The new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller promises to revolutionize your gaming experience by significantly reducing the time it takes to charge. As Nintendo Life reported, the latest tech specs reveal that the new $84.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller charges in about three and a half hours using either the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter or a USB-C charging cable. That's nearly half the time it takes to charge the original Pro Controller, which requires a full six hours.
What's more, this faster charging capability doesn't compromise the exceptional battery life that fans have come to love. The Switch 2 Pro Controller retains the same impressive 40-hour battery life as its predecessor. Additionally, it introduces the new C button and two extra GL/GR buttons on the underside, making it slightly lighter and smaller for enhanced comfort and control.

If you're still attached to your original Pro Controller, rest assured—Nintendo has confirmed that it will be compatible with the new console system. This ensures a seamless transition for existing players.
Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 during a comprehensive 60-minute Nintendo Direct earlier this month. Initially, pre-orders were scheduled to open in early April in the U.S., but due to tariff-related uncertainties, the pre-order date was delayed to April 24. During this delay, Nintendo maintained the $449.99 price point for the Switch 2 console and its games, though they raised prices on most Switch 2 accessories, including bumping the Switch 2 Pro Controller from $80 to $85.
