Only here cause I already bought it and I can't wait so I just decided to watch pro controller videos.
Same here same here
And here I am about to buy one today for future games like Monster Hunter Rise....
Same here my friend
Cool never new so many people did the same also I've never had 40 likes before.
Hahahahaaaa saaaame! I've just ordered mine and I'm so impatient 😂😂😂
Definitely a must have. Makes playing in docked mode and long play sessions so much more comfortable
Unless your Nintendo switch tablet starts bending.
Neon PG3D How would that affect how comfortable the controller is
@@RebeccaChambersIRL the whole purpose of the pro controller is to play in docked mode and when your switch is bended there is no other way to play because it over heats to much and well you can play in tablet mode but what happens if the pro controller drifts?
how much is the pro controller exactly I’ve seen different price variations like I’ve seen for 80 70 maybe 60 so I just want to know if so what is the difference
Ivan Rodriguez theres no difference im buying a £60 one
I just got my Switch. I didn't think I'd want a pro controller, but once I'm done with a docked session of like 2 hours and switch to PS4 to watch Netflix, I'm like "Whoa, a _real_ controller" and realize how cramped the joycons feel, even with the attachment pad thing.
Honestly, probably my only complaint about the Switch, but the controller design obviously was necessary for a hybrid console.
The pro controller helps *A LOT* trust me
_Same_
Noah R how do we charge a pro controller?
William Q using the charger...
Fr I have to use only my index finger for the back trigger cause it feels to uncomfortable when using 2.
The pro controller is a must. It has very nice weight to it, rumble, amiibo reader, motion controls like the PlayStation, awesome grip, comfortable even for huge hands, and has phenomenal battery life. I always go a few days without charging it even after long sessions. It’s pricey, but you literally get what you pay for!
i didn't know you could use it without a cable, that's insane
Heard the battery is a tank. Gearing up for monster hunter rise myself
Ya I feel like the pro be a must for that game
Can I use the pro controller undocked with the system?
@@robertsmith20022 yea of course
Definitely
I’m waiting on the Rise Pro Controller Nintendo is releasing. GOD IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
Its only missing a headphone jack so I can game at night from bed with headphones while in tv mode
This. A hundred times this. Don't know why they didn't include that. Does the Switch have any way of doing that by connecting Bluetooth headphones?
@@rizwannayeem with a adapter
My headphones has a long cord. So I can be in bed and still connect it to the switch in tv mode.
@@rizwannayeem i think nintendo doesnt want things like that so you cant pirate the console in weird ways
@@EvertonToledoDeMoraes bro my 2019 V2 switch supports Bluetooth earbuds. You don't need an adapter...i can connect my soundcore earbuds just fine.
I'm absolutely psyched to get a Pro Controller because I've been using the Joycons for so many years now and have realised how much I've been missing out on a controller that isn't actually rushed, cheap and uncomfortable.
I just paid for my first Pro Controller today. (3/31/21). I’m excited to try it out as I’ve been using JoyCons since I got my switch 3yrs ago.
How did it go?
Any news ?
@@2mono7 it’s actually really really helpful. I am still Predominantly a handheld player. However if I wanted to do Table Top mode I can use the controller or if I ever dock which I did for the first 13hours of Monster Hunter ride. I really think it’s worth the money, great quality and the battery lasts quite a while when you aren’t using it everyday.
@@ElementlSynd yes I just replied to someone else. I love the quality, the battery life is pretty good and it’s a comfortable use. Something I will add that I didn’t in the other reply was that I added One of those thumb stick extension things lol idk what to call them I’m sorry. They are pretty comfortable as well using the controller and I use them a lot when I play smash bros.
@@alz397 thanks man
The pro controller is definitely worth it games like splatoon 2 really need it
Facts man, as well as Super Smash Bros too.
seems worth it for shooting games too
I agree
I have been considering purchasing a pro controller, it’s just I’ve had not too much problems with the joycons. If I had money that I could freely spend, I’d definitely buy this, but right now I’m not ready for one. But this video really convinced me that in the future I should get one. Great video by the way.
Yeah same. This video convinced me too:)
I’m watching this as I’m going to get in my girlfriend a pro controller 😂 as one of her gifts for her birthday you gotta warm up so she can get you that ps5 you know 👀
Yeah same. I see the joycons get a lot of hate all of the time but they're pretty comfortable for me. I don't have super big hands so that might be why, I guess? I'm only considering it because of Bluetooth enabling you to connect it to other devices. Yes there's probably plenty of other controllers out there that can do the same, but I don't feel like comparing who knows how many controllers. I have yet to hear someone say they don't like this controller, so I think I should be good with this one!
