Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the comfort, size, and grip of the Split Pad Pro for Nintendo Switch, frequently citing its improved feel and quality compared to standard Joy-Cons. A significant advantage mentioned is the reduction in joystick drift issues. However, some customers noted the lack of rumble and gyro features as drawbacks. The battery life was also mentioned as a potential concern by a few users.

    These controlls are the best. You can handle every game very easy in the switch.

    Needs an improvement. I buys this controlling pads every week because it has not been improved for any good reason because the company wants us to keep buying the pads that’s why they failed to improved it up to this moment.

    Stick drift is so annoying especially for an expensive controller. Feels like it should be $20 worth for these controllers.

    Not happy! Thought i ordered the actual pad, but i only purchased the controller. Not happy wish the description was worded differently, so customers know exactly what they are buying.

    Description does not clarify the product! Also picture of item does not help either. I thought i ordered the pad pro, but again it was only the controllers. If i would have known i would not have brought it alone. So now i have purchase the pad to go with them. Safe to say me and my kids were both surprised.

    My son has some hand dexterity issues, and these joycons help him quite a bit. They’re larger than the regular switch joycons, and the buttons are slightly larger as well making it easier for him to identify and push the correct buttons.

    Doesn't work on fortnite edition switch

    Not sure why they don't work but this is the second set I've bought and neither has worked. My son has the fortnite edition nintendo switch and they are supposed to be plug and play but they just don't do anything once snapped on. I have 2 stars cuz they feel comfortable in my hands but i can't comment on more than that

    Major stick drift, would not recommend!

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

    I bought the black version of this controller and it is no longer listed on the Best Buy website. This controller worked great for 6 months but now the left thumb stick has major stick drift to the left that is happening all the time. I've never dropped it or anything. It sits on a table when not in use. Do not buy as the product is not very well made.

    I guess mine was detective? Just bought it 3 months ago and has MAJOR drift issues. Puts the joycon problem to shame.
