The thing is, I play games on the switch in portable mode 70% of the time, so I'm not entirely sure if it's worth the $70 price tag. Though I'm willing to spend it if it's worth it for my current gaming environment.
I would definitely recommend it, provided you can get enough convenient flat locations to use the Switch's kickstand (having it in your lap is bad for your back). In my personal experience the joy-cons, while comfortable at first, begin to cramp up your hand pretty quickly. The grip helps but the pro controller pretty much eliminates this. There's also the benefit of a less vertical layout, which I find more comfortable. The sticks extrude out further and the buttons are also larger, making for better precision. It's cheaper than purchasing two more joy-cons for a 2-player game that needs a lot of buttons. It's also better than a joy-con for its Bluetooth support, allowing you to play most PC games with it as if it were an Xbox controller. Its only real drawback is that motion controls may not work as well with it (though in some cases, like in Breath of the Wild, I find them even better.)
Doing just fine with the Joy-con. Not trying to bash on the pro controller, but at least for the rest of the year and the game I'm planning on getting for the console, I just don't see a reason to spend an extra $70 on a controller: maybe once eBay prices start to go down in a few months.

I love horror games and scary games!
