A pro style controller is a must-have if you want to get the most out of your Nintendo Switch, but Nintendo’s official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is very expensive at $70. Even when it goes on sale it’s still pretty pricey at $55-$60. If you want a great alternative that works just as well for less than half the price, check out the Sunwaytek Wireless Pro Controller on Amazon. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
