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

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.

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!!
Good controllers but little bulky and a cheap feel

Got these to replace my joy cons since they started to drift. Work great but they are bulky and will add a lot of length and width. Material is lightweight but it feels cheap. Still definitely a good deal and feels like a controller.

Two major caveats are the lack of HD rumble (or rumble in general) and missing motion controls especially for ~$50 MSRP (not to mention missing NFC support as well). Despite this, the comfort and improved joy sticks make this an excellent alternative barring missing features and shine in games that are not as reliant on such features.

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.

this purchase came in the next of time! my autistic grandson broke his in middle of a game and was very upset. as much as his mom tried to calm him down asking him to wait another week he didnt seem to understand. as a grandparent i came to the rescue and was able to purchase and pick this up same day!.
This was a lifesaver and to see his smiling face was priceless!

Great product with one very minor issue, but not a deal breaker. I’d give it 4.5 stars if that were an option. The controllers aren’t super tight to the switch. Meaning they click in and aren’t going to fall off of it, but they wiggle a bit. Other than that, functionality works as it should. I recommend!! My son is who uses it and he loves them.

This was given to me for my birthday, and at first Ioved them. I got these Dec 28th, 2023, and today is January 8th, 2024, and these have just started experiencing the same drift as the original joycons have, which I was hoping wasnt the case. These also can’t be used wirelessly, which is kinda annoying, they also can’t be used to turn the console on at all, they only work when the screen is lit. Overall disappointent, was hoping for wireless support as well, and no joycon drift. Buy something better if you want different switch controllers.

The Hori Split Pad Pro is an amazing product, for a pretty specific person. If you:
-Have large hands
-Play your Switch in portable mode a lot
-Do not care about the lack of rumble or motion control
-Are tired of joystick drift on the original Joy-Cons
This is just the thing for you. Amazing build quality and truly feels like a normal controller in your hands. Just make sure you read the product overview so you know what it is and isn't.

I have the OLED Switch and had been looking for some sort of hand grip attachment like I had for my older Switch. My hands are big, but I love being able to game on the road when I travel for work. Decided to give these a shot and I haven’t looked back. Feels great in my hands, buttons feel responsive, does what I need it to do.
