Customers are saying

Customers love the comfort and quality of the Split Pad Compact for Nintendo Switch, praising its improved grip and more compact size compared to other controllers. However, some users point out the lack of rumble and wireless functionality as significant drawbacks. While some experienced issues with stick drift, many appreciate the enhanced feel and control in handheld mode.

    I heard lotta ppl say they found the JoyCons hard to hold while playing handheld but i didnt really think that til i tried these. They fit your hands so much better then the joy cons. Only bad thing is its missing the rumble feature

    It’s a perfect alternative for playing in handheld mode but watch out for stick drift dont lay your console flat or have anything sit on top of your console that is pushing your joysticks around it well cause stick drift faster than you think

    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.

    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.

    I honestly love these controllers. They are just the right size, but have a slight bulk that makes it easier for me to hold. I don’t know why I hesitated to get these! Plus Gengar is one of my favorite Pokémon.

    The new controllers feel great, giving you a full grip, compared to the much smaller controller Switch comes with originally. Added benefits is the Turbo button/s options and custom button assignment. Only Con I see if you can’t scan Amibos.

    These work like a charm and are super comfy for my hands, as well the D-pad is a lifesaver for certain games. Have had them for some time and they still work wonderfully.

    The larger controls feel good in the hands and the kids love the extra real estate to grip. Lack of bluetooth or remote pairing with the Switch is a downfall, meaning some games that require one controller in the horizontal positioning cannot be played. Kids complain that the controllers have to repeatly be re-seated as connectivity is lost.
