    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.

    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.

    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.

    Is a ver light material, feel low quality, but once you start playing is just different! Comfort since the joycons are bigger, if you have big hands and like to play on the go! This is a must!

    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.

    Ive been wanting new joycons so i dont ruin the original ones that will eventually cause stick drift. These are smooth and the buttons feel nice. Also the color is so clean!!

    The Joycons are nice but they’re too small, let’s face it. Get these and enjoy longer play sessions without your hands cramping up. Got these and haven’t looked back.

    Comfortable and I LOVE the design. Havent used all the additional features yet. But it has not given me any issues yet. I do think its a little pricey for what it is maybe- but as long as it holds up, Im not too worried about that.

    works as expected. The controllers are a larger size than the joy cons and comfortable to hold. Does not have Amiibo support and will not fit in a case but still worth of the price

    These work just as good if not better that the Nintendo joycons my son like these better. They don’t vibrate though.
