    Love these alternative to joycons. Yes they dont work without being on the system and have no rumble or nfc but thats what i have the pro controller for and i dont really need rumble. I just need a comfortable controller for adult hands which the joycons are definently not. Definently recomended.

    The built quality is good and light. Button is feels very nice, color is appealing too. You can expect a small upgrade from the previous Hori Split pad pro, but in a smaller size.

    Opt in for the split pad pro and compact for alternatives from joy con drifting, split pad pro is a little bigger for big hands while the compact just fit perfectly. Button and stick is perfect in the pro and compact no more worry about drifting

    These are second and latest versions. Thumbsticks are great but notice slight delay in movement with multiple games. First version did not have this problem. Overall comfort is good, love how it changes the look when docked. Overall great controller, buttons have good bounce to them, dpad is good as well. No issues with the dpad or buttons. Great buy, definitely know that these are not wireless controls and only worked as attached. So far these are my preferred controllers when playing the switch. Worth it when they go on sale.

    Cant compare it to its previous, bulkier counterpart but compared to playing with the stock joycons, makes it a dream playing on handheld mode. Cant complain about it not having vibration since that kills the battery life and personally find it annoying. No gyro capability but never playing a game where i would of of had a “better” experience if i did have it. Custm back paddles are a bit lacking due to it customizable to the side its on. Over solid set up and would buy again if i broke it somehow ehich i dont see happening
