Why buy a Pro Controller?
If you play competitively or prefer a more comfortable grip for longer sessions, the Pro Controller gives a noticeable improvement over Joy-Cons.
Tips
- Check compatibility and firmware updates after purchase.
- Consider third-party controllers only from reputable brands for warranty support.
Practical Notes
For competitive players, check the polling rate and remapping options — small settings can reduce input lag. Battery performance is solid but replaceable batteries are worth considering for long sessions.
If possible, test ergonomics in-store; controller comfort is subjective and can vary a lot between users.
