Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Split Pad Pro Handheld Controller for Nintendo Switch due to its comfortable design, suitable size for various hand sizes, and high-quality build. Users appreciate the enhanced grip, great feel, lightweight yet sturdy construction, and responsive buttons. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the lack of rumble and vibration features, the inability to use the controller wirelessly, and potential battery drain. While some are not concerned about drift, it is still worth noting.

    Solid for comfort, but missing some key features

    These are a good pair of joy-cons- I like how they make the handheld more comfortable and allow easier access to most buttons. My reason for only 4 stars would be that they feel a bit cheap in hand and lack a lot of features that I think should be included for $50. Wireless, rumble, be able to turn on the switch with the home button, are the ones I wish they had.

    A godsend for Handheld Mode!

    I've had a Split Pad Pro about a year now, and they kick butt. For a 6'6" guy with big hands, they're basically a godsend for Handheld Mode play. The D-Pad and Thumbsticks are top-notch, and not once have they drifted on me. There is no NFC, Rumble, or Motion, but the Turbo and Assignable Buttons make up for that. If you love handheld mode play, I say get it.

    What a game changer these are! Completely changes the dynamic and comfort of playing the switch hand held. Super duper light weight and feel really good in the hands. Completely opposite of the joycons which bunch up your hands and feel uncomfortable with longer playing sessions. These are a must!

    As a grown man I really hate the way Nintendo makes everything so tiny. I tried every grip case I could find and every single one was garbage. I thought I would never be able to comfortably game in handheld mode with my Switch until I found these beauties. Not only are they waaaaay more comfortable, the sticks are much more defined in their control, making FPS games actually playable. They’re nice and stout and don’t feel cheap at all. They make your Switch HUGE, but it’s totally worth it. If you don’t have these get them.

    I bought this over 10 months ago and they still hold up very well. It’s comfortable to hold and has several extra buttons for whatever you need to use them for. It’s very great quality and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

    Great controller attachment for the Switch, especially for anyone with big hands. Feels good playing, my hands don’t cramp up due to the smaller sized joy-cons. There are two negatives to these however; 1- It does make the Switch feel very wide. 2- I don’t think there is any type of protective case you can use with the controller attachment.

    Finally, a Nintendo Switch (split pad) controller that is not too small for my hands! Feels smooth, comfortable and looks good. Does not work when disconnected and does not use amiibos. Still not a loss for me but a win!

    A Great Handheld Mode Alternative for At-Home Use

    For the price, this can't be beat. Can't be used as individual JoyCon as they have no batteries (and the orientation wouldn't work that way anyway) but for handheld mode this is far superior to just using 2 JoyCon. Much less portable this way, though. For in-home use, however, they're wonderful.

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

    I have really enjoyed this and find it to be the best solution for the standard joycons issues during extended handheld play. It feels better in the hands (much lighter than I expected), joy sticks are smooth and not too touchy, and the lost long D pad makes a very accepted return. I do wish the buttons weren't as loud for nights I play in bed next to my partner. All in all, best solution I've found so far (Fingers crossed for a better switch pro handheld comfort).

    Solid Joycon Alternative

    Initial impressions: cheaper than Factory Joycons and more comfortable for larger hands, with bonus of added programmable buttons on the back that you can leave unprogrammed and just click for fun during cutscenes without skipping them if you have the specific flavor of ADD that I have.

    Feels like a pro controller fused with the switch!

    Great quality. Feels like OEM materials. The clicks and locks are solid. No jiggle or loose points. The button are very tactical and precise like the OEM pro controller. Well worth the money if you need better ergonomics for long hours of gaming. That said, it makes your switch look huge and it’s harder to find a case trust still fit toy switch when attached. I will sacrifice ergonomics over portability any day.

    while it is a bit bulky, it is very good when it comes to portable switch gaming! My hands don't cramp when I play for long hours compared to the joycons. I don't have use for the assign and turbo buttons yet but hopefully in the future. I highly recommend!

    Great controllers, the only drawback is it does fit in the charging station as easily as the smaller ones.
