Play on the Switch with a Pro Controller.

Pro Controller

Do you play a lot of singleplayer games? We recommend a Pro Controller. This larger controller makes long gaming sessions more comfortable, because it fits better in your hand. In addition, the battery life is about 20 hours longer than that of the Joy-Cons. This means that you can play longer than with the Joy-Con controllers.

  • Thanks to the larger buttons, you're less likely to press 2 buttons at the same time.
  • Because this controller is wireless, you can play from the couch without a wire across the room.
