I know why the Switch Pro controller is so expensive

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.

if you are into fighting games, i think the pro controller would still be the main go-to controller.  played most of my games in Wii U using a pro controller, unless the game need that 2nd screen.  Since Switch and the controller is out of stock,  the earliest I think I'll buy a Switch would be by Christmas holidays, worst case 2nd or 3rd year of the Switch. But would love to support the Switch once Fifa 18 and NBA 2k18 is released, and hopefully not a gimped version.
