I needed new joycons because the joy sticks on mine had been broken when I moved to a new house. I love these, not only because Gengar is my favorite Pokémon, but because they’re bigger than normal joycons and so much easier to hold!

I love pokemon and when I saw these controllers for my Oled I grab them! The make handeling the console so much better if you perfer to play on its own. They are a bit bulky so if you have any of the switch accessories to keep it safe you might have to remove them in order to fit them. Also you cannot connect them to play. They ate just ment for the concole solo play. I learned that the hard way. I love them. They did comeright out the box with a bit of drift but it went away. Get these for your pokemon lover!

Got This for my girlfriend. she likes it a lot better than the regular switch controller since it fits the hands better. You can play for longer without breaking your hands and fingers trying to play. Also looks super cool

Love the feel of the joycons. They're much more comfortable then the original joycons that come with the switch. The supports on the back to make sure they do not break is also a nice design feature

Very good feel in the hands, both in button actuation and in general build quality. They have a nice weight to them and don't feel like cheap plastic waste.
My only con is that the button mapping is a little unintuitive. If you switch the back button mapping often then you'll probably just memorize the sequence, but if you're like me where you need to change the binding once in a blue moon then hold onto the manual so you can reference it later.

I think they’re really comfortable my only gripe is the blue on the thumb sticks is significantly duller than the blue on the buttons but its not a huge deal.

The joycons were great , they were comfortable, great size but downfall was that they do not rumble. It thought I wasn’t going to miss it but I did . If controllers not rumbling doesn’t bug you then definitely get these !

Let's just say overall, they are an amazing pair of alternatives to joy cons, but you also gotta keep in mind that there is a Setback And that's the problem if you don't mind using these the way they are, then you should be fine but the setback is gyro. If you're the kind of person I like to play splatoons three In mobile or any other game that requires Gyro like Mario cart's. Then these are not for you. Because without gyro, they are pointless, But I could say they are still A good set of alternatives to the finicky and skinny joy con controllers That nintendo offers, but if you can't live without the gyro, then these may not be for you That would be the reason why I took off one star

These grips are way more comfortable than the joycons that come with the Switch, but they feel poorly built. I bought them because some reviews said they had less wiggle and felt more secure than stock joycons but I found that to not be the case for me. Maybe the ones I got are the outlier but there is a good amount of flex/wiggle. Also, the home button is pretty much useless if your Switch is asleep or the screen is off. They don’t have batteries in them so they only work when not in sleep mode

Buttons are soft, joycons are not bulky, very comfortable to hold. Does not vibrate/rumble, which comes in handy when playing some games, but that’s ok.

Feels great The Hori Split Pad Compact acts just like Joy-Con at the base level. They slot right into the sides of a Nintendo Switch where Joy-Con would go, and they draw their power right from the Switch. The grips bring a bit of Switch Lite color to the standard Switch consoles, with an Apricot Red model as well as onel that combines a light gray front with what I can only describe as a kind of sickly yellow back.
