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.

    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.

    Love the thumbsticks and d-pad! I do not have to remove it to dock and over all better than buy joycons. My Satisfye Grip was super comfy to play with but removing it to dock wore out the silicone pads holding it in place and it began to have play or walk out of the grip. The Split Pads to me feel way better than a Pro Controller.

    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!

    Hand Held Pro Controller with a catch.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although this makes your switch a little bigger than regular joy cons it does feel smaller than using a satisfye grip. The analog sticks are amazing and the dpad works well enough for 2d platformers. This makes your system extremely light because the split pad pro controllers are lacking rumble, NFC and motion. If you splay a lot of platformers or shooters I would highly recommend this controller.

    Pros: -Ergonomic -Buttons feels like a normal controller -Dock compatible -Officially Licensed by Nintendo Cons -Missing features like Rumble, Gyroscope, NFC -A little pricey for what it offers -Makes the Switch a little bit wider in handheld mode (kinda awkward for me) Would’ve been a perfect alternative to joycons if it included more features. But then, Nintendo would’ve not sold any more joycons if that’s the case.

    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

    Excellent product! My partner bought this for me on sale as I have big hands and the grips feel perfect. It feels natural and has made me play my switch twice often. Would definitely recommend!

    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.

    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.

    Feels great in my hands. Great for traveling when I don't connect to a TV. Makes the Switch feel more secure in my grip when on an airplane, and more comfortable when playing in my hotel room. Rumble would be nice, but I don't really miss it.

    I bought these for an upcoming cruise, knowing I wouldn't be able to play my switch docked. This was exactly what I needed, the Hori controllers had a nice heft to them and felt much better playing handheld than the standard joycons.

    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!
