Yes the problem is finding a charger that is up to it 😋
I like my joycon grip and pro.
Only dow side of the joycon grip is the minus button position.
I enjoy the joycons with the grip so for me no point buying a pro controllers.
This coming from a guy who bought an elite controller just so I could be better at FPS games.
The light on the top of the controller goes out when it is recharged.Unfortunately I haven't gotten anywhere near 40 hours with mine. Maybe half that on Zelda. Maybe I haven't been charging it fully though. I'm going to make sure this time and see how long it lasts. :
I love the Pro Controller, but I was honestly surprised how good the joycons with the grip feel. Not to much of a downgrade.
I don't know but I don't see why. Mine had this issue but I troubleshooted some more and might have found it was due to using my USB C phone's charger. Did you use the official cable plugged into the Switch, or the AC adapter that came with the Switch?Does the Pro Controller drain battery when the Switch itself is in sleep mode/powered off? Last night it was showing like half empty and when I went to use the controller today it was completely drained.
Pro controller is a must have IMO for Zelda. The only comfortable controller available for the Switch otherwise are the joycons in grips.
Going to mod my Pro Con with Elite analog sticks next week.
i've tried to go back and forth between the joycons and the pro controller. Personally, I don't think anyone NEEDS a pro controller, the joycons are surprisingly comfortable. I just like the pro controller because I don't need to wear and tear the only pair of joycons I have... for now. Considering getting a second one so I can have four controllers. Should be decent for mario kart.
my only issue is the dpad does not feel good, I have resorted to using the analog stick, even in 2d games.

This is the only store i can find that sells official thumbsticks -- http://www.morbidstix.com/microsoft-xbox-one-elite-controller-thumbstick-set/are you going to cannibalize an elite controller or are you getting just the sticks some place else?
Yes, incredible controller. It might even be my new go-to pad for the PC, I'm super happy with my purchase.
You can send it in for repair if you followed the troubleshooting. This is the support page for the Americas, which is the only one I could find for this issue:I've tried both ways.
I've had no problems charging using a standard USB wall charger with the Pro Con's official cable.Does anyone know if you can connect the USB-C to USB-A connector that comes with the Pro Controller to a standard USB plug to charge the Switch on the go (instead of hauling the bulky power adapter around)? I know there are risks with using cheap USB C cables but not sure if that also applies to USB plugs.

I've been 99% split handed no grip. Just though about getting a pro controller last week and can't find one. The split hand is the peak of comfort, tho.

Sure is. Even made a thread where no one posted in.Is it confirmed that Xbone sticks fit?

Yeah, been using the Pro controller cable in the USB port of my MacBook or the dock (although the dock USB ports only seem to actually charge it when it's not in sleep mode for some strange reason), and I've also been thinking of using the USB plug that came with my NES Classic for on-the-go. Keep in mind that standard USB is limited to like 5W, and the Switch uses slightly more power while playing, so you will still slowly drain the battery if you charge while playing. Like I lose 7% while playing for an hour and a half, but it tops up just fine once I put it to sleep (except for the dock USB ports not working in sleep mode).
I've been pretty much exclusively been charging the switch with the cable included with the pro controller plugged into an ipad wall charger. No problems here.

is it mushy like a lot of nintendo d-pads?
I noticed Nintendo went NES Classic route with the controller's usb charging cable.
Very short at maybe 4-5 ft max.

Dualshock 4 controllers don't even come with a charging cable right?
Of course not a big deal. Got a low battery for first time on it though last night, and sitting only 4-5 from TV with a cable the same length is not ideal. I almost pulled the Switch & dock off the shelf only because I wanted to sit back in my chair. Forgot the cable was plugged in.I mean, it holds a 40h charge. Not a big deal.

Luckily theres plenty of third party cables though. And ya, the battery does last quite a bit.
