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.

    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.

    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.

    It feels so comfortable to play with. It does not have gyro or rumble which is a bummer but its still worth it

    Much more comfortable grip for handheld mode

    I find these controllers much more comfortable to use for handheld mode games that require a lot of fast inputs and precision. The only con besides not having full functionality that the first party controllers have (amiibo reader etc) is that the controllers are very big and look rather silly when docked.

    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

    Pro's and cons. Very large, pro A little flimsy, con No wireless capability. If you only use handheld mode and have no desire to travel with the controllers attached. I recommend it. Great feel, just needs wireless. Also I returned this item after using them for around an hour.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Bought these as an alternative for the joycons to prevent hand cramping. Hands have not cramped yet. Also, love the back paddles

    It's okay, but still not comfortable

    It's not bad, the main reason I wanted is for the bigger analog sticks. I enjoy being able to use it, but I do miss the haptic feedback and the other things that the joy-cons offer. It's definitely worth the money or if there's a sale. It is blocky in a little bit big so those with smaller hands may not enjoy it as much. Hey I'm glad that also is able to fit into the TV dock comfortably

    The ergonomics on this Item work better than the OG joycons, if you dont mind not having the AMIIBO feature off and no rumble, you should be good.

    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)
