    Much more comfortable to game now in handheld. Still fits on the dock with this on too. Dont have to be switching back n forth. Yes, some features are missing like hd rumble and gyro but i think its a good compromise

    Had the Hori Switch Pad Pro, then picked this up. Buttons feel nicer, more comfortable in my hand (6’2 guy here), and made my switch feel more uodated.

    Best handheld Joycons

    These split pad pro joycons are great especially for bigger handed people. They sit comfortably in my hands and I never feel like the Nintendo switch itself is slipping through like with the regular joycons. Especially with the added turbo buttons and the mappable buttons that are on the back make it great for when I play shooter games or Pokémon. Definitely would recommend these to anyone looking for a more comfortable grip for playing in handheld mode.

    If you got big hands like me you definitely need this product because the original joycons are way too small for my hands these fit perfectly and confortable in my hands

    Although these don’t have rumble or gyro. For most games in portable mode they are waaay better than the standard joy cons.

    Really comfy and convenient way to rock your switch. Still lets you use the dock and makes the Switch easier to grip. Also seems stable. I do wish the back buttons would let you map both sides to ABXY buttons though. Makes sense that it doesn't but still stinks.

    They're pretty great controllers if all you do really is playing handheld mode like I do. If you play a lot on the TV they cannot be used wirelessly and they do not have rumble and most of the features that the Nintendo switch controllers have but it has an amazing d-pad and it feels very good in the hands, especially while playing very long sessions I would say definitely worth the money at least for me, the regular Joy-Cons are just too small and just cramp my hands

    Just the best controller option for the Switch's terrible included joy-cons. I wish that Nintendo cared enough to make such a product, but luckily Hori is here to save the day. I wasn't too keen on the last model of the split pad, but these really feels great. The color scheme is pretty awful though. Not sure what they were thinking, it's like a white and sickly green. Hopefully we get some new color schemes in the future.