I'm a PC and Switch player and I use this controller to play almost everything, it feels awesome.
The Switch pro controller is a must have if you play Nintnendo Switch games on tv. It makes a world of difference playing breath of the wild on a pro controller rather than the joycons or any other controllers. This controller is one of the most comfortable controllers I have ever used. Don't pass up the opportunity to buy one, it's really worth it.
I gotta say. You've come a long way man. You deserve it. You may not remember me cuz it has been a few years and different username. But you done did good my dude
Update: Amazon has a bundle of pro controller + Mario kart or odyssey for $108. If you haven’t gotten the games and don’t mind buying the bundle.
I would buy it but I live in a family so I would have to buy it physically.
@@Odds15 the games are the physical edition. The offer rn is Smash+Controller, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe+Controller, or Legend of Zelda BOTW + Controller for $108
@@kiaghods5730, I checked some unboxing video and it's not physical, only digital.
@@Odds15 why is digital a problem?
Mine came in today after owning a switch two years ago. It's a bit big for my hands but it's better than sacrificing my joycons to the drift while playing MH Rise.
The switch pro controller is the best controller I’ve ever have and in my opinion i think the pro is the best controller of all time!
I finally got one for my switch, and honestly I might use it on my PC as well because analog triggers just aren't great when you don't need the control they offer.
Its a nice feeling controller in the hand. I like how the bumpers and triggers aren't mushy but arent too clicky.
The plus, minus, capture, and home buttons are so into the controller and a bit hard to press.
And the D-pad has some issues like registering the wrong input sometimes
Finally purchased. My joy con has got bad drift. And pro controller will be a joy for xenoblade 3
I'm thinking about getting a pro controller and I've been watching reviews and all of them say it's super well made and comfortable
I cant wait to get my pro controller
Just got a pro controller off FB marketplace for $25. Literally almost new, just missing the USB C cable, which I have! Feels great and super comfortable to game with
Brought my son the switch for his birthday but refuse to play it with him because the controls are garbage. He has a pro controller sitting on the bench when he gets home from school and I hope to play some crash bandicoot with him this afternoon.
It’s worth it to me cause I like playing fortnite on my switch and Mario kart. The regular controllers are good for when your on the run, but the buttons are to small for me on the original joy cons
I personally think the pro controller is totally worth the $70 price tag. I bought mine not long after I got my switch. And I've never had an issue with it.
So becuase xmas was yesterday, i got some gifts and one of them was a pro controller! This video helped a lot because i have it charging right now! Thank you for making this video!!
How do you like the controller so far?
A Switch connected to a Mac?
Yo?
Whoah.
So, I had a pro controller for 3 years (December 2017) and it developed drift. (Around November or December 2020 is when it happened) I got a Power A one later on and It had a sinking A button. Now I have an official Nintendo one again. Hopefully if I'm careful enough it'll last longer. I bought it for Splatoon 3.
It's a grest controller very well built and has an amazing battery life. I always use my pro controller anytime I play on the TV.
I can't stand the joycons, Just ordered the pro controller and hoping for it to be comfortable.
It is very comfortable you'll love it
@@palioks3280 Is it wireless?
That introwas amazing!🫶
So by the sounds of it, its definitely a must buy 40! hours of play time WOW and its 100% better than the joy cons obviously and I'm thinking about get one for Christmas.
Have a blessed day everyone :)
@@fcbayernlewangoalski8493 i dont know sorry for the late reply
Jerry Jerry just press and hold the home button of the pro controller and it will wake the switch
Merry Christmas!
@@NT-sx2bd ?
@@n81h8nmountcastle4 u got the controller?
