Do you think it's worth it?

“The 80 dollar feel to it” so what abt the joy cons they just got that thrashy 70 dollar feel 💀😭

Probably the controller that gets the most use from me

i love the “clicky” of the pro controller, it makes my shooting way faster

Probably my favorite feeling controller ever, pretty pricey but if you can get on a sale get it

I got an off brand of Nintendo switch controller for $30 at a game shop and it has all the features the regular switch pro controller has, motion controls are the tiniest bit choppy but it still works perfectly fine and it also NFC function, and has amazing build quality.Just thought I'd l let you guys know that not everything you buy has to be expensive, because in the end, we just want to play video games.

Emswizzzle: *does an unboxing video* Also emswizzle at the start of the video: "RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX"

Got this as a birthday present and couldn’t be happier to be honest, a solid controller

I like how one of his points is trigger travel, if you didn’t already know the switch has digital triggers (only a press or no press) instead of analog (it knows when it’s in between full and no press), so clicks triggers are overall a better thing, the only upside I could see is setting custom activation depths on an analog controller but to my knowledge, that isn’t a feature on many controllers

yea it’s worth it i’ve had mine for a few years now it’s wonderful

Honestly probably the best feeling first party controller atm IMO. I like the digital triggers and their feel, the very short distance is appreciated since there's no analog compatible games for the switch, so removing any unnecessary travel to make an input is nice. Although I would say if you're interested in getting a pro controller for the switch you might want to look into 8bitdo's recently released "Ultimate Bluetooth Controller" while I can't say anything from any first hand experiences since I don't own it, it seems like it may end up being a much better choice than Nintendo's offer. It's $70 (USD), so around the same price as most 1st party offerings. It has an offset stick layout, two programmable paddles in the back, there's a grippy texture on the back of the grips on it. It has motion controls, basic rumble (sad I suppose but idk that much), the ability to wake the console, a charging dock, 2.4g dongle for anything that doesn't use Bluetooth, analog triggers (can be changed in software to make full presses register quicker) so it can be used on PC games that support it. Most importantly though is that it uses Gulikit's hall effect analog sticks, for those unaware, these sticks use magnets to read analog input instead of standard potentiometers which overtime will lead to drift problems, magnets won't require any physical contact so that form of drift will likely not happen, or if so it will take significantly longer to happen than most modern controllers. Also it uses USB-C. If you're looking into something more Xbox in style you may want to look into Gulikit's King Kong 2 Pro controller.

This is my go to controller.

I bought the splatoon 3 pro controller for $10 more than the original and i will have to say it’s def worth the price

The sticks need motors and the triggers need to go back to being adaptive. I have no idea why Nintendo stopped doing that. Otherwise perfect done to almost the last detail.

Yes, two words: joycon drift.

I prefer the clicks shoulder buttons, it feels way better than having so much time between my press and the controller recognizing what I want to do

Honestly I LOVE how the triggers don’t go down much, its so satisfying

If Joy Cons weren't $80 I would love that a lot more

The only complaint I have is no headphone jack.

Nothing much but my only problem with it is the analog stick. it’s like it has more room with turning each direction whereas the joy con feels more lock and tight but maybe that’s just me. Both aren’t bad though

Went to the Nintendo NYC store this afternoon. Asked about the totk pro controller. Turns out that won’t be sold until launch. All they had in stock was the regular pro controller. Got that instead. I think I’m getting buyer’s remorse.

I got it for my birthday so I don't care how much it cost. Moneys worth 😎

Very worth it. I have one I modified it to light up and it looks amazing, But the controller it self has aj amazing control stick axis, Making it easy to aim in Shooting games

I got one of those transparent ones with led lights and i think it is worth it

Except mine broke and won't charge anymore but it was great other than that.

Got the nano one for half the price and it had to extra buttons on the back. It’s for smaller hands but it never bothered me using. Especially with the type of games played on the seitch

As someone who owns and uses it regularly, the D-pad is a complete deal breaker.

Mine is great although now, it’s got bit of white dust underneath but it’s still playable

The triggers a super satisfying

The triggers are clicky because they're digital, not analog. Xbox and playstation controllers nowadays all have analog triggers, meaning it has variable input which changes based on how far you press them in. Digital triggers like the ones in the switch pro controllers are literally just buttons that are shaped like triggers, they have more travel distance than other buttons on the controller to feel better but they still behave like buttons which have a fixed input. This is generally not a problem outside of racing games though

The dpad makes you walk like you are drunk.

i was in a gamestop yesterday and i was looking at the nintendo controllers, games etc and there was this special edition kirby control for i think 37 euro but the plain black one was 59 euro

I bought mine in January, ever since the pro controller came into my life I became happy that I stopped using joy cons and now the controller is super comfy for my hands

My favorite way of playing on the Nintendo Switch is in docked mode with a Pro Controller connected. Nothing beats it!

I got mines when it first came out with my switch and I don’t regret it at all. It’s worth it especially if you play your switch in docked mode more then portable

I just got a 20$ knockoff, maybe if I got it in a theme I'd buy the real on but as of now, I take what I can get.

Sadly, when i bought a pro controller a few years ago there werent any special edition. I like the splatoon one for my collection (with the switch oled i have)

I found a 12 dollar one on walmart...

I actually own one and yes, it looks great.

When you said “oFFICial” it hurt my ears.

