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.

    Light years better than joycons. Very comfortable and back paddles work great. Only downside is each paddle only sync's with with a button on the same side of controller, and theres no rumble.

    This is really helpful to play games handheld and on the go with the nice D-pad. I am not a fan of the joycons for playing anything but kids games with my kids. For the games I like: roguelikes, action rpgs and shooters you need a good d-pad. For shooters though I am not a fan of the joysticks but for any other genre they are fine. It has a good feel to it.

    Best Hand Held Switch Controller

    Perfect hand held controller for the switch. Thought I would miss gyro controls as I play a lot of Risk of Rain 2 and Splatoon 2 but realized there's so much going on in those games that I would prefer to use them in TV mode. Perfect for Hades and Stardew Valley though. Heard rumor this controller kills your battery but haven't had any issues.

    The accessories were great and a good fit for the Nintendo switch. Easy to use and durable. Only downside is the controllers won't fit in factory attachment for the television so we haven't been able to use this product when the switch is in TV mode.

    I bought this to relieve some tension on my hands and wrists and it has worked really well. I can pretty much play for hours without any hand or wrist fatigue and it feels like a PlayStation or Xbox controller. Worth the money!

    Purchased this as a gift for my son for Xmas. He has had other controllers the type that can be removed & to be honest he has gone through a couple pairs of those he isn’t as gentle perhaps as he should be with those (he’s eight). This pair on the other hand has been much more durable and the fact that they remain on has been easier to not misplace. I highly recommend this item.

    The Hori Spilt Pad Pro controller is a great alternative to the joy con or even for the Nintendo Pro controller. The controller feels and looks great. The only issue with them is that they don't have rumble or their own battery meaning they must be connected to a switch at all times to work. Otherwise these are great controllers!

    The controllers are very nice they dont have built in batters or vibration so you have to have them connected to the switch to use them but they are nice for people with big hands

    this was a great upgrade for my nintendo OLED. a lot more comfortable to hold i play fortnite a lot and it helps. i was confused on how to assign the back paddles but once i figured out it wasn’t too useful for what i play but it was an awesome feature

    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.
