    These make holding the switch much easier than the normal small ones. My hands dont hurt after playing on my switch, plus they are Gengar and purple and so cute

    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.

    I love These!!!! OMG so im in the middle of getting my joy cons repaired and i hated not being able to play. They don't sink like other joy cons so not for the people playing mario party or just dance but if your sick of drift and need a fix or your joy cons keep dying before the day is over get these. And get them like yesterday!

    The Split Pad series has had my heart ever since the Pro's initial release, but since I have smaller hands, the bulbous back of the original could be straining. Since Hori shaved off a few mms, this version fits better in my hands as well as has the visual upgrade that was needed, much like the DS to DS Lite transformation. I always recommend this controller.
