The new controllers feel great, giving you a full grip, compared to the much smaller controller Switch comes with originally. Added benefits is the Turbo button/s options and custom button assignment. Only Con I see if you can’t scan Amibos.

Where do i start with this? Hori controllers are a must have for any gamer who has a switch, comfortable to the hold, light and easy to use. And if you are a pokemon fan, well don't doubt it

by a mile the best way to play a switch handheld. nice, more compact size without being too small. contour and texture feels like a Series X controller. great d-pad for fighting games. comfy, textured concave thumbsticks with a wide, smooth range of motion. buttons aren't too clicky. no hd rumble is no big loss.

I really liked these. They are more ergonomic than the Hori Split Pad Pro’s. Unfortunately my left stick had a stick drift issue after 1 week. I could have just been unlucky. I returned them for a refund. I might try to buy them again in a few months. I thought they were pretty nice besides that issue.

Great controllers that I never use. Feels good in the hands, buttons feel squishy but work. If you play your switch in handheld mode for long periods and find you hands cramping using the small joycons this is great.

These work like a charm and are super comfy for my hands, as well the D-pad is a lifesaver for certain games. Have had them for some time and they still work wonderfully.

Great set feel awesome in my bigger hands they can’t used separate from the switch but definitely make handheld mode a more comfortable experience and sport my favorite Pokémon which is a massive plus

Great Extra Set for Portable Mode

Great set of extra controls for portable play. Feels cheap because of the light weight but this it probably due to the lack of batteries. Overall the the controllers are very comfortable because of the extra thickness of the grip area and slightly shifted button/joystick layout.

So far so good. They fit nicely and don't pop off easily. We are not a big gamer family, as in we play like once a month if that. But every button works as it should.

It feels great and doesn't prohibit the Switch from docking at all. The feel and response of the buttons is excellent. Only downside is you can't use them withouth being attached to the unit. But that's not so bad.

These are amazing controllers! I love them in hand but the only thing I don’t like is I can’t use them if they aren’t on the switch screen.

These are the most comfortable split pads for the Nintendo switch. If you are a gamer on the go, these are perfect for you!! I have arthritis and when I play with these, it’s like my hands never get tired

Great addition to switch! Better than the joycons even though they lack motion control or rumble. My sons love them too and the controls are better feeling.

Great replacement controllers for the joy cons. These are so much more comfortable than the joy cons. What they lose in wireless capability they more than make up for in comfort and durability.
