If you're on the hunt for the best deals on a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, you're probably aware that they aren't the easiest to come by. Since Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers are very popular alternatives to the traditional Joy-Con pair, Nintendo rarely sees an opportunity to offer a reduction on the product, but that's not to say there won't be a discount eventually. 

We've seen the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller on sale from time to time in both the US and UK. Since the Pro Controller isn't often included in any Nintendo Switch bundles either, taking advantage of any sales when they arise is the best chance you have at making a saving.

Is the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller worth it?

If you find yourself playing in docked mode for an extended period of time, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is well worth it. In our review, we called it "a must-have" if you primarily use your Nintendo Switch at home - and it's great for tabletop mode too. It's certainly a premium addition to your Switch setup, but we’d say it’s an essential one to get the most out of some of the best Nintendo Switch games.

Can I use the Pro Controller with a Nintendo Switch Lite?

Not only does the Pro Controller work with the Nintendo Switch Lite, but because the in-built Joy-Cons don't offer rumble functionality or motion controls in the handheld-only system, you actually get access to a number of extra features when you pair a full gamepad to the system as well. That also means you're able to play games that weren't designed to function properly in handheld mode as well.
