Nintendo Switch - Pro Controller

Absolutely perfect. Can be played either with a cable (to charge whilst playing) or charged separately and then wirelessly. Connectivity is excellent with a good signal reach and responsiveness. The overall feel of the joypad is excellent, good weight and tactile feel when playing. Buttons are a lot better than the stand alone joycons. Both in feel, button responsive and just feel more rugged and durable.

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is one of the best game controllers on the market. Best in class battery life, HD Rumble, excellent hand feel and excellent relability. At nearly 8 years old, I have a launch Switch Pro Controller which is still going strong with no issues. I recently purchased a second Pro controller as in typical Nintendo fashion, after 7 years on the market a small discount on the controller was offered. For me, personally. This controller is only second to the Xbox Wireless Controller as it missing the adaptive triggers but it wins the award for exceptional battery life which Sony and Microsoft controllers cannot match. I hope and pray that the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller remains compatiable with the Nintendo Switch 2

I have owned an official wireless pro controller since they were first released, unfortunately mine has now gained a few issues, this is purely due to regular heavy use, so it's understandable. I am aware there are fixes available, but after costing everything I would require, it doesn't make any sense financially, so far better to just buy a new one. Word of caution, please do not do as I did, trying to save a few quid, I bought a new, seemingly official one, from a well known auction site, only to discover that it was a counterfeit! The old adage is very true, if it seems to good to be true, then it's too good to be true! Buy from Amazon, a site you can trust! Very competitive price and was delivered fast. These official Nintendo Wireless Pro Controllers are great quality and reliable. My first controller has lasted well, considering how often I have used it, it's great having this brand new official controller here now, game on!

Excellent item and fits well in adult hands. It's my main interface with the Nintendo Switch - it's expensive but a quality item and IMHO a must have if most of your play is via the telly.

Can't say manythings negative about this controller. It's fairly priced saying its not "bulky" as a X Bone controller since by default you need AA batteries for that specific controller. This is pretty much the same price if you have the play and charge addon for the XBone Controller, giving that a rechargeable battery and cable which Switch Pro Controller comes with by default. Infact because the Switch uses Type-C USB which tend to be more expensive to make at the moment, you are probably getting a slightly better deal. Though compared to the DualShock 4 it could be considered a tiny bit more expensive (we're talking about £8 as of this review). Pros: > Comes with USB Type A to Type C cable (mine was about 1.5m long) > Long battery life > Nice feeling controller all round, infact is one of my favourite controllers > a good D-pad, which compared to the Joycons is very welcomed > larger Face Buttons (compared to Joy-cons) > no weird + and - shaped buttons (compared to Joy-cons) > larger shoulder (L+R) buttons (compared to Joy-cons) > analogue sticks in a way better position, especially for the right side (compared to Joy-cons) > great to use in tabletop and docked modes > makes the use of the "puppy-dog" controller grip with the joy-cons a good Player 2 option compared to a limited single Joy-con, or allows for a Player 3 if the Joy-cons are separated > works great as just a Bluetooth controller for other platforms too, like on a PC (With bluetooth dongle/built-in etc), most Phones (with Bluetooth support in apps and on the phone) > no need for AA batteries, has its own built in battery, which is a probable reason why its more expensive to a XBone Controller alone Pro-Cons: > Weighty? Some people would see this as a Pro and some might see it as a Con > Cable supplied may be too short for some, especially if you plan to use it's wired (NFC-less) mode when connected to a switch and enabled in Controller Options, though if you are happy using it wirelessly this won't be much of a problem with its large battery life > Yes its is a little pricy at £50-£60 BUT, don't forget it has an NFC reader, and "HD Rumble" built in, plus it feels deluxe, and compared to an Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller, which at the time of this review, was £120 (double this!), a DualShock 4 was about £52, and a normal wireless XBone is £40 so it really isn't too bad. > It can be charged via regular 5V USB outputs but be careful, it isn't Nintendo's fault if your USB charger/device damages the controller, best plug it into your switch if you need it charging via USB, the Switch Adapter works well for this controller too > Could do with a Audio Jack but since not many Switch Games yet support audio chat, and seeing Nintendo seem to plan on using your mobile device (for Splatoon atm) for voice chat anyway via their app, this could be added with a USB-C add on (since it does send data via usb and not just accept charge) in the future Cons: > After 100%'ing Mario Odyssey (999 stars etc) and using the cappy-spin flick motion control with this controller, I noticed over time, the right handle felt minorly twisted out of position, maybe that was more me since I used that move often in game but I could just hand tighten it back on, so be careful flicking it alot > Sadly ZL and ZR on Nintendo Switch (including the Joycons) doesn't seem to support analog triggers, since it is digital so no "precise" triggers, havent seen this been much of an issue for me, but if a game requires a light trigger squeeze or a hard one (or a range), there isn't any difference with this controller

I used the same joycons for over five years before the joysticks started to have issues. I bought this and started experiencing horrific drift within a month. Blowing air at them fixes the issue but its happened several times now. Avoid the Switch Pro controller at all costs!

does what is says on the packet - much easier to use than the joy cons on a link up piece. one benefit would be to have different coloured buttons like previous super nintendo and game cube etc. it’s hard to see which button is which when everything is black

Nos encontramos ante el mando original de Nintendo, el Mando Pro de Nintendo Switch. El mando que tiene unas medidas aproximadas de 106 mm x 152 mm x 60 mm y un peso de 246 g. Y cuenta con: Bluetooth 3.0, NFC (near-field communication) Acelerómetro, giroscopio Vibración HD Conector USB Type-C Batería de ion de litio [CTR-003] - Capacidad: 1300 mAh La batería dura unas 40 horas. Aun que el mando es caro de ......, la verdad que se nota que estamos ante un producto de calidad, con una sensación de agarre muy buena, y una disposición inteligente de los botones (muy similar a la de el resto de mandos para las otras plataformas de juego). Como ya comente tiene lector NFC, necesario para usar los Amiibo. Viene con el cable USB para cargarlo directamente desde el Dock de la consola. Uno de los puntos que encuentro mas negativo es que los gatillos del mando son simples botones, no tienen recorrido y aun que esto en principio no resta puntos al mando, si que es muy negativo de cara a posibles lanzamientos de juegos de conducción. Resumiendo, estamos ante un mando casi perfecto, con gran ergonómica, tacto muy bueno y un material de calidad. Lastima del precio tan elevado, aun así la sensación es de durabilidad y quizás compense pagar mas por este mando que comprar otros y al poco tiempo que se estropeen.

O controle original da Nintendo é o melhor para o console, considerando também que é compatível com Windows (talvez XBox) e Linux com ajuda da Steam via Bluetooth. A bateria dura muito, vai levar muito tempo pra precisar recarregar. Quanto ao PC, especificamente Steam, você vai conseguir usar quase todos os recursos, inclusive sensor de movimento, porém não sei até onde vai a compatibilidade fora da plataforma.

I got my Switch console back in 2019 and I just used the regular joy cons with the grip that came with it and it worked perfectly for me since I have small hands. I’ve always had the Pro controller in the back of my mind and I was tempted to buy it a few times over the last few years but decided that I didn’t really need it. Finally I decided to get myself an early Christmas present and ordered one after putting it off for the last couple of years and holy cow! Why did I not get it sooner!? The grip is great and feels solid in my tiny hands. Every single button press feels amazing and just overall it feels right! I seriously love it so much!
