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.

    Big enough for adults to use the hand held really easy. Does make it a bit awkward sometimes because it is bigger, so it takes some time to get use too.

    Normal joy cons make my hands cramp up. These solve the problem and also give much more accuracy with the larger thumbsticks. Love them!

    Surprisingly NOT bad. Bought it while waiting for my pro grips to come in. And these chunky mamas did not dissapoint. Visually its like turning your switch into a bbw, but functionally, like most bbws, they are well worth a try

    These grips are really nice. They slide into place just like the joy cons. You do not have to charge these they just connect to the switch automatically. They do not have vibration controls (you get used to it). The quality is very nice and it’s perfect for people with larger hands.

    They don’t drift like joycons

    A good alternative to using joycons in handheld mode and they don’t drift. They work good and are comfortable. They only work for handheld mode they don’t work wirelessly when your switch is connected to the TV.

    Easy to hold the switch and helps with my hands going numb frequently. Makes it easier to play for extended periods of time l.

    Its simple. Are you old like me and have normal sized hands unlike the hand size of a child that nintendo thinks their joycons should only be made for? Then these are for you.

    Good quality. Feels comfortable in your hands. I was unaware that the controllers have no battery/ own power, if they aren’t attached to the switch it doesn’t work

    I have larger hands, and wqs having issues with hand discomfort with the stock joycons in handheld mode. Swapped out for this, and it's been a huge improvement foe my grip.

    These are great!! My little boy loves them they’re more durable sturdy and user-friendly than the ones that came with his switch which I found very flimsy and easy to break the only concern then I would say if I were to mention any concern is that I was under the impression that they were simply just black and yellow turned out they’re actually Pokémon designs which is fine for my six year old as he loves Pokémon but I do know it first so I guess the option may be different either way I will d definitely buy them again

    I purchased this as a gift and they have been using them consistently for a month now. Their grip is more comfortable and they have recommended it to friends because it felt much better. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has trouble with the ergonomics on the joycons.

    Pros: Great thumbsyicks and triggers, shoulder buttons for the price. Good for larger hands. Good price at $47 or less Cons: no internal battery so they have to be attached to use them. <prob keeps the price down> No rumble No NFC (Amiibo support)

    I love these especially since I have big hands. Also I have had no drift so far which is amazing. It has a turbo button that I use sometimes. You also don't get charged 80 bucks for these unlike the official joy-cons which is great. I give this a 10 out of 10.

    This is a great addition to my switch. The only downfall (if you can call it that) is the controllers arent chargeable. Which means, it must be used only in handheld mode. Which i dont mind because i usually use the switch in handheld mode. But feels great in hand.
