I play in handheld more than I do docked (about 65/35), and the joy cons can be real difficult and uncomfortable to use at times. These change that completely. Full sized controllers that are very lightweight that allow you to play comfortably for hours at a time if you want. However, some things to know before buying: -The Pokémon design is $10 more than their standard color designs. Something to consider if you’re saving money. I bought them because they matched perfectly with my red Switch. -If you have accessories on your Switch tablet or dock, they can get in the way of these controllers. For example, my Switch is encased in a soft plastic shell to protect it from everyday use. I couldn’t connect the Hori controller to the sides because my case was in the way of the nubs on the back of the controllers. Luckily, I was able to cut square shapes into my case with scissors to accommodate the controllers. Another problem I ran into was the game case I have on my Switch dock that holds all my game cartridges. Those same nubs on their backs were in the way. Because of those, I can’t dock my Switch without disconnecting them entirely from the tablet. Not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance that’s worth mentioning. That being said, these are great. Especially for those with big hands and like playing in handheld mode more. Highly recommend.

I wanted an additional pair of joycons but also something that resembles the offical pro controller and it does that but without the HD Rumble but the back triggers actually come in handy for RPG'S in making menu interactions much faster. They're lightweight but also feel sturdy. They're very much worth $35-40. The only reason i won't give 5 stars is because the instructions doesn't properly demonstrate how to set up the assign the triggers. I had to just try and accidentally did it right, but other than that they are well worth the budget price for a handheld mode switch lover. Oh the Split-Pad Pro actually fits in the dock too if that matters to anyone. Ps they have a comfortable fit for me and i have small hands and long fingers btw. Hope this review is helpful :)

This Hori Split Pad is absolutely amazing and in my opinion, a must!! I do have to say, I can't imagine playing on a Nintendo Switch without using one of these for the handheld way. The overall fit of it is completely perfect! It is so comfortable and so easy to use. It is very durable and can withstand a lot of gaming. I have easily spent thousands of hours using it to play my Switch and no, that is not an exaggeration! If you are wanting to play the Nintendo Switch handheld, then I would 1,000,000% recommend this. I couldn't play for long periods with the Cons that come with the Switch but with these you will be able to game for hours on end. This is an amazing product and would recommend it for anyone!!

I was sceptical when i ordered this but wanted to give it a shot since these joycons are made for adults/big hands. As soon as i started playing with them i fell in love! The hori split pad pro is amazing for what it is. Which is basically a xbox controller attached to your NIntendo switch. They work great and keep your hands from cramping up after long gaming sessions. I highly recommend!!!

Extreme difference in comfort over the stock contollers. Adds for longer game sessions. Only handicap is these will of course not fit in a standard switch carry case. And they draw their power from the switch unlike the stock controllers so it does drain battery faster. But the comfort I feel outweighs that.
