The best Nintendo Switch controllers for 2025

If you’d prefer to kit out your system with a PlayStation-style controller, then you can’t go wrong with this retro-style gamepad that copies the general button layout of a classic SNES controller in a variety of colors. Even though it’s retro-styled, it’s not old fashioned in any way. It has lots of modern features, like twin thumb sticks, palm grips, back buttons, control remapping and even sensitivity adjustments. It’s the Swiss Army knife of Switch controllers – or any system, since it’s also compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, Raspberry Pi and even the Steam Deck. Even non-Switch players should keep this gamepad in their toolkit.
