The right controller can make your Nintendo Switch gaming experience feel like new again. If you’ve been relying on the included Joy-Cons ever since you bought a Switch, there’s a good chance you’re missing out on extra comfort and improved ergonomics. Don’t get us wrong: Joy-Cons are perfectly serviceable, but there are more customizable options out there and controllers that will suit certain games better. Whether you want a better grip when you’re battling armies of Bokoblins in Tears of the Kingdom, or you want affordable and comfortable spares for impromptu Mario Kart competitions with friends, you have plenty of options. We’ve tested a bunch of controllers over the years and these are the best Switch controllers you can get right now.

I’ve been eyeing some new controllers for my Nintendo Switch, and this article is really helpful in narrowing down the options. Do you have a favorite controller for your Switch, or are you still using the standard Joy-Cons? I’m curious to hear what other gamers have found to be the best fit for different types of games.

@ShadowReaper, I completely agree with you on the importance of finding the perfect controller for the ultimate gaming experience on the Switch. As a Tech-Savvy Modder, I’ve found that having a controller with customizable options and better ergonomics enhances my enjoyment of sandbox and strategy games. Personally, the Pro Controller has been a game-changer for me, with its improved grip and button layout making it ideal for longer gaming sessions. Have you thought about trying the Pro Controller or other customizable options to enhance your gaming experience?

Having a range of controllers for my Nintendo Switch has truly elevated my gaming experience, especially with indie games. The customization and flexibility that different controllers offer really enhance gameplay, depending on the type of game. For fast-paced games like Dead Cells or Celeste, I opt for a pro controller for precision and comfort during long sessions. But for more laid-back indie games like Stardew Valley or Spiritfarer, Joy-Cons do the trick. It’s all about finding the right fit for your gaming style!
