Do you think it's worth it?
Yes
Yessir
YES!!!
100% yes i like the pro controller and it is the comfiest
Yes even because they cant drift
“The 80 dollar feel to it” so what abt the joy cons they just got that thrashy 70 dollar feel 💀😭
After many years I’d say joycons got the $30 feel
@@huddled_up they got that 5 dollar feel
@@heyitsmetahunt they be pulling the 3 dollar feel then got slapped on with a 40 dollar price tag
@@frozenturbo8623 ikr it’s like someone selling rocks for $3 why would I buy it when there’s better options 😭

Probably the controller that gets the most use from me
fr I use mine all the time ever since I’ve gotten my switch
I use it a lot on both Switch and PC, but what stops me from using it the most is the lack of analog triggers and lack of back buttons.
i love the “clicky” of the pro controller, it makes my shooting way faster
Yes, i also love it
Ikr I feel the PS ones go in too deep haha
Probably my favorite feeling controller ever, pretty pricey but if you can get on a sale get it
I never seem to understand why the pro controller is so good of a feeling when yet a older console literally did it better with pretty much everything you need
Get the 8bitdo ultimate controller instead. Comes with a charging cradle and uses hall effect joysticks, so they'll never drift.
@@austinkoeppen6122 what's hall effect joysticks???
@@bruh_ruok4081 Typical joysticks use metal contacts that rub against each other to sense what you're doing with the stick, this works but eventually the metal wears or gets dirty, leading to stick drift. Hall effect sticks use magnetic fields to sense what you're doing. No parts contacting each other no no wear.
@@austinkoeppen6122 I do have a question has there been any other controller like this like for example the game cube? Considering I never expected drift ever dispite it being very old
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.

