"Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Halves Charging Time"

Author : Logan Update:May 13,2025

Gamers, get ready for a game-changer! The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is here to revolutionize your gaming experience. As Nintendo Life reported, Nintendo has unveiled the tech specs for this new gem, priced at $84.99. One of the standout features is its significantly reduced charging time. While the original Pro Controller took a hefty six hours to fully charge, the Switch 2 Pro Controller cuts that time nearly in half, requiring only about three and a half hours. Just make sure you're using the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter or the USB-C charging cable to enjoy this swift recharge.

What's even more exciting is that this faster charging capability doesn't compromise the controller's impressive battery life. The Switch 2 Pro Controller maintains the same fantastic 40-hour battery life as its predecessor, ensuring you can play longer without interruption. Additionally, this new model introduces the innovative C button and two extra GL/GR buttons on the underside, enhancing your control options. It's also slightly lighter and smaller, making it more comfortable for extended gaming sessions.

If you're still attached to your original controller, worry not! Nintendo has confirmed that the original controller will be compatible with the new console system. This ensures a smooth transition to the new system without needing to replace all your accessories immediately.

Nintendo officially introduced the Switch 2 during a 60-minute Nintendo Direct earlier this month. Initially, pre-orders were slated 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 period, Nintendo also announced that they are maintaining the $449.99 price for the Switch 2 console and its games. However, they've raised prices on most Switch 2 accessories, with the Switch 2 Pro Controller increasing from $80 to $85.
