Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the design, comfort, and button placement of the Split Pad Compact Attachment Set for Nintendo Switch, citing its ergonomic design, ease of use, and improved joystick placement compared to standard controllers. However, customers are negative about the wired connection and the perceived lower quality of some components, expressing a wish for wireless functionality and improved button feel. Many appreciate the aesthetically pleasing design. The price point relative to the perceived quality was also a point of contention for some users.

    I'm disappointed with these controllers. I got the Eevee design and I absolutely live it, the design and colors are beautiful and I love the clear plastic casing. Other than that, I don't like them. The sticks themselves actually feel great, much much better than the Joycons. All the buttons feel mushy and unsatisfying, though, with the exception of the Home button and the Screenshot button (in other words, the ones you rarely press). The triggers are also the mushy, unsatisfying type too. The biggest deal breaker for me is the lack of any wireless mode. The only way to use these is to have them docked to the console, or to use the cable with the included docking plate. Wanna share a controller and play with friends? Too bad. Wanna sit in the couch without being tethered by a cable? Get F'ed. Another missing feature is rumble, they don't rumble at all. I'd totally understand this if they were $30, $40, maybe $50, but they're nearly $90 before taxes. That's just a ripoff, absolutely not worth it.

    Product is as advertised, a little pricy but this specific model gives you an attachment that allows you to use ANY of HORI's other split pads with it while plugged to a USB outlet on your Switch dock. The length is perfect. The design is well done and beautiful. Especially if you're a Pokémon fan!

    These are really pretty and work nicely. They feel great in the hand as well as the buttons and analog sticks/joysticks are nicely placed so there is no strenuous reach. The buttons and analog sticks/joysticks are easy to move and press too. While I really like using these on my Nintendo Switch I don’t like that I am not able to have a protective case on my Switch when using these controllers. The reason being is that part of the controllers when attached wrap around behind the Switch’s screen. I also don’t like that you’re not able to charge these separately, as they do not have a charging port. They will only charge when attached to the split pad or the Nintendo Switch.

    It's a great controller for those with bigger hands who want to use handheld mode as well as when it's in controller mode. A perfect controller

    Rating is based on the black Friday price of $50... great value at that price. A little lighter though bulkier than the originals but so far it works well and there are added features like Turbo.

    Much Better Than Standard Joy-cons (& Lavender!)

    These are better than stock joy-cons in every way, & there’s a LAVENDER option (giving a very good SNES nostalgia vibe). The cord does not disconnect when playing on a TV though, which is not terrible but also not ideal (it does give a good old-schoolness to it tho). & it comes in lavender.. Did I mention the lavender part ??

    This remote offers an easier feel in the hand and puts less stress on your joints in your fingers and wrist. I’ve got really bad trigger finger and the way the remote fits to the hand more with built up handles and buttons on the back help a lot compared to the typical flat remotes you get as the standard. Definitely recommend, especially if you can get it on sale!

    Not as well made as i thought, especially for the prive range. The - button is set too shallow, plastic feels weak, BUT long cord for pluging into dock for play, and ergonomically friendly. Plus bit of a sucker for eeveelution designs.

    These are wide and take some time to get used to. I am unsure if it is more comfortable than the regular joycons, because the buttons are not much larger, just a little more spaced out .

    Compared to the standard joycon, we have some advantages. This product is a little bigger, great for adults. The sticks are smoother. The turbo and underside triggers can be programmed, which is nice when needed. The square design, unfortunately, puts same or worse strain on your wrists.

    I upgrade my switch to the oled model and gave my wife the old switch. She saw these and fell in love with the color. She put them on as soon as she got home and loved the nee look. She rates this product 5 stars!
