Nintendo Switch - Pro Controller

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is, quite simply, a significant step up from the standard Joy-Con controllers. It delivers a much more comfortable, precise and reliable gaming experience - the sort of improvement that quickly makes it hard to go back to the smaller Joy-Con setup. Build quality is excellent. The controller feels sturdy and well-balanced in the hand, with responsive buttons and smooth, accurate analogue sticks. After extensive use, mine has shown no sign of drift - a welcome change from the Joy-Con controllers, where that issue can be all too common. Every input feels deliberate and consistent, which makes a noticeable difference in gameplay, particularly for longer sessions or more demanding titles. Pairing is quick and effortless, and once connected, the controller maintains a rock-solid wireless connection. Charging is equally straightforward via USB-C, with impressive battery life that easily lasts through extended play. The overall ergonomics are excellent, making it comfortable even during multi-hour sessions without hand fatigue. Visually, it looks and feels premium - understated yet clearly well made. The finish gives it a distinctive aesthetic while still matching the design language of the Switch system itself. Overall, the Pro Controller is one of the best accessories available for the Switch - robust, responsive, and a genuine enhancement to gameplay across every genre.

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

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.

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!

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.

Llego a tiempo, llego en excelentes condiciones, operando perfecto.

Orginalkontroll. Mycket bra.

Official controllers are definitely best. I’ve bought just about every brand of third party controller and none of them even come close to the quality of the pro controller.

Guapísimo!