Before I had this controller, playing fortnite on cons I was a bot. Immediately after plugging in the controller and testing out building and editing, everything felt smoother and more consistent. It felt like I paid to win even though it was probably just how weird the cons are when playing shooters
Glad to hear because I can’t even play fortnite with the cons but before buying the pro I wanted to know if it was worth it before paying all that money thank you
@@Otero561 no problem
Mine drifted in less than 6 months. I sent it for repair along with my drifting joycons but they didn't fix it. Turned it in at GameStop and now I got the hall effect sensor 8bitdo ultimate. It's a shame because I really liked the feel of the pro controller. If they make one that's drift-proof I'd buy it
1st off I didn't buy this pro controller when I bought my Switch. I immediately bought 2) 8 bitdo Sn30 Pro Plus controllers. They are the best controllers I've ever used besides the PS4 controller. The are a mix of the Super Nintendo dog bone controller and the Playstation. It is a nice combination. They work flawless on all your devices too. The only thing they won't do is wake the Switch from sleep. It has rumble and Gyro motion control too. It feels perfect in your hands. I bought the Switch Pro controller last night. It looks nice but has some major issues for me. I thought it was bigger #1. The d-pad feels really bad having to reach for the center of your controller. I don't think any controller should have the d-pad on the bottom/middle there. You might as well remove the d-pad at that point because it almost becomes unusable. The right analog stick is way too close to Y and B buttons. I was playing Mario Tennis and kept accidentally hit the right analog and it would make the player do a trick shot. You have to time the trick shot not just randomly do it. So this screwed me up about 5 times during the match. The triggers feel horrible. Its hard to tell which ones you are pressing. The analog sticks get sweaty and lose grip. Overall makes your hands feel cramped and I will be returning the Pro controller. 4/10 for me and I'm being generous because I think Nintendo could have done better.
I am planning to buy the controller to play Skyrim, when I’m on the go. Do you have to plug it on the tv or can u still use the controller on the little screen?¿
Yes you can on the little screen
It’s not heavy price
My recommendation (get probably 2 cuz It will be good)
Smooth wired
Smooth wireless
£14-30
Micro usd (get 180or more)
Get any Nintendo switch is good
Have a good tv too
Btw I got the switch when it just came out even before the switch ad
I just orderd one and I cant wait so I decided to whatch pro controller videos
I really want to get it but when I read about how after maybe a few weeks it starts drifting or the left joystick stops working 😣 I’m just worried that the console wouldn’t be worth for its cost
My favorite thing about the Switch Pro controller is that it is compatible with the Switch Lite.
"But none of them compare to the quality and features the nintendo switch pro controller has to offer."
8bitdo: Are you sure about that?
Pro Controller: Our battle will be legendary!
8bitdo controllers aren't that good, some even outright suck. I have several, so it's not a fanboy thing. I reallly wanted them to be as good as they where hyped to be, but they're not.
@@paxmowa been using my pro 2 since release. Wether I'm playing games on my switch or warzone on PC, I've never had issues with the product. There's a reason it has tens of thousands of positive reviews and very minimal negative reviews. They are well made and don't suffer from drift like nintendos controllers do.
For me it's a must have, my hands are Big and it makes using the grip SLIGHTLY uncomfortable, I can use it for hours and hours but only because I've gotten used to it. I'm getting this controller so my hands have more to grip and since it feels more solid than the joycons.
plus my left joycon crapped out on me, and theres a big D-pad which I love, I cant wait!
I am waiting for it to be delivered.. This video only confirmed exactly what I thought
I've had this bad boy for 5 years and only now did it start drifting. Certainly lasted more than a joycon which drift after a few weeks or months
Do you think it is worth it because idk if u get drift with it. I really don’t want to risk getting it for my birthday and it have drift. I got my switch in 2020 July and in December it had already started drifting , i literally can’t play anything. Please respond to this comment if pro controller really does not have drift i want to know someone who has properly used one
Mine started drifting after nearly 2 years🥲
I have one on the way (talking about switch controller in delivery)
I have HORRIBLE joy-con drift, I can’t play many of the games that I used to because the drift has gotten so bad that I can barely play smash because I just keep jumping and smash attacking, I barely use the switch due to the drift, I’m most definitely getting a pro controller
If the price is too much, I highly recommend 2nd hand game shops or pawn shops even. Super cheap!👍
I’ve also order one because of Monster Hunter Rise. Having playing MHW on ps4, I definite need the pro controller for that game.
I kinda prefer having no analog triggers because it makes them feel a bit more snappy.
I’m going to see most definitely. A huge difference in gameplay
Its a $35 controller for $70 with no user replaceable battery.
