The Pro Controller retails at $60 and the Switch Controllers retail at $70. Or you can go cheap and buy a 8bitdo bluetooth adapter and use your PS4 controller.

The Pro Controller is probably my favorite controller of any console ever, the battery life is just unbelievable. I can go a full month without charging.

Msrp is definitely still 70. Frequently it's been discounted via Amazon to around 60 randomly but it's spontaneous.

One or more retailers choosing to drop the price doesn't change the fact that the Msrp is still 70.

Suggested.

Which is relevant in the discussion as that is the max price it's available everywhere from all retailers.

The Switch Pro controller is definitely a contender for best controller ever made, so I think it's worth $60-$70.

Never seen one for $80, but I'd still buy at least one at that price.

I just dont want to pay that much. If I have to replace it in 4 months fine. Maybe when there is a sale/holiday I will get it.

Digital triggers. Like what


this is probably just a me thing, but the triggers on other controllers make my fingers hurt during longer sessions. assassin's creed games, before the formula shake-up, used to be one of the worst offenders, because you had to hold down a trigger just to run. the pro controller triggers are much nicer for me.
