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.
Smash players who want a controller with a compact feel, because it is slightly smaller and the stick snapback only shows up during Smash for one owner.
Players who want a favorite-feeling everyday controller, because it is described as the best controller across multiple console brands with no drifting after years of use.
Switch 2 players who want extra back buttons and wake-from-sleep support, because the controller adds rear buttons and can wake the console from sleep.
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.
That one does not have the Audio jack on it (gaming with headphones is so 2026). It also doesn't have the HD Haptic (rumble) to the controller. Just standard old rumble technology. You also can't wake up your Switch 2 with that controller either. Often times have to pay for the good stuff. 😑
I own every Nintendo,Sony, Xbox,sega,console and I think this controller is the best I've ever had.Also I own this for a years and no drifting,In fact I have two switch 1 pro controllers and had four joycons for 8 years and didn't have any drifting problems.Thr only controller I had had that problem whith was the N64.
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.
I just ordered a switch 2, what would be a better controller than the pro and the 8bitdo?

Waiting for this on sale. Always go with OEM first to unlock their only propriety features and Japanese top quality control. There is a controller calibration on Switch 2 console only for its controller.