I play mainly zelda games and DW8 along with HRW and HRW:AC so it made sense to buy it
I might just buy it sound like a good idea even for playing on my wide screen tv 👍
I was at the store today deciding what to get a $50 Pikachu 3rd party controller or a Nintendo Switch Pro controller I decided to get the switch pro controller and I'm glad I did. I have an Xbox one and a PS4, but ultimately I'm a PC gamer and out of all them this is the best controller out of every controller I've ever used and I can hook it up to my PC so double the value.
The Pikachu was probably power a enhanced wireless. Its worse because it has no rumble, less durability, and uses batteries which drain in like 20 hours. So you made a good choice
If Anton Retro reads this your a legend........I’m Not a bot
I guess I'm a legend now.
Im going to buy one
Watched this after buying the pro controller 😔😔 great vid tho, just subscribed!
That grammar, you basically said you bought the controller after you bought it 😒
@@edwirichuuhdr8885 oops meant to say watched
@@ethanos1602 thx for clearing that out i was confused
Did you fix the mistake
The sync button is very small and hard to press so you don't accidently press it during a game, therefore disconnecting your controller.
Got to buy some Nintendo switch supplies for my console headphones the Pro Controller excetera excetera including a better micro SD card with more storage capacity
you deserve at least 100000 subscribers
The Talking Box faxx
Im about to buy one thanks💯
I'm getting this controller tomorrow, I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get it
@@whomp2822 yah
@@DaGamerPOOP 👍👍
@@DaGamerPOOP did you like it how is it does it drift
@@luiscorral5913 It's awesome and there is no drift, I highly recommend it because it feels really smooth. The pro controller is basically an upgrade from joycons to pro controller.
I just got mine for Christmas!
Does it drift? I am thinking about getting one
Thanks ! I'm thinking it long time ago and after watching this video I decided too buy it
My Nintendo joy con stick is drifting and I couldn’t fix it so I don’t know what to decide! getting this controller or another joy con!
If you want to put in the extra money for a pro controller they are less likely to drift. You can also send your joy con to nintendo to get them fixed for free(depending on where you live)
So wish it had pressure sensitive triggers for racing games to control acceleration better. That's the big problem I have with Nintendo they don't put much thought to the racing players
Idk why it feels so cheap imo. Like when holding it comparing it to ps5 & Xbox controllers it feels just cheap imo idk if it’s weight or what exactly it is but just hate way it feels. It’s best option out the Nintendo controllers just wish it felt more premium in hand.
I currently own an 8bitdo SN30 Pro which I use for both PC and Switch, and I'm considering getting a pro con this Christmas.
Some cons in the SN30 Pro that I've seen:
- the silicon pad under the buttons wear out fast. Haven't reached 2 years yet and my A button already got problems
- the analog trigger and buttons can be too loud especially for intense games like Genshin Impact. Same goes for the analog sticks when you flick them suddenly.
Hope you can help me on this. Does the pro con produce noise like what I mentioned? That will help in my decision. Thank you.
Just get a dualsense and a 8bitdo adapter it just feels better trust me
The joycons are 50/50 power A controllers are terrible avoid!!!!
Il be buying this one today!! As im very late to the switch!! Great video
Can someone tell me if u can press left stick down on the controller
They are more durable than the GameCube controllers
How do the joysticks rate compared to the joyvons for shooters. I'm playing Outer worlds and am finding it hard to aim with the joycons. They feel stiff and unresponsive compared to an xbox controller. Does the pro controller have that issue?
Tell me more about the trigger buttons. Do they have a satisfying click when you press them? Is there a lot of travel distance to them? I want to buy but if the buttons don't feel good then I'll probably end up wasting my money.
I can help if you're still looking for an answer. Zr and Zl buttons feel really really good imo, they have a satisfying click, bit much shorter travel time than ps4 or xbox controllers. X A B Y buttons feel like ps4 buttons, but aren't as clicky like xbox ones. But imo pro controller is my fav controller and feels amazing.
@@bipblingbip443 awesome thanks for that answer
@@steedious np, always.
Does it have some weight to it unlike the powera controllers?
After all the good reviews this thing got I finally bought one. I can't believe how chintzy the plastic is. My GameSir and MOGA controllers are far better quality and much cheaper. It's unbelievable.
Hello. Thanks for the review now I see why people like the pro controller
I ran into a 3rd party controller that is just the pro controller but a little lighter but does the exact same thing as the real pro controller.
the d-pad on the pro controller is one of the worst ive ever tried. its actually incredible how bad it is for a company that has made solid d pads for so long. just thought people should know that before they go buying this for a good d-pad. just get a third party one.
