Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Split Pad Pro DAEMON X MACHINA Edition Controller for its comfort, especially for those with large hands. They appreciate the solid build quality, evenly distributed weight, and the fact that it does not suffer from drift issues. While some customers wish it had wireless connectivity and rumble features, they generally find the controller to be a great value for the price.

    Given that Nintendo's QC has gone so far downhill that their office is now in a small cavern beneath the Sea of Japan it should come as no surprise to you that these aftermarket Joy-cons are 181% better than the name brand equivalent. Plus, they're actually sized for adult hands! Imagine that.

    very happy with this purchase, my hands use to cramp up when playing for a long time in handheld mode but with these it has helped alot. the thumbsticks are way better than the normal joycons. the rear buttons are easy to map and very helpful. I would highly recommend these if you play your swith primarily in handheld mode.

    Purchased this item in hopes of relieving hand cramps when playing the Switch in portable mode. It did. Also, having full sized analog sticks for FPS games was a nice bonus and the d-pad feels very good. I think the build quality is great and it is very sturdy when attached to the Switch. Highly recommend.

    This item is great for game play! Really helps having full sized buttons to get the fullest gaming experience while playing most games! The buttons have that click that is missing from standard joycons! Would only be better if they worked detached as well

    I like the no drift on these. They do feel a bit bulky and the back buttons get in the way sometimes but we all have played with them on handheld mode and have gotten used to them. They work good. Recommend for people having issues with the drifting.

    These take time to get used to but they feel better than normal joycons after a bit. Made playing through re4 way more comfortable handheld than with joycons. Took a point off because of a lack of gyro.

    Bought these controllers for hand held play of the Nintendo Switch for an adult, with large hands; they liked it. So did the kids with much smaller hands; great alternative for just about everyone.

    Tied of hand craps grab these. Nice comfortable controllers. Sure it only works when attached but if your doing wireless your docked and should be using a pro controller.

    Other than not being able to play wirelessly these are great! The turbo function is easy to use on the fly. They joy sticks are nice. Better than the original joy cons.

    This is a portable Pro Controller split in half. Hand placement is perfect to play in portable mode. D-pad, thumb sticks and buttons/triggers all feels like high quality.

    Big upgrade for handheld use

    First, be aware that this can only be used for handheld. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about that, but it was my reason for purchasing the controller. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone with smaller hands as it adds a good bit of size to the console and the sticks are pretty large. That said, the sticks are much more accurate and responsive than the standard joycons and the grips are considerably more comfortable for someone with larger hands. My only complaints would be that sometimes the face buttons aren’t perfectly responsive and the home button cannot wake the console.

    In handheld mode it is great. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t work while the system is docked. I got it specifically for ease of use in handheld mode.

    I absolutely LOVE these joycons for the switch. They make it feel like a normal controller which is the best feature IMO. cool other features like turbo buttons and and easier to access button you can assign a different button to. I mainly play my switch with the consol in hand and the joycons it comes with was causing hand and thumb pain, but this has fixed all those issues.

    This product is the one you have been looking for if you like the Xbox/PS4 controllers much more than your Switch and prefer to play in handheld mode.
