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.

    This controller feel better than the joycons. The grip is better and every button and the analog sticks feel way better. The only bad thing about this is that it has no rumble, but its still a great product thats why I still give it 5 stars.

    Sooooo much better than the original controllers (joy cons) in the sence theres no drift on the sticks. You do however loose the gyro and rumble features and the controllers must be attached to function however a small price to pay for better joy sticks imo. Definitely recommend they also come in a variety of styles and colors!

    I just got the new Nintendo Switch OLED model - but after playing for an hour ir more my hands severely cramp. I have large hands and this gripad makes playing in handheld mode a dream for people with larger hands. I also picked up a hardcase that fits the system with these on so it's perfect for playing on the go!

    When you get these, the first thing you'll think is where have these BEEN all your life! Handheld mode on the Switch is so much more comfortable and doable with this accessory, and I'm actually able to win just as much in handheld mode as I am when docked and able to use my 8bitdo controller.

    I bought these replacement controllers for my granddaughter and they are great. She loves them. The controllers that come with the nintendo switch went haywire and were moving on there own. These controllers work great and are a lot cheaper than new nintendo switch controllers which l understand go haywire also. I absolutely recommend these!

    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.

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

    In terms of shipping and how Best Buy handled the product, it was impeccable! I can tell the package was set at the front of my door with care and precision. My only issue is with the product itself is the fact that it does not have a NFC reader and no rumble. This would be amazing for video games that do not require such features.

    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.

    Best controllers for the Nintendo Switch

    These controllers are the best accessories I have seen for the Nintendo Switch. I have big hands and find the original characters to be hard to use. These make my gaming experience much better. The controllers by Hori add size to the switch and is so worth the money. I highly recommend these controllers by Hori.

    Finally, you can play BOTW + TOTK in handheld mode without your hands cramping! I love joycons but found it tough to properly use all the simultaneous button use and triggers until I got this beauty!

    Overall this controller is better than the normal joycons, but there are a few things I don't like. The first thing is the two mappable buttons on the back of each controller. I don't really have a use for them so I haven't set them up, but I can feel them constantly while using the controller and it just gets annoying after a while. Would have preferred a smooth back. The second is the right analog stick position. It's placed just close enough to the ABXY buttons that the side of my thumb rubs against it as I'm pressing those buttons. Lastly, there is no rumble feature which I didn't realize before buying. Not very important but would have been nice.