Joycons suck so bad!!!! I bought 2 of them one of them got stick drift & for one the R button stopped working out of nowhere
It is worth! I’d use it when I play on tv at home.
I mean it comes with a rechargeable battery and a data cable. Overall it's probably cheaper than a PS or xbox controller + batteries/cable for charging.
The only downside is the lack of analog triggers (witch switch doesnt use, but for pc users can be a problem).
That's it! Amazing game pad!!
I see that as a win, because I don't play any games where that's an issue and the digital triggers feel better due to being buttons in my opinion
@@elk3407 Can't play racing games (PC Emulators).. But yeah, great game pad.
@@DeadCityJxro Gonna be honest, the only time I've enjoyed racing games is on the wii. I bet if I got a proper steering wheel controller I'd probably prefer that, but that a bit pricey for a type of game I basically never play.
Looks like I'm going to need this for rouge company 😑😑😑 damn cross-platform pc bastards
I also play Rouge company and it’s low key fun
Wow I play rogue too nice
And then there's me who use a dual shock to play on the switch.
Wait that works?
Yes but u need a adapter
How common is the problem with the dpad registering presses inaccurately? Do they all have the problem? I want to use the dpad for 2D gaming but the PS4 controller's dpad is too "soft" for my liking.
Dang. The only reason I even considered buying this controller is because i thought it had pressure or adaptive triggers
Just got the controller pro at pawn america for like $34.00. Im charging it right now and we will see once its charged. Funny is when I asked the lady if its a pro controller she said no, but to me It looks like it. And I just grabbed it.
Great video. How do you connect your switch to your Mac?
Thx! I connect it through my Elgato HD 60S. I then just boot up the Elgato software and it plays very smoothly.
Anton Retro thanks!
My pro controller has a slight "clicking" sound on the sticks, it really isn't very annoying.
It is normal?
It's how it's supposed to be. All console controllers are like this
ohh like the control stick? same here its prob designed that way lol
I own 2 Power A Pro Controllers, Game Cube Style Wireless Controller and Super Mario Enhanced Wired Controller. Both of them have held up pretty well. Is it worth getting the official one? Note: I don't mind missing out on NFC and Rumble.
Just bought 2 today. The weight was the first thing I noticed, and I am happy with my purchase!
Is it worth it? Better then joycons? Does it have rumble? Battery life? I only play mario kart & smashbros. So if you play those games a lot, is it better with the pro controller or the joycons?
@@kxnzo1089 I don't have either of those games (I play mainly Breath of the Wild), but there was a major difference! The battery life is excellent, and takes about 4-6 hours to fully charge once dead. They do have the gyro controls and rumble. Its like a much better made Playstation controller. It feels comfortable in your hands (I have small hands and have no issues reaching what I need to).
The joycons to me are really bulky/ not very ergonomic and it was hard for me to quickly press the button I needed sometimes. Yes the joycons are certainly better than nothing, but I much prefer the pro controllers.
I actually bought mine at a discount (cost $15 apiece) from a store called Dirt Cheap lol. One was fine, and the other had joycon drift. I just took it apart and cleaned the joystick, and now its working just fine. So I got 2 brand new controllers for $30 total. It would be worth it to look in stores like that if you're unsure 🤗
Find me in the comments oh alright cool. Thanks 🤙🏻
Is the procon supposed to have these big deadzones? Really strange feeling having to do like 35% inputs to direct through menus
I bought a switch and am baffled that I can’t connect a wired headset to the controller. I don’t even think the knew switch olded has that simple option that makes life easier. For that reason 9/10 for me.
I'll go for the Pro controller.
I literally had like no choice but to pick one up. My joy cons started drifting really bad, sent them to repair got them back and... they still drifted lol. Got a Power A wireless pro controller, lasted 1 month and started drifting 😂😭. Decided to get a wired Power A controller and it lasted 2 weeks and it started drifting! Fml! Finally gave in and got an Official Pro Controller! If this one drifts imma lose my shit lol
No. ITS NECESARY.
thank you that helped me
Got one for my brother already lol. Just seeing if I should get one for my OLED too
Ilik the proswitchcontler
It fits inyourhands
Dogwood😉😉👍🎮
salivates at the thought of a controller that doesn't fucking drift
also might be able to use it to connect to my computer (unless my computer doesn't have bluetooth) to play more of my legally purchased pokemon games :)
