Editor\u2019s note: <\/strong>Amazon\u2019s fall Prime Day event<\/a> kicks off on October 7th; however, if you want to shop ahead of the two-day sale, we\u2019ve rounded up the best early Prime Day deals<\/a> you can already get.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you choose to get an extra controller for your Nintendo Switch 2, you can spend a lot \u2014 and get a lot in return. Buying Nintendo\u2019s own $89.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller<\/a>, for instance, will net you the console\u2019s only <\/strong>wireless controller with a 3.5mm headphone jack, not to mention great rumble and a slick design. It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s the total package<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it\u2019d be a disservice to you to call it a day there. There are several third-party offerings that are significantly cheaper, yet don\u2019t make too many compromises in terms of features. I\u2019ve spent time testing a handful of them, and there\u2019s a small batch of models that I think will satisfy most people, with a range of styles, prices, and features.<\/p>\n

Every controller I\u2019ve included in this guide is compatible with both the Switch 2 and original Switch (some can even remotely wake the Switch 2), as well as platforms like PC and mobile. Each offering also includes better, longer-lasting joystick technology than you\u2019ll get with Nintendo\u2019s flagship controller; the Switch 2 Pro Controller\u2019s potentiometer-based joysticks are prone to degradation over time, after all, but our picks include either Hall effect or TMR joysticks.<\/p>\n

The best Switch 2 controller for most people<\/h2>\n
