    Has to be connected to the device to work. Not a separate controller. Requires a special charger.

    LOVE THE HORI GENGAR

    Ever since I bought a switch OLED ive never really enjoyed playing it. Little did I know the reason that I didnt enjoy it was because the oled grips are not ergnomic at all. Once I bought my horis the experience has been transformative

    Super comfortable to hold in short and long sessions both sitting down and laying. It's ridiculous how much more comfortable these are than the stock controllers. Also even though these don't have gyro, rumble, etc, I can tell you that I haven't noticed any of it missing. Goes to show just how unimpressive those features were.

    Not worth the money

    After just about a month of use it’s already got stick drift. It’s very small, but it’s pretty noticeable when I’m playing a game and I’m just walking backwards for no reason. Doesn’t help that you can’t calibrate these controllers in the switch settings at all. We’re comfy and good to use at first, but definitely no where near worth the price for how long they lasted and how cheap they seem

    Right joycon will not stay connected on an almost new switch. Poor qc control, have purchased from Amazon/best buy and have received several dud pairs.
