My son loves these he says they are so much easier to hold

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.

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

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.

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

by a mile the best way to play a switch handheld. nice, more compact size without being too small. contour and texture feels like a Series X controller. great d-pad for fighting games. comfy, textured concave thumbsticks with a wide, smooth range of motion. buttons aren't too clicky. no hd rumble is no big loss.

I really liked these. They are more ergonomic than the Hori Split Pad Pro’s. Unfortunately my left stick had a stick drift issue after 1 week. I could have just been unlucky. I returned them for a refund. I might try to buy them again in a few months. I thought they were pretty nice besides that issue.

Feels like good quality. Definitely good for the price.

Great controllers that I never use. Feels good in the hands, buttons feel squishy but work. If you play your switch in handheld mode for long periods and find you hands cramping using the small joycons this is great.

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.

Great set feel awesome in my bigger hands they can’t used separate from the switch but definitely make handheld mode a more comfortable experience and sport my favorite Pokémon which is a massive plus

Great set of extra controls for portable play. Feels cheap because of the light weight but this it probably due to the lack of batteries. Overall the the controllers are very comfortable because of the extra thickness of the grip area and slightly shifted button/joystick layout.

It feels great and doesn't prohibit the Switch from docking at all. The feel and response of the buttons is excellent. Only downside is you can't use them withouth being attached to the unit. But that's not so bad.
