    You can only use them attached to the Switch, the box that I bought didn't make this clear at all unless it was hidden on the back. Who wants that?

    At first I was coming from using the Hori Pro controller's in hand held was great and yes those make the Nintendo Switch really big. I saw these on line and after doing some research I really wanted these. And I must say it does take a while to get use to and once you do these are awesome.

    These do not support motion like standard Switch controllers. This is a huge disappointment as the grip is good.
