Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works excellent for the price. Fits great like this more then the original controllers.

Great product, feels so much better for large hands, no internal battery unfortunately.

This is definitely a good upgrade from the controllers it comes with. Only downside is there isn’t any vibration with game play and it can be hard to see the buttons

After buying my switch I couldn't really play it cause trying to play with the thin joy cons caused my hands to cramp and fatigue real quick robbing me of my playing time. After buying these my hands no longer run into cramps/fatigue and I can enjoy my switch the whole reason why I bought it. I do recommend these to anyone with hand problems.

Love the thumbsticks and d-pad! I do not have to remove it to dock and over all better than buy joycons. My Satisfye Grip was super comfy to play with but removing it to dock wore out the silicone pads holding it in place and it began to have play or walk out of the grip. The Split Pads to me feel way better than a Pro Controller.

[Employee of bestbuy] 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

The Hori Split Pad Pro for Nintendo Switch in Black is a substantial improvement for handheld gaming. Its full-size controller experience, with larger analog sticks, a precise D-pad, and roomy shoulder buttons, guarantees comfort and accuracy during extended sessions. Assignable rear triggers and Turbo functionality enhance gameplay, making it ideal for various genres. The ergonomic design and translucent Black finish offer style and comfortable handling. However, the absence of HD Rumble is a noticeable drawback, especially for those who enjoy haptic feedback. Officially licensed by Nintendo, the Hori Split Pad Pro is essential for any Nintendo Switch gamer seeking an enhanced handheld gaming experience. It earns a respectable 4-star rating.

They work so well with my sons switch, he especially like the design

The grip is really nice. Buttons and joysticks work really well too. One thing to note: there are NO haptics, but for certain games, I feel like this is a bonus. Also, when attached, it no longer fits in my slim carry case.

Way better feel and control than joycons, downside is they dont have batteries and can only be used in handheld mode. For the price its what you'd expect, definite upgrade to the otg feel.

Great————————————————————————————————————————————-

These are really good. They fell way more comfortable than the joy-cons in handheld mode. Absolutely would recommend.

Perfect hand held controller for the switch. Thought I would miss gyro controls as I play a lot of Risk of Rain 2 and Splatoon 2 but realized there's so much going on in those games that I would prefer to use them in TV mode. Perfect for Hades and Stardew Valley though. Heard rumor this controller kills your battery but haven't had any issues.

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.

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.

Excellent alternative for people with bigger hands, comfortable. Only drawback is the lack of rumble

Awesome alternative to joy cons. These are a great size and fit well in the hands. Overall great purchase. Anyone looking for a good alternative to joy cons should definitely give these a look.

Love this game pads great grip nice buttons responding

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.

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.
