Community Reviews

The Switch 2 Pro Controller stands out as a premium-feeling upgrade for Switch 2 play, with a slightly smaller shape, wake-from-sleep support, and extra back buttons. It is praised as far better than the two Joy Con setup and even called a favorite controller overall. The main tradeoffs are the $80 price and missing extras like an audio jack, HD haptics, and Switch 2 wake support in some comparisons. Stick drift and snapback are also raised, though long-term use without drifting is reported too, making it a strong fit if those omissions do not matter.

Common Questions (3)

  • Stick drift is a concern, but one long-term owner reports no drifting after years of use. Another reports snapback, where the stick can briefly register the opposite direction when released, especially in Smash.

  • Yes, it can wake the Switch 2 from sleep. It also adds back buttons and is slightly smaller than the previous controller.

  • No, it does not have an audio jack or HD haptic rumble. It uses standard rumble instead, so those higher-end features are missing.

Stick drift for $80 sounds like a bargain

The 8bitdo ultimate 2 is bluetooth. You'll need to update the firmware to 2.01 using your PC.

Y'all are crazy, ain't nobody buying a Switch 2 Pro controller for PC. And anyone recommending 8BitDo controllers for the Switch 2 doesn't know what they are talking about - so many missing features when used on the Switch 2. If you want a controller for PC you should get a PC controller, not a Switch 2 one.

At least recommend the EasySMX S10 or Mobapad Chitu 2 - actual 3rd party controllers that at least try to get a bunch of Switch features on their controllers for a reasonable price.

How does this compare to the original Switch Pro Controller? I use mine on the Switch 2 all the time, and don't know if the 2 version is worth an upgrade

It's a tad smaller, wakes the Switch from sleep, and has those extra buttons on the back. https://youtu.be/cQpltNfKhTw?is=1wAL1-YrBWiBfeB-

Slickdeals doesn't tend to have the right audience for every product. It's every consumer jammed onto every product. For an actual Switch 2 enthusiast this is a great deal. The pro controller is way better than the 2 Joycon setup. I have 1, wish I had 4.

I own this controller. There's snapback(letting go of the joystick at it's furthest point(i.e. left) will sometimes input the opposite direction(i.e. right) as it travels back to its original position), but only noticeable when I'm playing Smash.
