Nintendo Switch™ 2 Pro Controller

The official Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is built for players who want a full-sized, ergonomic controller for extended gaming sessions. Featuring programmable GL/GR back buttons, an upgraded HD Rumble 2 motor, and a dedicated C Button for GameChat, it brings meaningful upgrades over its predecessor while keeping the same trusted 40-hour battery life — now with a full charge in just 3.5 hours. A built-in 3.5mm audio jack adds headset support directly from the controller, and the matte finish with GameCube-inspired grip design makes it comfortable to hold over long play sessions. At 235g, it sits lighter in hand without feeling hollow. Key Features: Programmable GL/GR Back Buttons: Two additional rear buttons that can each be mapped to any existing button input, including screenshot capture. Mappings can be set per game, giving players a practical advantage without requiring button remapping menus mid-session. C Button for GameChat: A dedicated button that opens the Nintendo Switch 2 GameChat menu instantly during gameplay, enabling voice and video chat without navigating through system menus or pausing the game. Built-in 3.5mm Audio Jack: Supports stereo headsets and headphones directly from the controller via a 4-pole 3.5mm connector (CTIA standard). No adapters or additional accessories required. HD Rumble 2: An upgraded vibration system that delivers more precise haptic feedback than the original HD Rumble, reflecting in-game events — impacts, textures, environmental effects — with greater accuracy. 40-Hour Battery with 3.5-Hour Charge Time: Maintains the same industry-leading battery life of its predecessor while cutting charge time nearly in half, from 6 hours down to 3.5 hours. Optimal charging speed requires the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter or a USB Power Delivery-compatible charger. Motion Controls: Full gyroscopic support for games that use motion-based aiming and movement, with no external setup needed. Built-in amiibo Support via NFC: Tap any compatible amiibo figure or card directly to the controller to unlock in-game bonuses in supported titles — no additional accessories required. Ergonomic Design Inspired by GameCube: The grip shape takes clear inspiration from Nintendo's GameCube controller, with the plastic seam removed from both handles for a smoother, more comfortable feel. The matte finish resists fingerprints and adds grip texture. Wireless and Wired Connectivity: Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth for cable-free play, or via USB-C for wired sessions with lower latency or simultaneous charging during docked gameplay. Connectivity & Compatibility: The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is designed exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 and is not compatible with any other Nintendo Switch system. It connects wirelessly over Bluetooth or via a USB-C cable for wired use. For the fastest 3.5-hour full charge, use the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter or a USB Power Delivery-compatible charger.
