Choosing a wireless gamepad starts with one question: which console are you equipping? The Pro Wireless Game Controller for Nintendo Switch / Lite and the Wireless Gamepad Controller for PS2 / PS1 take that decision in two different directions. At USD 22.99 and USD 8.99, the price spread is USD 14. The Pro Wireless is built around Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite; the PS2/PS1 pad is built around Sony's older systems and USB PC. The real differentiator is the console you need to cover.
Quick verdict
Pick the Pro Wireless Game Controller if you are buying for a Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite and want a more complete wireless gamepad. Pick the Wireless Gamepad Controller for PS2 / PS1 if your consoles are Sony's older systems or you need a USB PC pad. The PS2/PS1 pad wins when compatibility is older; the Pro Wireless wins when the Switch features will actually get used.

Where each product wins
Where the Pro Wireless wins
The Pro Wireless is the stronger match when your main console is a Switch or Switch Lite. It is the option that pairs with Nintendo's current portable systems and carries the extra controls that justify the higher price.
Where the PS2/PS1 Wireless Gamepad wins
The PS2/PS1 pad is the stronger match when you are playing on Sony's older consoles or connecting a wireless pad to a PC. It covers that older territory without carrying Switch-specific extras.
Product notes
Pro Wireless Game Controller for Nintendo Switch / Lite
The Pro Wireless is the more complete pad for Switch owners. It has a turbo button that can assign rapid fire to an action button, a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, and support for up to eight players. The black controller is wireless and covers both Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite. The limitation is compatibility: it is not aimed at PS2, PS1 Classic, or PC use, so those players won't get much from the extra controls. If your gaming happens on a Switch, the turbo and battery make it an easy fit for longer sessions.
Wireless Gamepad Controller for PS2 / PS1
The Wireless Gamepad Controller for PS2 / PS1 is the straightforward choice for retro Sony setups. It uses a 2.4G wireless connection, includes vibration, and works with PS2, PS1 Classic, and USB PC use. The main limitation is that no battery is included, so you need to provide power before playing. It also skips Switch support and the turbo button, which is fine when the target systems are the older Sony consoles. For a simple wireless pad that keeps the classic feel, this one does the job.
Final choice by use case
Switch and Switch Lite owners: Choose the Pro Wireless Game Controller. It brings the controls and wireless freedom that fit those consoles.
PS2, PS1 Classic, and USB PC players: Choose the Wireless Gamepad Controller for PS2 / PS1. It matches the older Sony systems and doubles as a USB PC pad.
If you play both: Let the system you use most decide. The Pro Wireless is a Switch-family pad; the PS2/PS1 pad is a retro-Sony and PC pad.
