    Very nice feel and grip to them. Had a hard time using the switch in handheld mode with standard joycons. Only con is no rumble.

    This exceeded my expectations. It is very comfortable. The build is sturdy, it's super responsive, and above all, feels good. I do miss HD Rumble and Gyroscope and all the cool things the Joy-Con can do, but there's not a better solution out there for longer gaming sessions in handheld mode.

    I had bought the ergo model of these and absolutely loved them. I also live this model as well, for people with big hands like mine the joycons tend to be a bit small so my hands end up cramping quickly. But these split pad controllers are thick and perfect for playing handheld without the discomfort.

    This is a good feeling controller but it does feel light in your hands. You do get the feeling of an Xbox controller but not as heavy. The controls are very good and recommend this add on for you switch QLED.

    It’s good for bigger hands but has no vibration feature, which is used on a lot of games to help complete games. Could easily be 5 stars if had vibration.

    These are much better to use in handheld than the joycons if you're an adult that doesn't have baby hands. They are not packed with features and only work in handheld mode I believe so take that as you will but for their use-case they are awesome.

    This is great for people with larger hands. I fear I'll break the joycons so I opted to try these out and love it. These are only to be used in hand held mode as they don't have an internal battery to power them independently.

    The size fits good in your hands and it's not that heavy compared to it's looks, but keep in mind that it lacks some features from your regular controllers.

    No vibration but I don't really notice. Love that they can't get stick drift. Makes the switch significantly wider, but they come off easily as opposed to a grip that clicks on to the while system.

    An absolute necessity for handheld play. The other controllers for the switch would make my hands cramp after a bit of handheld play but these have been awesome!

    The weight of the controller is too light and feels cheap. Also, no rumble which makes me question the price point. However, the joysticks are excellent and not too small like the traditional Joy-Con sticks. The size of the grips are perfect and make holding the Switch for extended periods of time far more comfortable. I’m torn on this product.

    It’s good at $25 but not so good for $45+

    It’s not what most reviewers hype it up to be. I’ll start off by saying it should be around $25 it feels super cheap and feels like weak plastic. The d-pad is not all that. It does not work wirelessly and if u have a thin sociable case for ur switch, haha good luck putting these on. Just not a good product for the price but if it was $19.99 or even $25 it would be a good buy. But over all it doesn’t feel like a $45/$50 product. But it performs as it should and it’s not to bad to hold in hand but if you have small hands it’s probably not right for you.
