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.

    If you’re someone with bigger and hands and find the regular joycons small, these are great. It feels similar to holding and xbox controller.

    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.

    The controller is a good item for people with big hands. It does have quite a few downfalls. No vibration, they are very light, you cannot use them wirelessly, etc. Just to wore people. They are still good so you’re not using the small joy cons on the go. It helps my hands not cramp up. I would just be caution before buyer so you know what you’re getting.

    Bought these as a replacement for the joycons when i'm on those long trips and they were worth it! they feel great in my hand and having a grip makes it feel like it won't fall from my hands unlike the joycons. they're not wireless or have a vibrate feature but its not a big deal if you're just looking for something to be used handheld.

    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 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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Bulky and loud, but very comfortable to hold. not the best to use when your partner is trying to sleep next to you, but still better than using the standard joy cons.

    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.

    Bought this for my kid's birthday and he hasn't stopped raving about this controller. Ergonomic, comfortable and less expensive that the Switch Joy-con; my son is very impressed. Would buy again in a second.

    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.
