Product description

Product Description

The Nintendo Switch Pro-Controller is a premium product boasting premium grips and a semi-transparent casing. It has the same buttons as the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode and is designed to be held and operated more easily than the Joy-Con controllers. The primary difference in the controls is that while the directional controls on the Joy-Con (L) are made up of different buttons, the pro controller has a single plus control pad, similar to previous systems. Note: If the buttons are not working power off the console and clean the area around the problematic buttons using a soft, dry toothbrush. Ensure your console has the latest system update, If the console is already up to date, restart it by holding down the POWER Button for three seconds, and select "Power Options" > "Restart."

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as expensive as you think (XBone Controller + Play and Charge addon makes it about £60 too!)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2018
Colour Name: BlackEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase
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

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best gamepad I ever had
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2024
Colour Name: BlackEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase
This is a great gamepad that really improved my experience with the switch!
I tried a couple of cheap gamepads before, and I felt that it wasn't quite right, after buying this gamepad I know it wasn't! My skills at mario kart improved considerably with this pad.
I like this pad so much that I even use it on PC now instead of my old xbox 360 one.

It's really easy to setup (just plug it into the switch the first time you use it), really light, buttons are comfortable and the joysticks work with great precision.

Would absolutely recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sturdy controller for people more accustomed to Xbox or Playstation controllers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2023
Colour Name: BlackEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase
After my Joycon's started to display the dreaded drifting issue I thought I'd try the 'pro' controller. Apparently these controller don't have the drift issue, only time will tell I suppose.

Construction
These appear to be very well made and feel sturdy and durable in the hand with a decent weight to it to instil confidence. The smoked black effect allows some internal parts to be visible adding to the visual treat. The charging port feels solid once wired for charging.

Usage
The controller feels nice in the hand with light movement on the sticks which have more travel to them than a joycon. The face buttons (a/b/x/y) all are larger and protrude slightly higher from the controller for more pleasing use in gaming. The shoulder buttons are suitably larger and have reasonable travel to them in use. Overall I think it is much better gaming on this controller compared to the joycons.

Value
At £50 it's about average for a first party controller, time will tell how durable it will be and hopefully it wont develop stick drift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive But Worth It
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2017
Colour Name: BlackEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase
Not a lot to say that hasn't already been said.

It's undeniable that this is an expensive controller - on average £15 more than a DualShock 4 for PS4, but it's also undeniable that it is a very well built controller. It has a good heft in the hand, with all buttons within reach and of a very good size. Some people have commented that it is a little on the heavy side, which is true but for me this is a positive and makes it feel much more solid and in that sense appears to be very well built.

It has the same buttons as the combined JoyCon L and R controllers, and also features the same HD rumble however, unlike PS4 and Xbox One controllers, all of the buttons including the shoulder buttons are digital - no analogue buttons on this controller, so for certain games such as racing games, it will lack the fine control of acceleration that you're able to achieve on the other machines.

For me though, the biggest reason to get a Pro controller for your Switch is that it makes it feel like a full on console, which it obviously is but while there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the JoyCons in the grip when using the switch docked, the face buttons are a little on the small side which makes extended play a little uncomfortable. the pro controller features larger buttons and is more ergonomically designed therefore is much suited to longer play sessions. the battery life is also fantastic, at around 40 hours being quoted by Nintendo.

On the whole, this is a great controller and is in my opinion an essential accessory for any Switch owner. It is a little on the expensive side, but if you're able to see past that you will find it will be worth every penny for your shiny new hybrid console.

5.0 out of 5 stars Controle quase perfeito
Reviewed in Brazil on 25 December 2021
Colour Name: BlackEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Switch Controller
Reviewed in Germany on 19 April 2024
Colour Name: BlackEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase
Der Nintendo Switch Pro Controller ist eine beliebte Wahl für Spieler, die eine traditionellere Spielerfahrung mit ihrer Nintendo Switch suchen. Dieser Controller kombiniert ergonomisches Design mit erweiterter Funktionalität, um eine komfortable und immersive Spielerfahrung zu ermöglichen. Hier ist eine detaillierte Rezension des Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers:

Design und Ergonomie:
Der Nintendo Switch Pro Controller zeichnet sich durch sein ergonomisches Design aus, das für lange Spielsitzungen konzipiert ist. Er liegt gut in der Hand und die Tasten sowie Sticks sind strategisch angeordnet, um Ermüdungserscheinungen zu minimieren. Die Griffe sind angenehm zu halten, und der Controller selbst fühlt sich robust und langlebig an.

Leistung und Reaktionsfähigkeit:
Die Reaktionsfähigkeit des Pro Controllers ist beeindruckend. Die Analog-Sticks bieten präzise Steuerung, und die Tasten haben ein zufriedenstellendes taktiles Feedback, das schnelle Reaktionen während des Spielens unterstützt. Der Controller verfügt über eine eingebaute Amiibo-Funktionalität, eine Bewegungssteuerung und HD-Rumble-Technologie, die alle dazu beitragen, die Immersion in das Spiel zu verstärken.

Akkulaufzeit und Konnektivität:
Eine der Stärken des Pro Controllers ist seine beeindruckende Akkulaufzeit, die bis zu 40 Stunden auf einer einzigen Ladung halten kann. Dies ist besonders nützlich für Spieler, die lange ohne Unterbrechung spielen möchten. Die Verbindung zur Konsole über Bluetooth ist schnell und zuverlässig, mit minimaler Latenz, was für Spiele, die schnelle Reflexe erfordern, essenziell ist.

Kompatibilität und Vielseitigkeit:
Der Pro Controller ist mit allen Nintendo Switch-Spielen kompatibel, was ihn zu einer vielseitigen Wahl für jede Art von Spieler macht. Er ist auch eine ausgezeichnete Option für Spieler, die ihre Switch häufig im Docked-Modus verwenden, da er eine angenehmere Alternative zu den Joy-Cons bietet, wenn man auf dem Fernseher spielt.

Preis-Leistung:
Obwohl der Nintendo Switch Pro Controller teurer ist als viele Standard-Videospiele-Controller auf dem Markt, rechtfertigt seine hohe Qualität und Vielseitigkeit den Preis. Die Langlebigkeit und die zusätzlichen Funktionen wie Amiibo-Unterstützung und HD-Rumble machen ihn zu einer lohnenswerten Investition für ernsthafte Spieler.

Fazit:
Der Nintendo Switch Pro Controller ist eine exzellente Wahl für alle, die das Beste aus ihrer Nintendo Switch herausholen wollen. Mit seinem komfortablen Design, der hervorragenden Akkulaufzeit und der robusten Bauweise bietet er eine überlegene Spielerfahrung, die ihn vom Standard-Joy-Con-Set deutlich abhebt. Für Spieler, die eine zuverlässige, reaktionsschnelle und komfortable Steuerungsoption suchen, ist der Pro Controller eine klare Empfehlung.
