Nintendo Switch Pro Controller — Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Edition
Product description
This special edition Pro Controller is a full-size Nintendo Switch controller finished with Xenoblade Chronicles 2-themed artwork.
What you get in the box: the wireless Pro Controller finished in themed colors and a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging and wired play. There are no amiibo figures included; amiibo are available separately.
Construction and materials: the shell is made from durable molded plastic with a matt finish and contrasting textured rubberized grips on the handles for improved comfort during long sessions. Buttons and sticks follow the standard Pro Controller layout — face buttons, shoulder buttons, triggers, a clickable analog stick pair and an improved D-pad — with HD rumble and motion sensors built in.
Size and fit: dimensions and form match the standard full-size Pro Controller footprint so it sits comfortably in adult hands and mirrors the reach and balance most players expect. It connects wirelessly to the console and can be charged or used wired via the included USB-C to USB-A cable. The controller also supports amiibo interaction (figures sold separately) and can receive firmware updates when connected to the console. Overall it’s intended to be used just like any official Pro Controller but with unique Xenoblade-themed styling.

Nice design but watch for stick drift
Great look and feel, but be aware that stick drift can be an issue for some units — you might need to return or replace it if that happens.

Quick delivery, packaging protected the item
The box had a tiny puncture but the controller inside was perfect and worked as expected. I ran checks to differentiate it from counterfeit units and it passed — rumble, weight and feel matched my original unit, and it accepted firmware updates. Item was packed securely.

Replacement worked great after a bad first unit
My first controller arrived faulty, but the replacement has been flawless. I question whether it’s an original limited release product, yet it looks authentic and performs well. The surface texture is a little different and tends to feel sweatier, but I’m happy with the Xenoblade artwork. After 10 months I’ve had no issues with buttons or responsiveness.

Genuine unit but returned a defective one
I tested a unit briefly and it felt excellent, but the one I received was defective so I returned it and got a full refund. I would suggest buying from a reputable seller and checking return options.

Long battery, excellent fit
Used it with my OLED Switch and the battery seems to last forever. Comfortable for hours — I’ve put 300+ hours on it with zero issues. The color scheme still looks fresh and the controller fits my medium-sized hands well.

Fantastic feel, worth the wait
I waited months to get this and it feels amazing. The grips have texture instead of flat plastic, the improved D-pad works properly and the color leans pink rather than red. Only real downside is inflated aftermarket pricing, but I’m very happy with the build and design.

Worth it if you want the themed look
I bought this because I love the game; functionally it matches my regular Pro Controller aside from the cosmetics. I’ve enjoyed it since day one, but it’s mainly a purchase for fans who want the special design.

High cost but very satisfying performance
Arrived brand new in sealed packaging and feels excellent in hand. The price is steep, especially when import fees apply, but the styling won me over. D-pad feels solid here and it connected to my PC with a small calibration tweak — works great with Rocket League. Delivery was surprisingly fast to Norway. Very pleased overall.

Comfortable, responsive and beautiful
Everything about the Pro Controller improves on Joy‑Cons for me: rubberized grips, responsive buttons that aren’t overly clicky, and great battery life. The Xenoblade color scheme makes it stand out from plain black options. It’s my preferred controller for long sessions.
