I love the Split Pad Pro; I got this one for my Switch OLED. It helps balance the weight of the Switch so it isn't uncomfortable to hold. It also feels sturdy enough that I'm not concerned about it breaking like the joy-cons.

I am an adult gamer and these are much easier to hold onto than the joycons. My fingers do not feel cramped after playing for a long time.
I have had these for 6 weeks and have had no problems.

This is really great. I was having issues with my hands before I bought this pad. I have small hands, but even with my small hands, the old contollers were too tiny. I really appreciate how thick and easy these are to hold onto. They also have a grippy texture which is great for me. Fits perfectly still in the docking station. Only complaint that some might have is that it doesn't look as nice as the original controllers, but it's more usable, so function over form!

They are great for my.bogger hands. And they haven't had any stick drift since buying them. Its also no big deal that they have to be connected to use because I never take the joycons off

Very ergonomic for bigger hands. Buttons are slightly mushier than Nintendo buttons but still clicky. Takes more battery than normal joy cons. Overall, for the price, the comfort it provides outweighs the other stuff imo.

I really like this accessory. Right now im playing more handheld mode than dock mode and it works much better than regular joycon... If you dont want to get tired quickly, its better to buy one of these. Completely recommend.

I’m going to start by saying that while I appreciate many of the design elements of the switch — I struggle with the joy-cons. They feel so minute in my hands, and overall I just find them uncomfortable and difficult to use. The joy-cons are what keep me from loving the switch.
I pre-ordered this controller the second I saw it — and I have no remorse. It is exactly what I was expecting. As for their size and the fact they make playing the switch as a handheld even wider — this is a controller that presents itself to be like a full-size console controller — how else could it do that without making the switch wider? With that said — the feel of this thing is like an Xbox controller only split in two.
So depending on what your expectations are this is so far the best solution for people like me — people who want the feel of a full-size console controller when playing the switch as a handheld. I use the Pro controller when the switch is docked, and this is my new portable set-up.
Yes, you can still charge the switch in it’s dock with these attached. No, there’s no rumble. This controller doesn’t have a battery, so you don’t need to charge it. But it’s responsive and utterly natural feeling. I sat down to try it out & ended up playing 4 hours of Dragon’s Dogma.

Nice and chunky, feels good in the hands. They feel like a professional controller chopped in half in the best possible way. They even fit into the dock if you don't wanna store them in your drawer. The sticks are very durable and can easily take punishment when playing games like Super Smash Bros Ultimate that would be intense on other Joy Cons, and the mappable buttons on the rear are great for more technical games like Monster Hunter when you need to use an item and can't afford losing a second of focus. The one thing that people may find a downside is the lack of rumble, amiibo support, and support for remapping in the Switch's settings, but if those aren't something you usually use then they're a definite recommendation to purchase.

I purchased this controller because the controllers that came with switch console were too small for me to comfortably use while playing fighting games in hand-held mode. The larger grip makes the whole unit feel more like the pro controller, and I no longer feel like I need to support the weight of the console while I play, giving me unfettered access to right, left, and Z buttons. The addition of a programable third Z button on the grip was an amazing idea, and really adds to the overall use of the controllers. Furthermore, the included programable turbo is a nice addition as well.
There are some drawbacks with this controller as well. First, the d-stick on the left controller feels like it is too far away from the d-pad, so you may have to readjust your grip if you need to switch between controls. Oddly enough, it also feels like it is too close to the edge of the controller, making it a little cumbersome to use until you adapt to it. Secondly, the controllers are not self-powered, so your battery may drain a little faster than normal. This isn’t really that big of deal as long as you manage your power wisely, and charge it regularly. However it is something to be aware of if you take your console on the road a lot. Third, the large size of the grip means that it won’t generally fit your typical travel case. However, there are some newer cases out there that will do the trick.
All in all, I think this was a pretty good purchase and really fit my gaming needs.

This is a great accessory to have for your Switch, especially if you play on the go or mobile and the original controllers cramp your hands since they're too small, which they are. This feels like a normal size controller in your hands. Some say it may be bulky but its perfect for play on the road or sitting on the couch. Highly recommended!!

These are awesome! Very much worth it for those who play mostly handheld. Also looks very nice in combination with the Scarlet and Violet edition switch
