I know why the Switch Pro controller is so expensive

My switch will be showing up on release day but unless I absolutely hate the joy-cons then I won't be spending $70 on one of these... I have a feeling that I will hate the joy-cons though (I already hate their name).

if you really want the 'standard' controller, getting a pro should be fine.  bought the wii u pro controller together with the console back then.  would happen to Switch for me once I've decided to buy it.  :)

Yeah I have two of the WiiU Pro controlers (would have only bought one but I made my buddies kid laugh while he was playing and he spit grape soda on the first one making the A button sticky). I like the look of the new pro and hope it really does have a superior battery as I'd guess I'll end up buying at least one sometime down the road.  I just hate to spend that much on a controller.
