Unlike some of the really cheap Switch controller alternatives out there which constantly forget all about the console between gameplay sessions and need plugging in again and again to resync. Once synced up you won't have to do it again. The wireless connection to the Switch is super simple and reliable. I'm also relieved the buttons are much bigger than the Joy-Cons' little thumb pokers.
But despite the height of each button, responsiveness doesn't seem to be an issue at all and they're reasonably quiet, especially compared to some of the third-party controllers we've got our hands on. The face buttons are raised surprisingly high from the controller's body and would have benefitted from sloping down or being rounded off at the edges a little. They offer more resistance too (without ever being too stiff) meaning there are far fewer instances of frantically over-correcting precise jumps and ballsing it up royally because the left analog feels too loose, which is a frequent complaint for me with the Joy-Cons' lightweight PS Vita-like analogs. They're larger than the tiny ones on the Joy-Cons and much more comfortable under the thumb. If you're playing a game where any sort of precision is required, be it nailing a drift in Mario Kart or navigating a tricky platform section in Super Mario Odyssey, the Pro leaves the Joy-Cons for dead. Long story short, after picking up a Nintendo Switch Pro controller, the Joy-Cons have barely left the dock on my Nintendo Switch.

And rumble features are often a casualty too. NFC-functionality is very much an optional part of games though, but it's something to be mindful of with third-party controllers as we've noticed most of them don't have this ability. So if you have any Amiibos lying around, you'll be able to tap them on the controller when prompted for a few extras in select first-party Nintendo titles. Rumble vibration effects are present as is NFC-functionality. Motion-controls are available with the Switch Pro Controller though, so you won't miss out on steering functionality in Mario Kart 8 or the slightly cheaty spin move attack in Super Mario Odyssey where you jerk the controller sideways to initiate. So you'd be forgiven for thinking the name is a little misleading. There are no remappable buttons, extra buttons around the back, adjustable weights or interchangeable analog sticks or swappable d-pads.

This is cheaper than those fancier models though to be fair.
