    Kids love pokemon and this is a great gift for your child. The controller cannot be used if they are not with the switch. Great handling.

    Really nice. Good for the price. But. It doesn’t work with any cases for the main console. That’s a bummer.

    After buying my switch I couldn't really play it cause trying to play with the thin joy cons caused my hands to cramp and fatigue real quick robbing me of my playing time. After buying these my hands no longer run into cramps/fatigue and I can enjoy my switch the whole reason why I bought it. I do recommend these to anyone with hand problems.

    This item has now broken twice - particularly the left stick mechanism inside the controller. I decided to save myself the time from taking it back to the store on the second break, opened up the controller, and super glued the component in place. Get the Mobapads for Nintendo Switch over these. Much denser, heavier and sturdier than these. I could crush one of these Hori pads with my bare hands if I really tried.

    The grip is really nice. Buttons and joysticks work really well too. One thing to note: there are NO haptics, but for certain games, I feel like this is a bonus. Also, when attached, it no longer fits in my slim carry case.

    The Hori Split Pad Pro Handheld Controller for Nintendo Switch is good, but not awesome. It occasionally doesn’t work as expected, but considering the price, it’s okay.

    Hand Held Pro Controller with a catch.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although this makes your switch a little bigger than regular joy cons it does feel smaller than using a satisfye grip. The analog sticks are amazing and the dpad works well enough for 2d platformers. This makes your system extremely light because the split pad pro controllers are lacking rumble, NFC and motion. If you splay a lot of platformers or shooters I would highly recommend this controller.

    Try these before buying new Driftcons!

    Love the thumbsticks and d-pad! I do not have to remove it to dock and over all better than buy joycons. My Satisfye Grip was super comfy to play with but removing it to dock wore out the silicone pads holding it in place and it began to have play or walk out of the grip. The Split Pads to me feel way better than a Pro Controller.

    Good Optional Joycons

    This was a nice set of additional joycons, I ended up returning them because they were incompatible with a case I previously purchased. But, still think they are something that other customers would enjoy. Very comfortable. It's worth noting that these are not wirelessly compatible. They are strictly for another option for your handheld experience. It includes rapid fire and extra programable buttons for a more dynamic game play.

    They run very smoothly with the switch, also it has a Matte cool color. It has very little weight. I think the only problem its that you cant charge the switch in the deck when its attach to it.

    This is really helpful to play games handheld and on the go with the nice D-pad. I am not a fan of the joycons for playing anything but kids games with my kids. For the games I like: roguelikes, action rpgs and shooters you need a good d-pad. For shooters though I am not a fan of the joysticks but for any other genre they are fine. It has a good feel to it.

    Best Hand Held Switch Controller

    Perfect hand held controller for the switch. Thought I would miss gyro controls as I play a lot of Risk of Rain 2 and Splatoon 2 but realized there's so much going on in those games that I would prefer to use them in TV mode. Perfect for Hades and Stardew Valley though. Heard rumor this controller kills your battery but haven't had any issues.

    Purchased this as a gift for my son for Xmas. He has had other controllers the type that can be removed & to be honest he has gone through a couple pairs of those he isn’t as gentle perhaps as he should be with those (he’s eight). This pair on the other hand has been much more durable and the fact that they remain on has been easier to not misplace. I highly recommend this item.

    An almost perfect handheld controller...

    If you are looking for a more comfortable handheld console experience, then you've come to the right product. The joycons do not even come close to how well these feel on the hands. I guarantee you won't get cramped fingers with these. However, I should point out that these Hori pads don't have gyro controls. Had they not excluded that feature this would have easily gotten a perfect rating from me.
