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.

    Made a huge difference in ease of use and gameplay especially for FPS. Almost never use my joy cons now. These are much better as far as comfort.

    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.

    Instant cure for hand cramps. Insanely comfortable to use, light and does not cause any wrist strain while holding. Good feeling triggers and analog pads, buttons are snappy and responsive. Have not tried out the turbo or action recording yet, but I'm sure those could be quite useful for some games.

    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 Controller for the Switch

    These should be the default controllers that come with the Switch. The original that comes with the switch is tiny compared to these. The Hori is better fitted for bigger hands. It gives a actual controller feel when you pick it up. Definitely recommend to everyone, especially since it has the assigned buttons for better function.

    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.

    This controller is fantastic. It is much more comfortable for my hands while playing the switch in handheld. I wish the d-pad was more responsive for games with a lot of intense inputs, but totally prefer over joycons!

    This split pad is a game changer for handheld. I don’t even use the joy-cons anymore. The one flaw of these things is they don’t have motion controls for aiming, nor are they able to scan amiibo.

    Worked wonderfully for games where the joy-cons just dont work well enough and you need something thats more like a standard controller when playing it handheld.

    The feel of the control is awesome, and better if you have bigger hands like me. The only downside is that if you play on the TV, the control is not wireless. But it is great

    These contractors work great. Feels perfect in my hands close to an xbox controller only issue is that they are not wireless and very light

    These r the perfect replacement for the original joycon controllers. The controllers feel real nice in hand and buttons and analog stick have a notable difference that is 100 times better. Must buy!

    Very Satisfactory

    I think this controller attachment delivers on its basic promise: a full controller setup for your Switch in handheld mode. Its well made, and the analog sticks are buttery smooth. My main complaints: no rumble, no home button to wake the system, the grip patterning is not the most comfortable (though effective), and my biggest complaint is that the rear paddle buttons they have added are extremely awkward and uncomfortable, as they sit exactly where your ring and middle fingers want to rest/hold the grip most firmly.

    They fit great in my hand, they make the switch seem larger in a good way, but remember that these cannot be played wirelessly.

    The only negative is there is no rumble feature. Other than that it’s great for when you want to play in held held mode

    Amazing feel and quality but for a few reasons not for me. - no vibrate/hepatetic feedback - will not fit in switch dock mounted to wall (anything that increases the thickness of the dock)
