Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controllers are being sold for roughly 57 euros on shopping platform AliExpress following a discount of more than 30 euros.
The official gamepad normally carries a recommended retail price of 90 euros in official Nintendo stores and at authorized retailers, but the online listing lowers the initial price to almost 64 euros before additional promotional codes are applied.
Shoppers who enter the promotional coupon code ESNS06 during checkout can reduce the final price to approximately 57 euros. The promotion includes free shipping for orders dispatched from warehouses in Spain.
AliExpress coupon codes are restricted to a fixed number of total uses and automatically deactivate once that limit is reached, requiring buyers to claim the discount quickly or seek alternative code options. Customers selecting PayPal Pay Later at checkout can also access an extra promotional saving of up to 33 euros on their purchase.
The price reduction comes as the Nintendo Switch 2 positions itself as a competitive console option following recent price increases for rival systems including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Nintendo's hardware maintains sufficient processing performance to run modern third-party releases such as Pragmata, Resident Evil Requiem, and 007 First Light, alongside first-party titles including the anticipated remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Controller features and ergonomics
Industry experts have praised the updated Pro controller as one of the most comfortable gamepads currently available on the market, noting that its design holds up even at its full 90 euro retail price. The peripheral features refined ergonomics intended to prevent hand fatigue during extended gaming sessions, alongside analog thumbsticks that incorporate a smoother, rubberized surface compared to the first-generation model.
Haptic feedback on the controller is provided by Nintendo's HD Rumble 2 technology, which delivers precise haptic responses tailored to specific in-game events. The system distinguishes subtle interactions, such as the light clicks of collecting a coin, from high-impact events like explosions or physical punches, with Mario Kart World highlighted as a key title for demonstrating the feature.
Additional hardware features include built-in motion controls, a gyroscope, and two programmable rear buttons labeled GL and GR. Nintendo has also integrated a 3.5 mm analog headphone jack for wired audio connections, as well as a dedicated C button designed for GameChat functionality, which allows players to communicate with friends provided they hold an active Switch Online subscription service.
Battery life and connectivity
The device retains Near Field Communication technology for scanning compatible amiibo figures to unlock in-game features, despite Nintendo slowing down the release schedule for new figure lines in recent years.
Power is supplied by an internal rechargeable battery that provides up to 40 hours of continuous operational use on a single charge, placing the accessory among the longest-lasting console gamepads available.
