    fit great, look great, but no rumble and no motion control. If you're playing Breath of the Wild or any game that requires motion control for puzzles - you'll have to put your old joycons back on.

    The only downside is the stick drift. Probably got 3 months of use out of these before the left thumb stick would hang up

    Although they are more comfortable than the joycons, I need something bigger for my hands. The Split Pad Pro worked out to be what was best for me ergonomically
