Affordable third-party controllers provide broad compatibility with both Switch 2 and the original Switch, plus PC and mobile, and some can remotely wake the Switch 2. Nintendo's $89.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, strong rumble, and polished design, but uses potentiometer-based joysticks that can be prone to issues. Several third-party options cost significantly less while delivering many core features and using more durable joystick technology. Testing identifies a small set of models that balance price, features, and longevity, offering wireless and wired choices across varied budgets.
"If you choose to get an extra controller for your Nintendo Switch 2, you can spend a lot - and get a lot in return. Buying Nintendo's own $89.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller, for instance, will net you the console's only wireless controller with a 3.5mm headphone jack, not to mention great rumble and a slick design. It's not perfect, but it's the total package."
"But it'd be a disservice to you to call it a day there. There are several third-party offerings that are significantly cheaper, yet don't make too many compromises in terms of features. Every controller I've included in this guide is compatible with both the Switch 2 and the original Switch (some can even remotely wake the Switch 2), as well as platforms like PC and mobile."
