The best Nintendo Switch controllers aren\u2019t the ones that come with it. While the removable Joy-Cons included with all non-Lite Switch consoles are convenient given they can be detached for wireless use, their tiny contourless design isn\u2019t that comfortable for long gaming sessions or large hands. And while Nintendo has taken steps to address the dreaded Joy-Con drift<\/a> and earlier quality control problems, some issues persist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In this buying guide, we focus on wireless controllers that are both comfortable and reliable, as well as a few options that come with unique features designed to match your play style. We\u2019re not covering wired controllers that plug into the Switch\u2019s dock, as they\u2019re almost all the same and don\u2019t offer substantial savings in many cases. (PowerA<\/a> and PDP<\/a> make decent ones that will do in a pinch, but they\u2019re very basic. Unless you detest recharging your controllers, it makes more sense to go wireless.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Also, if you buy a third-party wireless controller (as in, one not made by Nintendo), there are certain things that it likely won\u2019t be able to do unless otherwise noted:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
