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.

    Good product. Hasn’t done me wrong yet been using heavy for about 2 months. Got it instead of buying new joy cons that are more expensive so I also saved some money

    Makes the Nintendo Switch bulky. Original Joycons are still better.

    Big upgrade over the standard joycons, gameplay is much better. I feel like it still doesn't fit perfect, but that is partially the design of the switch. works great otherwise.

    It's good but not great due to the lack of a rumble feature but other than that it is really comfortable to use all day

    It’s the best alternative to joycons. Works great for FPS shooters. Alot more comfortable than the joycons. Best of all, no deadzones in the joysticks. If precise aiming is what you’re after, this is it. Note: not wireless (must be connected to the switch for power), no rumble, no gyro aiming, and no nfc for amiibos.

    Mmmmmm, handheld

    A great way to handheld. It's like im holding an xb controller. Does it have the bells and whistles? No, but it says it doesn't have those things. So don't be shocked. But it has comfort and familiarity. I also grabbed it on sale, so bonus. Fyi, it doesn't need charging, runs off the switch. It doesn't wake up the switch.

    The joycons that came with the switch were experiencing the joycon drift and had heard good things about these as an alternative. They are great, definitely worth the purchase. They feel better in the hands since they are larger than the regular joycon and they won't have any issues with drift.

    Surprisingly slightly less input lag than the joy ons. Wired always better for that; to remap buttons for the back bumpers is easy.

    Better contour and size in handheld-mode

    Very comfortable to play in handheld mode now. The controllers add space and contour to your hands better, but don't add too much weight to it. Does add width, which I also think is better because it's easier to rest your hands on your lap. I like the texture on the back of the controller as well. Fits in dock still while attached as well.

    It's good, but overpriced. This is a lock-one controller ONLY and doesn't have motion controls or a built in battery. For ALMOST the cost of OEM Joycons, this is a little over the top for two small boards and some plastic that barely add up to one of the cheap wired controllers they sell for $10. They're comfortable and well designed, but I can't recommend these for the full price.

    Definitely worth the purchase. Stock joycons on the Switch are made children's hands and although they work well enough for most games, the larger grip area and spacing between trigger/bumper buttons on top is much more comfortable. The added customizable rear buttons is an added bonus and are easy to reprogram depending on which game your playing.

    Absolutely love it! The original game pad that comes with Switch was too small and made my hands cramp but this product feels like a legitimate game controller and made playing easy and fun.

    The controllers bring a more comfortable space to place anyones hands from younger fans to older fans; I initially purchased this to replace my drifty launch edition joycons.

    This is really nice for my larger hands. The control sticks move well and are precise. It is sometime a little hard to reach the inner buttons (like the screenshot one or home button) but those aren't used as much in games anyways. Of note: There are no rumble features in this product, which made some aspects of some games more difficult.
