Pros

The price is extortionate, but for the best controller i have ever used (it's more comfortable even than the xbox 360 controller), the price is worth it. A decent, comfortable controller usable with the nintendo switch and even pc with a little effort...  Read More

Great controller with gorgeous splatoon decals. It has a subtle design and a slightly translucent case. The switch is nice and handy to have for the switch as the ones that came with the switch are a bit flimsy and tiny.

Nintendo switch pro controller is the best of both worlds and has an amiibo scanner to boot. It's really nice to have some eye-candy, if i had to force a complaint about the standard pro controller it'd be that it's pretty boring to look at.

Has a beautiful weight, exceptionally comfortable grips, nice large * and feels very high quality. Only con is after playing with a gamecube controller for so long this one feels bulkier (which is very ergonomic) but the button placement takes some ge...  Read More

Playing mario 3d allstars and some mario maker 2 etc. Rock solid and enhances the game play. Helps with splatoon and other games and makes them easier to play for someone like me that plays xbox on a regular basis. Would recommend for serious gamers f...  Read More

The price is steep but the extra £10 i spent on the splatoon 2 edition was worth it!


It's extremely comfortable, very good looking but the price is excessive.

Packaging/appearance


You also get the huge bonus of a proper oldschool nintendo d-pad as apposed to the split d-pad button cluster on the joy-con.


The packaging did smell like cigarettes though.


Identical to the black version of these pro controllers in every way, except in the splatoon colors for the handles are pink an...  Read More

Competitiveness


Sure could get an 8bitdo adaptor or something but i love this controller.


Very nicely built controller much better than using joycons in adapter in my opinion


The switch joy-con are the worst in the history of video games if you’re holding them horizontally.


The pro controller is so much more comfortable to use than joy-con controllers and a grip.
