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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    More comfort, less quality

    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.

    It’s good feels comfortable can’t seem to get the turbo and mappable buttons to work but not a deal breaker and doesn’t work independently from being connected to the switch. Mid but ok little overpriced with overall package/performance.

    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.

    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.

    Way better feel and control than joycons, downside is they dont have batteries and can only be used in handheld mode. For the price its what you'd expect, definite upgrade to the otg feel.

    I really like the way the controllers fit in my hand compared to the joy-cons. My hands would often go numb while playing handheld mode but not anymore. If you don’t need to have vibration then this controller is the move.

    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.

    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
