    Much more comfortable than the JoyCons

    My hands aren't particularly large, but the standard JoyCons are so uncomfortable, im surprised anyone except for children can use them to play a game for longer than a few minutes. I was unable to use the Switch in handheld mode because my hands would cramp trying to use rhe JoyCons. Once I saw this SplitPad was available and read others' reviews, I knew I had to have it. It certainly doesn't disappoint. It's almost as comfortable as the Switch Pro Controller, and the addition of the extra triggers at the back, which can be reassigned, is actually useful and I now find myself wishing the Pro Controller had the same feature. The only negatives are: 1) each of the extra rear trigger buttons can only he assigned to a button its resoective side. For example, you can't assign the left rear trigger as A,B, X, Y, R, Zr, or R3 (or whatever the button is called by Nintendo - the right stick button). 2) No rumble 3) They can't be used without being attached to the Switch (although Hori does sell an accessory that allows you to use them as a wired controller , though its around $25), and 4) No motion control - (though I'm not exactly a big fan of motion control anyway)

    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.

    Hori Split Pad Pro - Enhancing Nintendo Switch

    Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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 are bare bones - no nfc, rumble, ir camera, or motion controls. There’s no battery, so they can’t be used wirelessly. That said, the full size grip, joysticks, and buttons, they are incredibly comfortable to hold and use. Even with the missing features, I would recommend these to anyone.

    At first it felt to big but after a few hours it felt right like you have a controller in your hands, you can also customize the buttons on the back of it. I recommend this adapter

    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

    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.
