoon 2 without it. It's incredibly comfortable and has an amazing battery life. Definitely worth picking up!

The pro-controller itself is a must have for long term gaming use. I love the joy-cons but they cause my hand to cramp after long periods of use. Then I love the green and pink on the controller as it makes it really pop!
