If you like playing the Switch handheld but don't think the joycons are comfortable, get these. Can guarantee you will not regret it. The most comfortable, ergonomic controllers I have held. And they have a couple of programmable functions as icing on the cake. THEY NEED TO MAKE THESE ON THE SWITCH 2 ASAP, I AM WAITING.
Great controllers for playing Switch handheld mode

So I got the Hori Split Pad Pro controllers today, and I'm glad I did. First of all, they're cheaper in price than the regular joycons, which boggles the mind. 2nd of all, they are very comfortable for when playing handheld, which is the only way I play the Switch.
The 2 protruding grips are there to rest your fingers against, and it makes a huge difference in comfort. The buttons and +pad are a bit bigger. The joysticks are much looser, which made me nervous at first, that they'll break off. But I tested them, and they're very sturdy.
The thickness of the controllers are such that the screen looks "deeper", not sure how else to describe it. I like it, maybe it's my imagination, but to me it improves the screen images by blocking glares.
There are "assign" & "turbo" buttons at the bottom for you to assign a function button to something else during gameplay. You don't have to go to the game settings to do this. The turbo feature is for you to have continuous fire for a shooting game without continuously pressing a button. I haven't tested this yet. There is also a button on the back of each controller, which can be assigned a function. You can simply use these buttons by squeezing your fingers on the grip. Personally, I'm not that crazy about them, since I tend to squeeze my Switch during intense moments of gameplay, and may accidentally do something I don't want to do.
I have two cons about the controllers, but they're minor. One, there are no rumble features. I do like that on the regular joycons, but I played a game using the Split Pad Pro, that had rumble features, and I barely noticed that it wasn't there. Two, the front of the controllers are made of a very smooth plastic. I like to keep my thumbs on the controllers when they're not on a button or joystick, and sometimes they slip on the smooth plastic. Like I said, not a biggie, but I do have to get used to it. I do love the back of the controllers, however. They're made of the same plastic, obviously, but it's textured, not smooth, for a much better grip.
I highly recommend these controllers.

I use these controllers more than the usual joycons just because I hate that the regular joycons get drift so easily. These aren’t as stiff and I like that there’s an assign button on each joycon

The lack of motion controls and the fact it doesn't fit in a standard case is kind of a bummer. It is still an upgrade on the quality of the joystick but 3 stars due to quality of life issues.

I have petite hands and I even find the Switch's joycons to be too small and uncomfortable. My first impression of the Hori Split Pad Pro is that it's bigger than I thought. The joystick is big and high and probably meant for bigger hands. I don't mind that it makes the Switch longer but I find that my hands would need to travel quite a bit just to reach all of the buttons. The Split Pad Pro is light and I like the feel of the buttons. It was very easy to set up and it feels secure when it is connected to my Switch. The biggest disappointment for me was that the Switch won't let me remap the buttons in the settings. The Hori Split Pad Pro is more comfortable than the Switch's joycons but does not have the same versatility. You lose all of the features of the Switch's joycons. The Split Pad Pro does not have rumble or it's own battery source so I think the price is quite expensive for what you get. With that being said, I prefer using the Hori Split Pad Pro on handheld mode over using the Switch's joycons and I'm very happy with my purchase.

I think this is a good gaming Joy-con alternative because it’s very good for competitive games like fortnite, apex gaming, Mario cart and it’s good for soft games like Mario games and Pokémon games.In my opinion I didn't really like the feeling of the joysticks but I still liked the controllers themself and it’s affordable.

This is my second split pad pro because I started to get drift on my first pair. NOW WAIT!!! That’s not a knock against these things at all. I play my Switch A LOT!! Eventually things wear out, so I blame me more than the split pad. I play 100% handheld so these were my only go-to controller. The fact that I am buying them again is the plus. These are comfortable for me. I have medium sized man hands and my thumbs rest perfectly on the thumb sticks. The buttons are nice and large. I just felt these were great.
Okay, if I’m being honest there were a couple negatives but they didn’t bother me much. The is NO rumble, NO gyro controls and you can NOT use these detached from the screen. There also is NO amibo support. None of those I care about so no big deal to me. There is one thing that did annoy me; the A, B, X, Y lettering on the buttons wore off. If I didn’t have them memorized, I wouldn’t know what button is which. So some of that is my fault because I play so much but really, the shouldn’t not wear off at all.
So overall, I love these things. For longer play sessions, these won’t cramp your hands like the joycon will. I gave it a 3 star on value because there are some othe controllers online like the binbok controllers that are the same size, same price and work just as well, but they have rumble, gyro, etc…
