The original Switch Pro controller remains largely compatible with the new Switch 2. However, the new Pro controller introduces several key upgrades, such as:
An updated HD Rumble 2 system for enhanced haptic feedbackA new dedicated "C" button for GameChat, a feature unique to the Switch 2New mappable GL and GR buttons on the backUp to 50% faster charging speedsA built-in headphone jack
The only downside is that the Switch 2 Pro controller is not backwards compatible with the original Switch console. But if you favor a traditional gamepad over the Joy-Con for your Switch 2, no other third-party controller can match the Pro controller's ergonomic design and full feature set.
Switch 2 Pro Controller Review by Michael Higham
"Since the Switch 2 Pro Controller is a separate purchase—and carries an $85 price tag—it needs to be exceptional. For the most part, it delivers (though those with larger hands might find the grips a bit small). It's a premium product at a premium price. If you primarily play your Switch 2 on the TV, buying the new Pro Controller is an easy decision. It's a significant upgrade over using the included Joy-Con with the grip attachment. The new C button and back paddles also give existing Switch controller users a compelling reason to upgrade. While more affordable third-party options will emerge, that doesn't detract from the Pro Controller being an excellent, proven first-party gamepad."
