8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller (Hall Effect Joystick Update) - for Switch, with Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers, 6-axis Motion Control, Rumble Vibration and Turbo Function (Dark Blue)

This is significantly better than Nintendo's own Pro controller. We don't usually use the Joyconns, but this is better than those too. Primarily, this controller has particularly great quality joysticks, and that's important to me. The buttons have good tactile feedback and don't ever stick. The bluetooth connection is strong and connects near instantaneously on either the Switch console itself, or a PC. The battery life is at least the 18 hours stated in the instructions. Usually more like 20+. And the charge time is minimal. Maybe a tenth of that. So 2 ish hours or so from zero to full power. Can be used while charging as well. Force feedback and motion control are also exceptional. One thing that surprised me, the underside of the handles is also covered in a grid like textured pattern that avoids slip in your grip. Tough to see in the pictures. Nice feel and heft to it.For the tech savvy, you can even update the firmware of these devices from 8bitdo themselves. You rarely get such long term support from a 3rd party device, but 8bitdo comes through. Seriously a fantastic company. Those who know use 8bitdo.If I have one complaint, it'd be that the small LED indicator for low battery starts flashing at too high a percentage remaining power. It's on the side facing away from the player, so not annoying. But the device will probably run at least 5 hours after the first time you see it blink.When the kids want to play, gone are the days of arguing to use the Nintendo branded controller. They'd rather play with this one instead. So the Nintendo Pro ends up player 2. I'm confident in recommending this controller to friends, family, and complete strangers. Definitely will buy again. Hope you enjoy.

Works great, and feels very high quality for the affordable price!

For $30, this controller is absolutely remarkable! While I understand that the official Switch pro controller has some specific features that these lack such as HD Rumble and NFC, I find the quality of these 8bitdo ones to be significantly better. I currently have 2 of these, with a third on the way. In all my tests the 8bitdo controllers have provided consistent and accurate inputs throughout. For people looking to use this for PC games, the digital triggers will make this incompatible or ill suited for quite a few of them. That said, if you're playing on the Switch, these are the triggers your console was designed to use. There are far too many third party Switch controllers using analog triggers. The Switch cannot read analog input values, so the extra effort of pressing those triggers down is wasted on it. The rumble that's present on the controllers, while not Nintendo's HD rumble, is plenty immersive and works well. Gyro is also a much appreciated feature to have at this price point. Wake up works quickly for me every time. Don't forget to give them a little shake, or it won't work. Looks shouldn't matter as much as any of the above, but it most certainly doesn't hurt that these controllers look fantastic in every color. I will update my review, if I run into any early wear issues, but at this time, I strongly recommend these for playing on the Switch.

I’ve purchase a lot of controllers for my switch, and this is by FAR the best one!

This is great controller at the price. My nephew also loves using it.

This thing feels so good to hold, the sticks have a nice tension, the D-pad is just mwah, and it really feels quality. It's also rare to find a controller at this price that has features like rumble, motion controls, and wake-on-shake (no Amiibo support though afaik). It connects via Bluetooth and has been working great - I've been playing Mario Wonder with it and there is no lag whatsoever. You have to use a USB C cable to charge it (included) because it doesn't come with a dock but like... who cares? Also works wired with USB if you need to play while charging. Absolutely recommended. Just wish the colors weren't so freaking bland.
