This a must have if want to game on the go. The thumbsticks and triggers are much better and grip is more comfortable than what comes with the switch.

I love these handles. At first I was hesitant, but was assured by a friend that they were worth it. Let me be that friend! They are bigger than the Joy-con's which makes it much more comfortable to hold. The joysticks on the Hori pads don't have the same flimsy feel as the joy-con's. For the price these are definitely worth buying.

I bought these game pads because I often use the Nintendo switch handheld and the stock joycons just don’t cut it. These are a great option for a better grip. One gripe is the quality isn’t as high as I’d expect. Still great for the price.

Taking a star off for its lack of rumble & gyro. With that being said, it is the best controller for handheld gaming. Compared with other 3rd party ergonomic joy-cons from Amazon. Although they have more features, this has better overall quality, button, joystick, D-pad, ergonomic shape, weight, and texture. Definitely an easy win.

I love this controller. It fits comfortably in the hands. It feels very well made. It isn't very heavy and the full sized analog sticks are easier to use than the small ones on joycons,

Feels great in the hands and the buttons have remained responsive. Love the under dual external trigger buttons on the bottom. Miles better than the stock Joycons for extended playing sessions. I got the red color. Fits perfect in reg switch, but feels like it's more tailored to the OLED model in terms of the Switch screen being flush with the flat area of the controller. It does not fit flush in front with the Original, but can be easily overlooked as you focus on how great it feels to not have a "dig in" feeling into your hands as you play.

I love these controllers! It’s big but super comfy. The buttons are quiet and click softly (good to play next to someone sleeping.) I knocked one star off though because I don’t like that you’re restricted on which buttons you can map on the controllers. You also can’t play it wireless but hopefully because of that there won’t be a stick drift (crossing fingers.)

Great for those who want a better grip and feel during mobile gameplay. They even come with an extra button on both controllers you can map for different play styles.Please note, these do not have wireless functionality. They can also be use for computer gaming was a USB connector.

Great add on to your switch. Use it for my OLED Switch device and feels better in your hands. Buttons sound great, nothing out of the ordinary. I only got one complaint being I can't have my case on my switch device when using this product. Been using it for a while now and haven't had any difficulties with it.

Bought this for my bf for Xmas, and he loves it. He always complained about the small size of the joycons since he plays it in head held mode a lot. This controller set makes it a lot more comfortable to play on the go or in bed, and saves a lot of hand fatigue.

I was often deterred from playing intense games like Smash Bros handheld because it became uncomfortable. This controller is big but it is a lot more comfortable. Only warning I have is it will not fit in a normal handheld Switch case with it attached.

I have about 4 of these now (different colors/designs). They’re perfect for the OLED switch. I only play my switch handheld, so these were a god-send. The regular joy con buttons hurt my hands after 10 minutes and I can use these for hours without hand pain. Well worth the price.
Some ppl complain about how it drains your battery—this is true, but not a big deal if you are gaming at home or a quick trip.

Even though I have small hands, I would always get cramps when using the Joy Cons. These are MUCH more comfortable to hold, although it took me a while to get used to the added bulk. I haven’t taken them off my Switch since the day I got them and they’ve held up well, though I can’t comment on the turbo function or back paddles because I’ve never used them.
