The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is a traditional controller for the Nintendo Switch, similar to the Classic Controller Pro and Wii U Pro Controller in past systems.

Unlike past Pro controllers, the Switch Pro controller carries over most functionality found in its system's main control set up. Not only does it have a capture button, it also features the gyro-motion controls, amiibo support, and HD-rumble found in the Joy-Con Controllers.

While its shape is generally a unique, rounded rectangular shape, its layout is reminiscent to that of a Xbox or GameCube controller with the right analog stick on the bottom and the left stick on the top.

The controller is chargeable via USB-C cable, similar to the charging Joy-con grip.

Trivia

  • The Switch Pro Controller is the first Pro controller to feature motion control.
  • It is the first Pro controller to contain face inputs that are each unique in size and or form from its respective system's primary controller (besides the share and home buttons).
  • The Switch Pro Controller is currently the only first party Switch Controller that features a traditional D-pad, although the handheld Nintendo Switch Lite features one as well.
