Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller review – When every move matters, the right controller can make all the difference!

Whether you’re in the heat of competition or deep in exploration, the Switch 2 Pro Controller aims to be the ultimate gaming companion.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Review Pros

  • Matte finish that I swore I could mark with sweat or crisp-laden hands, but no, it wipes right off.
  • Solid sticks that bounce back with use, they feel good with indented grips.
  • You can play with it using wired or wireless.
  • Comes with a long charge cable that is also used for using the controller wired.
  • Very easy to set up with just two button presses, one on the controller and one on the console.
  • Additional GL and GR buttons that can be configured and customised.
  • The buttons have a good, satisfying press to them, especially the shoulder buttons.
  • I have found the battery to be next level. I have used it for many, many hours, and it’s still kicking.
  • The controller has a weight to it that makes it easier to hold and grasp.
  • Led on top lets you know what controller number it is, which will be 1 to 4.
  • Full gyro support along with a good vibration motor.
  • 3.5mm audio jack for headphones.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Review Cons

  • Not always simple to check the battery level of the controller.
  • You have the one thumbstick layout, you cannot change them out, which is more disappointing, as so many controllers allow it now as standard.
  • No real grip or different material to aid with controlling the sweaty hands.
  • I found the home and screenshot buttons were I a place where I kept hitting them thinking it was start and select, but I do have big hands.
  • It’s a very basic controller, no speaker or haptic feedback, it’s just a better basic Pro Controller.
  • Only available in one colour.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
