Nintendo Switch™ 2 Pro Controller by Nintendo

I’ve been using this controller for a day so far, but already love it. I’ve been using the original Switch 1 Pro controller for the past seven years which was already an amazing controller, but this new one takes it to another level. It feels even more solid than the original version, it’s a bit smaller & the buttons are slightly larger. The original is backward compatible with the Switch 2, but the main flaw is that it can’t wake the console, but the new one does. One nice improvement with the new one is that you just do a simple tap on the home button to wake the console whereas you had to press & hold the home button usually a couple of times to wake the Switch 1 console with the original Pro Controller. I prefer the smooth finish of the grips compared to the textured one of the original & feels very comfortable in my hands. Overall it’s a worthy upgrade from the original controller & was for sure worth the high price .

Veio muito bem embalado, chegou certinho podem comprar sem medo

The Switch 2 Pro Controller is amazing! It feels super comfortable to hold, even during long play sessions, and the buttons and sticks are incredibly smooth. Larger hands might have a little more trouble reaching the rear buttons since the controller is slightly smaller than its predecessor, but overall the grip feels much more natural. The analog sticks are some of the smoothest I’ve ever used on a controller. Time will tell if they hold up long-term, but right now they feel fantastic.

I love the addition of the two extra buttons on the back, which you can map to anything. They make certain games much easier—especially if you’re looking to be a bit more competitive.

The battery life is excellent, lasting around 40 hours, and it charges faster than the old Pro Controller. It’s also lighter, which helps reduce hand fatigue. And with USB-C charging, it’s super convenient.

The only drawback is the price tag at $89 USD. While that’s definitely on the higher side, the controller feels premium compared to third-party options that cost about half as much. If you play your Switch often, I think it’s absolutely worth it.

Controller is great
-battery life single charge feels like it last 40-60 hours
– feels good in hand and is very responsive
Only nit pick is that it is a but expensive

I wasn’t sure if Nintendo could improve upon the already great Switch Pro Controller, but they absolutely nailed it with this! This is definitely what I would consider a “premium controller”, and an improvement to the original model in every way.

The build quality is robust and well made with high quality soft-touch plastic materials that feel excellent to hold. The handles are slightly slimmer than the original model, and they feel very comfortable in my hands. The handles also have a grippy texture that doesn’t slip, even when my hands become sweaty. The ergonomics are very well done here and the overall comfort is truly incredible. I would even put this above the DualSense which was already one of my favorite controller designs.

The face buttons are tactile and feel great to press. They are responsive with no input delay, and the top and shoulder buttons are satisfying with a tactile response and springy pop that feels incredible.

The analog sticks perform well and the thumb grips are comfortable and easy to use. Unfortunately, Nintendo did not use hall effect technology in this controller which, in my opinion, is the only negative I can think of and it really is a shame that stick drift could still be a possibility down the road.

The weight of this controller is perfect, not too heavy while feeling incredible premium in every aspect of the word. There are also pro-style back buttons on the reach of each handle that you can program to literally any other button. It comes in handy with certain games, and the possibilities are endless with the two additional buttons.

I also noticed improvements in the d-pad which feels less chunky than the original model, and feels more precise and comfortable to use for platforming. I tried the d-pad with Hollow Knight for five hours and I was very impressed with the improvements.

Very well done, and worth every penny.