But don’t throw it, it’s not THAT solid…
Lol
Sameee

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
drift yey
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.
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
bro the triggers are the things that make it better than most controllers wym
Honestly I LOVE how the triggers don’t go down much, its so satisfying
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.
If Joy Cons weren't $80 I would love that a lot more
I’ve had my pro controller for 5 years and it still works the same as when I got it
This is my go to controller.
Yes, two words: joycon drift.
It’s not even a joy con 💀
@@lamo.124 he means the joycons drift so that’s why you should but the pro controller
@@Roxleton precisely
@@Roxleton all controllers get stick drift, but Joycons get drift more often, which is why it's called Joycon Drift
That's why I use a wireless controller, because it's better, than the pro controller
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
I got it for my birthday so I don't care how much it cost. Moneys worth 😎
When you said “oFFICial” it hurt my ears.
The only complaint I have is no headphone jack.
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.
Except mine broke and won't charge anymore but it was great other than that.
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 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
As someone who owns and uses it regularly, the D-pad is a complete deal breaker.
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.
I found a 12 dollar one on walmart...
My favorite way of playing on the Nintendo Switch is in docked mode with a Pro Controller connected. Nothing beats it!
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.
The dpad makes you walk like you are drunk.
Bought a £20 8bitdo adapter and use my ps5 controller. Saved myself a pretty penny there.
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.
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
Analog sticks could have been a little more firm in my opinion.
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
This controller is a very solid controller the thing about it that’s the best is really just the feel. Its really comfy
Bros voice is so loud 💀
Fr
Yes it is, and I'm tired of pretending is not.
Am I the only one who likes the texture on the back of the controller more than the Xbox controller.
The triggers a super satisfying
Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro Controller crying in the corner:
I got one of those transparent ones with led lights and i think it is worth it
the triggers are perfect in my opinion. i wish xbox controllers were like that because they would be perfect for shooters
The triggers are far from perfect being digital only, that means it's at either 0% or 100% with no in between, which is why they can get away with such short travel.
Xbox however has analog triggers that can be anything from 0% to 100% and is why they have so much travel to enhance the resolution, and it's a good thing because analog triggers offers more potential to developers and is very useful for example in driving games for gradual acceleration. Analog triggers also aren't inherently bad for shooters, if a developer wanted they could for example decide to have a gun shoot when the trigger is only pressed 25% of the way down so only a short travel would be needed.
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.
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.
"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 prefer the digital triggers over analog ones
Mine is great although now, it’s got bit of white dust underneath but it’s still playable
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
I have some complaints but feels good
Idk what you talking about it’s super grippy and I love the triggers
It’s way better then the joy cons cause it actually last and doesn’t break as easily as the joy cons. And it’s the closest thing to a normal controller
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
The "Special Edition" one was probably a 3rd Party Controller. Did it have the Power-A Logo?
There is a wired one that is 30$ plus it’s still pretty good
Best controller imo, if it had analog triggers it would be even better.
I got it for 60 so i luckily got it for slightly cheaper but im prefty happy with it
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 $60. That doesn’t quite sound right because of the price for Joy-Cons.
Sadly, when i bought a pro controller a few years ago there werent any special edition. I like the splatoon one for my collection (with the switch oled i have)
I prefer the triggers with little movement honestly
Yeah not liking those adaptors that allow other controllers to function. They work great but basic features like battery level are absent.
Just got one, Grey one at that because I prefer the simple look for my controllers (black controller for my Series X, black as well for my PS4)
This man probably hates everything ever
It’s cool, but it’s 80$ 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'd get the Splatoon 3 Pro controller if it didn't cost way more then a regular one.
I got mine 2018 never drifted still high quality and a good charge i recommend
It's absolutely worth it, it's just peak controller for Nintendo Switch
All functions are there, no need to sacrifice anything (like gyro, hd-rumble, nfc, etc.) and the battery is just ENDLESS + it's wireless and can wake up Switch with Home Button like Joycons
The triggers sticks and buttons could've been like the xbox controller then itd be perfect.
The D-Pad on the Pro Controller is janky in my opinion, since it can accidentally insta-drop blocks in Tetris 99
Yeah but the special editions cost just as much as the console itself so i think i’ll stick to the $80 regular pro controller
If you’re a casual and just want a pro controller that’ll feel better than the joycons, just get one of the PowerA ones, I got one for £20 with a Mario design and although I can imagine the official controller feels better it still feels pretty good
Its much more comfortable for longer gaming sessions than the joycons.
"The triggers feel weirdly clicky"
Me: what triggers. They're meant to be buttons so they click instead of have travel like xbox and PlayStation controllers
I think it’s worth it
Me as soon as I see this video: NO, IT HAS DRIFT. NO
Not the same as joycon, all controllers drift eventually and 3rd party will drift more likely than the pro controller from my experience
I originally got mine as a replacement for my drifty joycons
Pro controllers rarely get drift, only joycons get drift regularly
The biggest pro for me is the battery life I can can charge it once and get months of play for me and the battery doesn’t drain overtime when the controller is inactive, unlock my Xbox controller that can’t last a day even when not in use
But a huge negative is the dpad it’s garbage
I bought this because I needed a controller for splatoon and I like it but I do agree with the grip, it needs some type of rubber/texture
The back buttons are click tie because there are games like Mario bros U and Mario kart, where to drift nobody wants to click the whole button down, it’d feel weird. Pick up a PlayStation or Xbox controller and imagine drifting in Mario kart.
Used ones are around 50 and that’s probably the better option. The reason why A new official pro controller costs 80 is probably because it also has gyro sense/motion control, amiibo support, and that it’s the more traditional controller of choice compared to a set of joycons. I definitely suggest getting a used but still good and/or great condition Pro Controller for 50$
For the grip you can just change the shells i did this today and It feels better then ever
I actually own one and yes, it looks great.
Ye it’s cool but the d pad is horrible; i tried to play an undertale genocide and it was IMPOSSIBLE because if you wanna press left and right in a rapid succession you can’t skip the left - right trigger
£30 would of been the best price for the Nintendo switch pro controller, £70 is like a limited edition controller
Honestly you should use a nyko switch controller. Its cheap and its way beter than the og. It can even connect to pc and mobile
I would get one but its too expensive so imma instead get a adapter to connect my ps4 controller instead, cause im a cheapskate 💀
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
Man, I love that $80 field(
I have it it's lasted me 4 years so far
I have a 3rd party controller and it's lasted more than 2 years probably.
I got mine I love it even the cool edition I have the smash bros pro controller
Idk about anyone else but every pro controler I got the joysticks break after 2 weeks but overall its good
I got mine for $60 and I'm not complaining. For me it's kind of worth it, but I will admit that I prefer analog triggers instead.
If you want to get a really good controller, I would 100% recommend a power a Controller, there's so many designs and it's cheaper
Get a gamesir pro controller it can connect to ur phone, Xbox, play station, and Nintendo switch
Edit: it's only like 30 or 40 bucks and they feel really nice and high quality
I prefer the 8bitdo pro controller. It’s been better than the 2 Nintendo pros that I own.
Just get the binbok controllers, theyre better than the original switch joycons, they have bluetooth, they are more comfortable and have led lights around the analog sticks. They only cost $40. Then you can buy the spine for like $10 or so. Instead of buying a pro controller for $80 buy all this for like $50 or so
For me it wasn't worth it. The Delay and the Trigger are those two and only things, which led me to sell the pro controller at the end.
