Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the Hori Split Pad Compact's smaller form factor compared to the Pro (as well as how it's flush with the Switch's screen). If you love the Nintendo Switch Lite's mushy face buttons, you'll love the ones on the Compact. The analog sticks are larger than on joy-cons but not quite as large as on PS/Xbox controllers. The rear back buttons work but are limited to mapping to a button on the same side (left or right). Unfortunately, there's no rumble/gyro/amiibo support either so if those features are dealbreakers for you, then you should look elsewhere. Overall, the Hori Split Pad Compact is a must-have for handheld Switch gamers.

Gift for a person with larger hands. Felt comfortable to the touch and they have no complaints. Still works after gifting probably over a year ago.

Great for handheld mode. I love the original joy cons, but they are uncomfortable for long play in handheld mode. I debated getting these as I never got "not" Nintendo joy cons. But I am so glad I bought them. These are great for just sitting on the sofa or a trip. No rumble, but you don't always need that for games. The trade-off is worth the comfort.

Adult sized controllers. They feel so great. The button are perfect

I had carpal tunnel and tendinitis surgery but still left with some issues if I played my games for awhile. I saw these and had to try them out. I have had zero discomfort ever since. They are the perfect item to help if you have any issues like that. Bonus that they are an adorable design

Controllers were extremely comfortable, build quality felt amazing. Buttons were super satisfying to press, joysticks were smooth and had lots of range. No rumbl isnt a huge deal but No Gyro controls is rough especially on games that use it like Zelda BotW or TotK. I also guess I just got unlucky and got stick drift on the first day so I returned them. I never re bought it also because it didnt fit in my portable case. Wish they here built a little tougher.

Will always use these in place of my Switch controllers. The joy cons feel comfortable in my hand and the back is textured with extra grip. The additional buttons in the back can be mapped to anything. Super convenient in games.

These controllers have made me actually enjoy playing my Switch in handheld mode, which I've almost never done since getting it on launch day. They feel good in my hands and the buttons are really nice, the sticks especially. You lose a couple features like rumble, but not a big deal for me. I have small-ish hands so this is perfect for me, but I think they would be fine for larger hands as well. But if you're really worried, just try out the regular-sized Hori Split Pad!

I can never go back to regular joy cons again. They are very responsive and holding the switch feels good. I can play for hours without my hands getting tired or numb. They did get some time to get used to, about 3 days but after that it was all good! Keep in mind, these are not wireless and can only be used attached to the switch console.

They feel great in your hand for when you want to play handheld mode. They feel pretty well constructed and are great if you want something more comfortable than the joy-cons. The reason I’m giving a star off, You CAN NOT map buttons from one controller to the other. They don’t have a battery in them, so not realizing, I bought them with intent to add both the “X and B” buttons to the programmable buttons on the left and right. You can’t do that. So that’s why I’m taking a star off.

Perfect design for any Gengar enthusiast in your life! Makes playing handheld so much more comfortable, and worth every penny. Only downside is that they don’t fit in traditional switch carrying cases so just keep that in mind if you’re the type to travel with your switch a lot.

They work great, they look cool and my son loves them. Haven’t had any issues

I picked these up as a more ergonomic option to the standard joy-cons and I was not disappointed! The sticks and buttons feel really solid and everything is very responsive. While I wish it had motion controls and HD rumble, these are small sacrifices for a more comfortable grip during gameplay. Recommended!

I absolutely love these they're larger than joycons and work amazingly they also have extra buttons that you can assign actions too.

Much much MUCH better than the joycons. On the downside you lose out on rumble and the ability to play on the go while they're detached. However, as an adult who just enjoys some no-frills gaming during their lunch break, I swear by these. Not immediately shown are two easily mappable buttons on the back (no software needed) that also come in handy.

Got my nintendo switch upgraded with this beautiful split pad.

Absolutley loooove these. Gengar is the best and the extra wide pads make playing the switch handheld even better!

Great controller set with amazing comfort. Slightly smaller than its counterpart, yet just as sturdy and comfortable. Buttons are responsive and the joysticks are way better than the original licensed joy-cons.

This is one of the best add on for the Nintendo Switch accessories I’ve bought I had ordered others on amazon but not the hori and the one on amazon stopped working after a few weeks or I get really bad stick drift. This one I bought from Best Buy, I had this for a year now I don’t have that problem from the amazon brand or third party brand

Super cool , works great the design is amazing and use to connect
