Nintendo’s Pro Controller sits at the top of the Switch controller range, positioned against premium pads like the Xbox Wireless Controller and DualSense for players who want a more traditional gamepad feel than Joy Con. It’s aimed at longer sessions on TV or tabletop, with a solid grip and familiar button layout, and it charges via the included USB cable so you can keep playing without swapping batteries.

Who is this for?

If you find Joy Con a bit cramped, or you play a lot of action games, racers, or multiplayer where comfort and consistency matter, the Pro Controller is the upgrade that makes the console feel closer to a home setup. It also suits anyone who prefers a single controller for docked play and wants a simple charging routine rather than disposables.

  • USB charging cable included, useful if you do not already have a spare cable for your setup.
  • Full size controller shape, better for bigger hands and longer sessions than split controllers.
