Worth $80?

It’s definitely an improvement over the little joycons that come with the switch. I don’t remember mine being $80 tho.

Not worth it imo, but I actually like the joycons so

I do have two wireless controllers also but they mostly just collect dust.

I don't know about $80... but you can buy it today on Walmart's website for $59 with free shipping.

When I play the Switch, I tend to use it in docked mode. The Pro controller works great for that.

There are some gimmicky features that the joycons can incorporate from time to time, but I generally prefer the controller.

It's worth it in my opinion. I'm not a huge fan of the joycons and the Pro controller just feels solid and well-built in your hand. The battery life is very good on them and I feel like I have better control over just about every game when I'm using it over the joycons.

Just be aware - If you want to be able to turn on your switch 2 with the controller you need the switch 2 pro controller. The original pro controller will work, but it will not wake your system. Very lame move by nintendo.

If you are looking for a pretty solid 3rd party controller 8bitdo makes pretty good ones. 8Bitdo link LINK
