It also comes with its own rechargeable battery, unlike the elite controllers, which you have to pay additional funds for if you want a rechargeable battery.
The only downside I can think of so far is that it only has digital triggers. The triggers do feel very nice, don't get me wrong, and they work perfectly for most games. They just wouldn't be as good for some racing games.
It's true. the pro controller isn't cheap. It's $70 for the standard black one, but for me personally, aside from a couple of things, I prefer it over my Xbox Elite controllers, which were way more expensive.
I think I will even start using the controller on PC as well (at least on games where I don't prefer a mouse and keyboard). I am quite happy with it, and I recommend others who haven't tried it yet give it a go.
It is extremely comfortable and ergonomic, feels very solid in the hand, and registers inputs perfectly. The buttons feel great and I like that the sticks are tall and have large turning radii, which results in very smooth camera control and a superb sense of control over Mario or Link's running (the two videogame characters who, for me, achieve a perfect 1:1 relationship between player's input and character responsiveness). If you play Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey, you will know what I mean.
I took mine apart to modify it with the Mascarry Pikachu/Eevee themed replacement parts and I gotta say...I can see why this controller is $70. It is engineered very well on the inside and I guarantee it will never come apart, even if dropped on the floor. Given that it includes HD rumble, an NFC chip for amiibo, and a gyroscope for motion aiming (especially on BOTW) it's really not a surprise that it's $10 more than the other controllers. Given, I'm sure we all agree that controllers shouldn't be so expensive, but at least I can tell you that you're getting your money's worth with the Switch Pro controller. If you have a Switch, treat yourself to at least one of these!
With my last Pro Controller I was out of the time Amazon covered it so I'm returning it to Nintendo for repair. I purchased this controller so I don't have to go without. Really, the Pro Controller is just better than the Switch's joycons. It took me a day or so to adjust to the larger size (for my mom hands) and I can't go back.

El único inconveniente que tengo es el precio. Es muy elevado para un control en comparación a la competencia. Aunque si esta de oferta no dudes en adquirirlo.

Cats knocked it on the floor more than a few times and it's still going strong.
