"The GAME:PAD S PRO offers a premium, console experience for Switch owners. Ideal for playing at home, the GAME:PAD S PRO uses the same state-of-the-art Bluetooth connection as the Joy-Con controllers, ensuring full compatibility and a rock solid connection."

Full PR below:​

snakebyte® group, leading innovators of consumer electronics hardware, announced today the launch of the Wireless GAME:PAD S PRO™, a superior quality, professional grade controller for us with Nintendo® Switch™ and one of the first third party wireless controllers to be available for the system.

Expected to begin shipping in Fall 2017, the Wireless GAME:PAD S PRO follows the recent announcement of a second wave of Switch compatible accessories from the hardware group and follows the Company’s tradition of being amongst the first to market with quality products for the Switch gamer. Designed to connect wirelessly to the Nintendo Switch using the same Bluetooth® technology as standard JoyCon™ controllers, the Wireless GAME:PAD S PRO offers the precision control of an authentic console game pad, without sacrificing the ease of connectivity and low-latency enjoyed by Switch owners. High-quality analog thumbsticks and digital d-pad combine with dual-vibration motors, delivering enhanced haptic feedback for the complete gaming experience. Switch owners will immediately appreciate the difference delivered by the high-performance build quality and familiar controller layout, while the integrated Capture Button allows players to snap their favourite moments in an instant!

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries charge the controller ultra-quickly and the Wireless GAME:PAD S PRO also features a user-assigned turbo function to add further customisation to gaming sessions.

“After its impressive start at retail, Nintendo Switch has continued to capture the imagination of gamers worldwide and snakebyte are excited to deliver a truly authentic console game pad for those serious about gaming performance,” said Nick Repenning, CEO for snakebyte USA. “snakebyte enjoyed a successful launch for the Switch thanks to being first to market with a range of quality peripherals for the console and we’re excited to build upon this success with the Wireless GAME:PAD S PRO, one of the first Bluetooth® controllers to launch, and a product that we believe enhances the Switch experience.”

In addition to the Wireless GAME:PAD S PRO, snakebyte will also be launching a wired version of the controller with the GAME:PAD S. Expected to ship alongside the wireless variant the wired controller is identical in build and design, connecting effortlessly to the USB socket of the Nintendo Switch, delivering premium performance for gamers not in need of a wireless connection.

Noticed that there's some more Switch controllers popping up so it'll be like the Switch will end up having more controllers than games. lol

haha yea mun, we will get a SSB edition.

perhaps even a mario odyssey one, and hundreds more themed controllers xD
well, we are talking about Nintendo here.

Here is a picture of the controller I was talking about earlier in the thread. It's actually my in my list of top three when it comes to comfort. I LOVE the rubberized bottom! The Wii Remote + Nunchuck combo and GameCube controllers are equal at number 1 on my list followed by this baby and then the 360 controller. I like the stick placement on the 360 controller better but this thing is a lot more comfortable than the 360 controller.

It's funny that this thread has lasted over 5 pages long and it's not even a very well known brand or anything. Chances are this Snakebyte controller is gonna end up being shit compared to the likes of HORI and 8 Bitdo, and I'd even dare to say that Game Devil's controller is far superior.

If Game Devil sent me the controller I'd give 'em a 5/5 on Amazon.

The Splatoon edition is supposedly a bit better than the original. It looks the same to me, though.

Was referring to the d-pad that it's apparently better. I.e., more precise.

Fixed the weird issue. @T-hug (and others), for future reference, you can use ["plain"] ["/plain"] (without the quotes) to stop :P :) :( etc etc from making smileys.

As to the controller, looks real meh.
