    I bought Split Pad to play on handheld. The joy-cons are too small and my arthritis(not really) acts up.

    Somewhat let down by the controllers. They feel very cheap and like nothing is inside them. Expected a little bit of that given that there is no battery or bluetooth so the controllers have to remain plugged into the switch. Looks great on my oled and I haven’t noticed any change in battery life!

    I enjoy the turbo function but wish it worked while docked (the only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star review).

    Unsatisfying to click.

    Bigger sticks and buttons makes portable play much more comfortable. However, the sticks have no resistance and all the buttons are mushy. There is no input feedback; no distinct feel at the end of a "click" which feels rather dissapointing and unsatifying to press. Hardcore gamers that have used any other official controllers may feel dissapointed, especially for $50.
