    I love These!!!! OMG so im in the middle of getting my joy cons repaired and i hated not being able to play. They don't sink like other joy cons so not for the people playing mario party or just dance but if your sick of drift and need a fix or your joy cons keep dying before the day is over get these. And get them like yesterday!

    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.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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

    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.

    Where do i start with this? Hori controllers are a must have for any gamer who has a switch, comfortable to the hold, light and easy to use. And if you are a pokemon fan, well don't doubt it

    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.
