The best controller for Switch
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their gaming experience. It’s comfortable to hold, with responsive buttons and a long-lasting battery that makes it perfect for extended play. The motion controls and seamless connectivity add to its appeal, though it’s a bit pricey compared to third-party options. Overall, it’s worth the investment for serious gamers.

Q: Does the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller work with Switch OLED and Switch Lite?
A: Yes. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller pairs wirelessly with Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch OLED and Nintendo Switch Lite. On Switch Lite it works as an external controller, so a separate stand or charging setup may still be useful.
Q: Does the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller support motion controls and amiibo scanning?
A: Yes. This controller includes motion controls, HD rumble and built-in amiibo NFC support, so it suits games that use tilt input, vibration feedback or tap-to-scan figures. Those features only work in games that support them.
Q: How long does the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller battery last?
A: The built-in rechargeable battery is rated for about 40 hours of play, with roughly 6 hours for a full recharge. Actual battery life varies with vibration use and play habits, so frequent rumble use can shorten time between charges.
Q: Why choose a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller instead of playing with Joy-Con controllers?
A: The main reason is comfort during longer sessions. The Pro Controller has a full-size grip, larger buttons and a more traditional layout, but it is less portable than Joy-Con and does not attach to the console for handheld play.
Q: Can more than one Nintendo Switch Pro Controller be connected for multiplayer?
A: Yes. A Nintendo Switch can pair multiple controllers for local multiplayer, including more than one Pro Controller. The system supports up to 8 controllers connected at once, but the exact player count still depends on the game.
Q: Can you use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller while it is charging?
A: Yes. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller can be used while its battery is charging through USB-C, which helps during long sessions. It is designed as a wireless controller first, so it does not replace the console's built-in handheld controls.
