[8] When fully charged, the battery duration for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller lasts for around 40 hours.

[12][13] A new version of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller was spotted in stores around October 14, 2019, although the only changes to it were slight parts changes, and its Universal Product Code being updated from 104889D to 104889E.

[17] TechRadar and IGN similarly praised the controller's handling, build quality and battery life, but criticized its high price.

On the controller's motherboard, if a player holds down on the right stick and looks closely into the transparent plastic surrounding its socket while shining a light on it, there is a hidden message that reads "THX2ALLGAMEFANS!".

The message was first discovered by Japanese Twitter user Geo Stream on March 4, 2017, one day after the Switch's launch.
