    I had bought the first edition of these pads made by hori and while they were great, they were still a bit bulky! When I saw the reveal for these, I knew I had to get them and they are well worth the money considering the joy con can be a bit uncomfortable for long play sessions.

    These controllers don’t have the motion control but are perfect for handheld mode. At least for people like me who have mid sized hands its great! My hands don’t cramp as much as with the joy cons. The back triggers aee a nice addition and there’s also a turbo mode tho not much use for them.

    Perfect gift at the perfect time for my sister, who loves Pokemon and her switch controllers weren't working. Added the fact that it has turbo functionality, this will speed run her through any game.

    Its Gengar. The best Pokémon. I love the feel of Split Pad Compact. Would purchase again and hoard every copy if I had the money. 10 out of 10. Legends Z-A will be a horrible game.

    The grips have a good quality to them despite them being pretty light. Its a shame that they aren't wireless or have all the bells and whistles of an ordinary Joy-Con, but they are so much more comfortable to hold!

    They were fine. Comfortable to hold and all that but they don't have an internal battery (I overlooked that when I read the description, that's in me) and the inputs felt like they lagged just a touch. Ultimately ended up returning for originals

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
