> 3 dayI do really like this controller. Its heavy, seems super sturdy, and connects to the Switch right away. I just wish the joysticks were more stiff. Its just to easy to move, and for trying to be super precise that doesnt help. But Im still enjoying it.

> 3 dayIve used 3rd party ones that havent worked well, and Ive used 3rd party ones that I like better than this. But this one is still very good. Connected easily, and the weight of it is nice. What I dont like is that it seems to have a dead battery every time I go to use it. I think It is constantly trying to connect even when it isnt in your hands. It needs to have an off switch or something.

> 3 dayThe feel of this controller is amazing, it essentially just molds into your hand. Its about the size of an XBox One controller, however I like the feeling of this controller a little bit better. Ive had no issues connecting it to my switch and I use this controller every time I play my steam games. It feels so much better to hold in your hands compare to the joy-cons or even the joy-con accessory that combines the two controllers into one. That being said, the pro controller is not *essential* to own, especially if you have smaller hands. But once you pick up and use this controller, youll never want to go back to the joy-cons again!

Greater than one weekGreat quality but probably overpriced. Doesn’t feel quite as good in the hand as ps5 or any xbox controller. Still solid though and the best way to play on switch.

> 3 dayI’ve had too many problems with joycons and needed something sturdier. The battery life on this is really good. I can play hours and not think about charging it. I’ve noticed that when I tap the right stick in a direction, sometimes it misreads the input as the opposite direction because the spring will bounce the stick back too fast and hard. (So instead of reading my input, it reads the recoil from the stock bouncing back.)

> 3 dayAs a guy with big hands, playing on the little joy-cons can sometimes be very uncomfortable. That problem is alleviated with this controller. I highly recommend this product. Especially if you’re more used to the feel of, say, an Xbox controller.

> 3 dayBought this to replace a pro controller that is suffering drift. Great controller but only four starts due to other controller being two years old and having drift.

> 3 dayIf you see yourself playing the Switch primarily at home on the TV, this controller is definitely worth the investment. So far Ive used it for LoZ:Breath of the Wild and the Splatoon 2 global testfire, and with both games I have had no problems with any features (gyro aiming, amiibo scanning, triggers, d-pad, control stick, buttons, etc.). The controller is a tad expensive, but since I primarily play on my TV, I already feel like its worth the money Ive spent. Compared to just the joycons, the buttons, sticks, and triggers are much more comfortable, particularly the size of the buttons and the placement of the the sticks. If I had to rank controllers, it would be among the top, or at the very least above the WiiU pro and GameCube controllers. Now I just hope there are many more games coming to the Switch so I can continue to enjoy this great controller for years to come.

> 3 dayWhile a bit expensive, this is the nicest controller I have ever owned. The build quality is excellent, and thank goodness Nintendo didnt cheap out and put a stupid micro USB port on this controller. I am really happy I pulled the trigger on this instead of getting a cheaper alternative. While the joycon grip is ok, I think its worth it to spend $65 to buy this. It comes with a 6 foot USB C to USB A cable so you can charge it with the switch dock. The HD rumble is awesome and so are the motion controls. It has NFC too for amibo but do people even use that feature? So there is lots of tech packed into this hardware and I believe it justifies its price tag.