I bought this because I needed a controller for splatoon and I like it but I do agree with the grip, it needs some type of rubber/texture

Just got one, Grey one at that because I prefer the simple look for my controllers (black controller for my Series X, black as well for my PS4)

This controller is a very solid controller the thing about it that’s the best is really just the feel. Its really comfy

I got mine 2018 never drifted still high quality and a good charge i recommend

I prefer the digital triggers over analog ones

Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro Controller crying in the corner:

I want the triggers more clicky and I want actual buttons not membranes. Membranes are mushy and not as consistant. More travel works on xbox triggers cuz there analogue. With digital you want almost none, just enough to feel the click.

Man, I love that $80 field(

For the grip you can just change the shells i did this today and It feels better then ever

I feel nostalgia 😢

The nyko mini controller is really good

Honestly, it's funny because, it's my main controller, but I've got quite a lot of gripes about it. My main gripe is the price, it runs for almost 100$ where I live (Around 95$~ usually). The buttons feel kind of weird, it has some problems with compatibility out of the Switch, the D-pad is *extremely sensitive*, and kind of small too. Honestly, I feel like there could be better controllers but.. as a Splatoon player, I need my gyro.

Bought a £20 8bitdo adapter and use my ps5 controller. Saved myself a pretty penny there.

I have that exact black one

If you have this over the gullikit 2 pro A) you got it gifted(aka as a gift on bday or something) B)you just prefer the stick feel of nintendos over gullikits C) you somehow cant live without the HD rumble Otherwise the gullikit 2 makes more sense, and with the dongle it comes out to the same price. Without the dongle its cheaper than the switch pro.

Surprised he didn't nention PowerA, they do really good pro controllers for almost half the price with neat designs. And they're officially licensed!

Analog sticks could have been a little more firm in my opinion.

I got mine I love it even the cool edition I have the smash bros pro controller

I use the second party PowerA pro controller and I love it

Mine had a drift problem after 4 1/2 years and thousands of hours playing I think that's okay

I didn’t think it was worth it because the Power A controllers are WAAAAAAY cheaper. I never use my Power A controller because the official one is obviously better, but I feel like the price could at least be $50 to $60. That doesn’t quite sound right because of the price for Joy-Cons.

The D-Pad on the Pro Controller is janky in my opinion, since it can accidentally insta-drop blocks in Tetris 99

I got the special edition smb 1 controller it’s perfect the buttons feel good the sticks don’t get stuck drift

If you’re a casual and just want a pro controller that’ll feel better than the joycons, just get one of the PowerA ones, I got one for £20 with a Mario design and although I can imagine the official controller feels better it still feels pretty good

It’s cool, but it’s 80$ you can get a nyxi joy-cons that make the switch joy-cons bigger AND come with its own joy-con comfort holder thing which makes it feel just like the pro controller for only 60$

I prefer the triggers with little movement honestly

My complaint is that the directional pad can misread the directions your pressing

Bros voice is so loud 💀

I got the smash limited

Idk what you talking about it’s super grippy and I love the triggers

Dat GESCHREEUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that the pro controller has a Dpad defect which causes misinputs when playing 2D games and the reason why you should get a special edition is because some of them actually have this issue fixed.

My Pikachu pro controller has these like back a buttons and they’re right behind where my fingers are and I keep accidentally pressing them and it’s really annoying

"get a special edition, is the same price as regular" bro... special edition in my country goes from 30 extra dollars up to 50 extra (for the smash bros one)

I got it for 60 so i luckily got it for slightly cheaper but im prefty happy with it

I wish they got a grippy feel I got it

Used ones are around 50 and that’s probably the better option. The reason why A new official pro controller costs 80 is probably because it also has gyro sense/motion control, amiibo support, and that it’s the more traditional controller of choice compared to a set of joycons. I definitely suggest getting a used but still good and/or great condition Pro Controller for 50$

There is a wired one that is 30$ plus it’s still pretty good

I have it it's lasted me 4 years so far

I have some complaints but feels good

I got a official nintendo switch scuf pro controler so 2 more buttons on the back and costs 50 bucks and it got a feeling like a x-bix controler

8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller was the real win for me Newrly same price but with hall effect joysticks

I’ve had the Xenoblade chronicles 2 pro controller since it released and I love it. Don’t use it as much now that I traded in my console for a Switch Lite but I’ll never get rid of that controller.

You jumpscare me bro

I bought a pink pro controller new for 20-30 bucks, so I mean, it's a win tbh

Dame amount of money for a special edition? I just bought a smash controller and it costed 110, where do you find them at 80

no drift too. at least for mine

I would get one but its too expensive so imma instead get a adapter to connect my ps4 controller instead, cause im a cheapskate 💀

These are only 70, not 80, regularly go on sale, and the triggers are like that on purpose. Games don’t utilize analog on the switch and for games like smash the hair trigger feels way better.

It's £55 in the UK and considerably cheaper at B&M Bargains

Ok if you take the time to use the joycon holders you can get used to it if you have small hands

This man probably hates everything ever

The power a one for 60$ is better if you are okay with no amiibo support

I happened to find a pro all black for 5 bucks at a yard sale

I have a 3rd party controller and it's lasted more than 2 years probably.

Is it just me, or does the procon just never drift? I’ve had mine ever since it came out and absolutely no drift.

I think it’s worth it

Yes it is, and I'm tired of pretending is not.

I'd get the Splatoon 3 Pro controller if it didn't cost way more then a regular one.

YES IT IS
