Gamers, get ready for a significant upgrade with the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. As reported by Nintendo Life, Nintendo has revealed the tech specs for this new $84.99 accessory, and it's a game-changer. The charging time for the Switch 2 Pro Controller is now just three-and-a-half hours when using the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter or the USB-C charging cable. That's nearly half the time it takes to charge the original Pro Controller, which requires a full six hours.
The best part? This faster charging doesn't compromise the Pro Controller's impressive battery life. The Switch 2 Pro Controller maintains the same fantastic 40-hour battery life as its predecessor. Additionally, it introduces the new C button and includes two extra GL/GR buttons on the underside. It's also slightly lighter and smaller, enhancing your gaming experience without sacrificing comfort or functionality.

If you're attached to your original controller, you'll be pleased to know that Nintendo has confirmed the original controller will be compatible with the new console system. This means you can continue using your favorite gear with the latest technology.
Nintendo officially unveiled 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, Nintendo has delayed the pre-order date to April 24. Despite the delay, Nintendo has kept the $449.99 price point for the Switch 2 console and its games, though they've raised prices on most Switch 2 accessories, with the Switch 2 Pro Controller now costing $85, up from $80.
