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.

    Best handheld Switch controller!

    Makes playing handheld for hours much easier on hands and no cramping. Programmable buttons are great for FPS especially. No vibration is a downer but overall, a no brainer for handheld gamers out there.

    Just what my fat hands needed. Joycons were terribly uncomfortable but this Hori pad feels just right. I recommend.

    Nice big comfortable grip that is good for my big hands. The joysticks are good and dont have that "drift" that alot of Nintendo Joycons get.

    They fit perfectly in big hands, no drift at all. The turbo and assign buttons are very useful.

    Overall it's a great controller. Only downside is it doesn't have the motion sensor like standard joycons do.

    this one seems better for younger kids, it being one piece instead of two seperate seems to be more sturdy

    This split pad is a better option for real gamers. The original joysticks will break, come apart or stop functioning all together. My son enjoys using this evening on the go.

    If you play primarily in handheld mode and don’t use motion controls this is a great controller. Very comfortable for larger hands.

    If this vibrates it’s be perfect! If Power A made any of their controllers with vibration they would have SO MUCH MORE business. It’s super dope for Animal crossing & Skyrim. If you have bigger hands it’s dope too.

    This controller was very big compared the the regular joycons. This was great for ergonomics but not very portable. I also wished the controllers were battery powered so I could use them when the switch is docked.
