Switch Pro Controller: The price development of the additional pad

The Switch Pro Controller was released at the same time as the Switch launched on March 3, 2017, and was launched in Europe with the suggested retail price of 69.99 euros. Already a month after the switch release, the proud starting price of the controller leveled off at a street price of just over 65 euros. Meanwhile, the usual price is 58 euros.

You can currently get the controller in the black standard version, for example from Amazon or Saturn for 58.99 euros. If you want the absolute cheapest price, you should wait for special promotions or sales "holidays" like Black Friday. Alternatively, you can find the currently best offer on price comparison sites such as Idealo, billiger.de or Geizhals.

Switch Pro Controller: Who is it worth buying?

With the purchase of the regular Nintendo Switch you already get two Joy-Cons - do you still need the Switch Pro Controller at all? Yes and no On the one hand, not all multiplayer titles work with only two Joy-Cons, on the other hand, the pro controller for longer game sessions or larger hands is ergonomically far more pleasant than the small detachable controllers.

In addition to the ergonomics, the Pro-Controller also offers a real D-Pad and up to 40 hours of battery life - roughly double the Joy-Cons. So even if you don't necessarily need the pad, it is the more comfortable control option in many games. We especially recommend the Switch Pro Controller to players who prefer to use their switch in TV or tablet mode.
