Feels great The Hori Split Pad Compact acts just like Joy-Con at the base level. They slot right into the sides of a Nintendo Switch where Joy-Con would go, and they draw their power right from the Switch. The grips bring a bit of Switch Lite color to the standard Switch consoles, with an Apricot Red model as well as onel that combines a light gray front with what I can only describe as a kind of sickly yellow back.

Compare to its previous one, this one feels nice on hand and most of all dont feel too wide on switch. Buttons excellent to use, highly recommend and loving the color

These grips are way more comfortable than the joycons that come with the Switch, but they feel poorly built. I bought them because some reviews said they had less wiggle and felt more secure than stock joycons but I found that to not be the case for me. Maybe the ones I got are the outlier but there is a good amount of flex/wiggle. Also, the home button is pretty much useless if your Switch is asleep or the screen is off. They don’t have batteries in them so they only work when not in sleep mode

Much more comfortable to game now in handheld. Still fits on the dock with this on too. Dont have to be switching back n forth. Yes, some features are missing like hd rumble and gyro but i think its a good compromise

Makes holding the switch a bit more comfortable. Nice design as well. Do wish they worked as joy cons though.

Had the Hori Switch Pad Pro, then picked this up. Buttons feel nicer, more comfortable in my hand (6’2 guy here), and made my switch feel more uodated.

Best handheld Joycons

These split pad pro joycons are great especially for bigger handed people. They sit comfortably in my hands and I never feel like the Nintendo switch itself is slipping through like with the regular joycons. Especially with the added turbo buttons and the mappable buttons that are on the back make it great for when I play shooter games or Pokémon. Definitely would recommend these to anyone looking for a more comfortable grip for playing in handheld mode.

Although these don’t have rumble or gyro. For most games in portable mode they are waaay better than the standard joy cons.

If you got big hands like me you definitely need this product because the original joycons are way too small for my hands these fit perfectly and confortable in my hands

Really comfy and convenient way to rock your switch. Still lets you use the dock and makes the Switch easier to grip. Also seems stable. I do wish the back buttons would let you map both sides to ABXY buttons though. Makes sense that it doesn't but still stinks.

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

They're pretty great controllers if all you do really is playing handheld mode like I do. If you play a lot on the TV they cannot be used wirelessly and they do not have rumble and most of the features that the Nintendo switch controllers have but it has an amazing d-pad and it feels very good in the hands, especially while playing very long sessions I would say definitely worth the money at least for me, the regular Joy-Cons are just too small and just cramp my hands
