Third-party pro controllers for the Nintendo Switch

Third-party pro controllers for the Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch has several features that people love. The most important is perhaps the presence of detachable Joy-Con controllers that can be used on their own or can be combined to make one single controller. Diversity of games and the Nintendo Switch’s design are some of the reasons people are drawn to this console. However, in its quest to offer so many features, the Joy-Cons have had to trade in a few of its ergonomics. As such, they may not offer the best experience to those who simply wish to play single-player games. Therefore, these gamers are better off buying a Pro Controller. While Nintendo does offer its own Pro Controller, many third-part manufacturers also offer their own take on such a controller. Here’s a look at some notable ones that you can buy from Amazon. Do note that these products were selected based on the features and specifications on offer.
