    Decent Joycon Alternative

    Doesnt have rumble or motion sensing, and can't use one side as its owen controller. BUT it's a good value, its light and much more comfortable to hold in handheld mode than regular joycons. Having the programmable back buttons and turbi mode is a nice plus.

    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.

    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.

    The controllers are very nice they dont have built in batters or vibration so you have to have them connected to the switch to use them but they are nice for people with big hands

    Ok… I like the grip it feels good and comfy but in terms of quality I’m not to impressed. It felt cheaply made and just a little expensive considering it doesn’t have a battery in either con. Knowing it’s a good replacement I’d still recommend, just worried it might not last long

    Feels great in my hands. Great for traveling when I don't connect to a TV. Makes the Switch feel more secure in my grip when on an airplane, and more comfortable when playing in my hotel room. Rumble would be nice, but I don't really miss it.

    Excellent product! My partner bought this for me on sale as I have big hands and the grips feel perfect. It feels natural and has made me play my switch twice often. Would definitely recommend!

    I bought these for an upcoming cruise, knowing I wouldn't be able to play my switch docked. This was exactly what I needed, the Hori controllers had a nice heft to them and felt much better playing handheld than the standard joycons.

    The joycons that came with the switch were experiencing the joycon drift and had heard good things about these as an alternative. They are great, definitely worth the purchase. They feel better in the hands since they are larger than the regular joycon and they won't have any issues with drift.

    These are great and handheld mode. They give you the full grip of a controller, when holding it doesn’t feel like you’re gonna break them in the sticks are responsive bones are great no issues whatsoever best investment ever.

    I have had these for about two weeks now and theyre great, dont expect them to fit in an older carrying case, but its perfect for any sized hands. My reasoning for 4 ibstead of 5 stars is because there is no rumbling on the controllers. Still recommend nonetheless

    Pros: -Ergonomic -Buttons feels like a normal controller -Dock compatible -Officially Licensed by Nintendo Cons -Missing features like Rumble, Gyroscope, NFC -A little pricey for what it offers -Makes the Switch a little bit wider in handheld mode (kinda awkward for me) Would’ve been a perfect alternative to joycons if it included more features. But then, Nintendo would’ve not sold any more joycons if that’s the case.
