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.

    Very good to have, makes the switch feel better as a handheld device. Buttons feel nice and smooth.

    Decent Controller

    Controller feels a tad to light, but it gets the job done. if you're using the switch in hand held mode, especially with large hands these controllers fit like a glove. I'm starting to experience some drift with the left controller and I tend to keep my electronics clean and not touch them when I'm eating. Be sure to buy some warranty on these sets as I'm not sure how long they will last - even for a non-hardcore gamer like myself.

    Great product for playing on the go. Much bigger than traditional joy cons (although these don't vibrate).

    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.

    Lightweight, easy to use, only critique is if you have small hands it can be hard to grip but like it better than joy cons.

    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!

    Fits larger hands way better than the Joycons but feels cheap and hollow, it also lacks some of the Joycons key features (vibration, gyro, wireless) Definitely recommend for those looking for a more comfortable and controller like grip, don’t recommend if you are looking for a joycon replacement.

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

    These are great. My son likes them for the added size, I as an adult appreciate that too, but also that there is also NO JOYCON DRIFT with these! They are well made and a great addition to your Nintendo Switch.

    The Hori Split Pad Pro Handheld Controller for Nintendo Switch is good, but not awesome. It occasionally doesn’t work as expected, but considering the price, it’s okay.

    I was not sure about this item as it is not an Nintendo original product even though it appears to be licensed and had the Nintendo labeling on the package. But the good news is that it works great and it is fully compatible with the nintendo switch I own. Even better news is that my kids love it and say it works great and it is easy to use and more ergonomic and natural then the standard controllers.

    Bought this so I can use my OLED switch 8n handheld mode with more comfort. To me it really is comfortable to hold, buttons do not feel like sticky, haven't experienced stick drift on it. The turbo function I do really like.

    Really nice. Good for the price. But. It doesn’t work with any cases for the main console. That’s a bummer.

    Was skeptical but WOW!!! I think I officially like these more than the Nintendo joy cons included with the switch lol. Comfortable, cool looking, superb features and easy to use! I love the programmable buttons and the turbo buttons. And way worth the price. Just no rumble but who cares? I watched reviews and read more to be sure about these. I’d highly recommend these especially if you want the features they come with

    I have used these for several months and actually prefer these over the small thin controllers that came with the switch. Very happy with this purchase.

    Absolutely love these controllers! I'm a big fan of handheld systems and these controllers offer an excellent grip, larger buttons, and even an additional programmable button on the back.
