Customers are pleased with the Split Pad Pro for Nintendo Switch, particularly its comfortable design, suitable size for various hand sizes, and overall high quality. The grip and feel are also well-received, along with the lightweight nature and responsive buttons. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the lack of rumble and vibration features, the inability to use the product wirelessly, and the potential for accelerated battery drain.

    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.

    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

    This is really helpful to play games handheld and on the go with the nice D-pad. I am not a fan of the joycons for playing anything but kids games with my kids. For the games I like: roguelikes, action rpgs and shooters you need a good d-pad. For shooters though I am not a fan of the joysticks but for any other genre they are fine. It has a good feel to it.

    Best Hand Held Switch Controller

    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.

    It’s good feels comfortable can’t seem to get the turbo and mappable buttons to work but not a deal breaker and doesn’t work independently from being connected to the switch. Mid but ok little overpriced with overall package/performance.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    The accessories were great and a good fit for the Nintendo switch. Easy to use and durable. Only downside is the controllers won't fit in factory attachment for the television so we haven't been able to use this product when the switch is in TV mode.

    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.

    Great grip but they do not vibrate with in game play. This can make it difficult if playing a game that relies on vibration to complete tasks.

    A great way to handheld. It's like im holding an xb controller. Does it have the bells and whistles? No, but it says it doesn't have those things. So don't be shocked. But it has comfort and familiarity. I also grabbed it on sale, so bonus. Fyi, it doesn't need charging, runs off the switch. It doesn't wake up the switch.

    Good product. Hasn’t done me wrong yet been using heavy for about 2 months. Got it instead of buying new joy cons that are more expensive so I also saved some money
