I’m going to start by saying that while I appreciate many of the design elements of the switch — I struggle with the joy-cons. They feel so minute in my hands, and overall I just find them uncomfortable and difficult to use. The joy-cons are what keep me from loving the switch. I pre-ordered this controller the second I saw it — and I have no remorse. It is exactly what I was expecting. As for their size and the fact they make playing the switch as a handheld even wider — this is a controller that presents itself to be like a full-size console controller — how else could it do that without making the switch wider? With that said — the feel of this thing is like an Xbox controller only split in two. So depending on what your expectations are this is so far the best solution for people like me — people who want the feel of a full-size console controller when playing the switch as a handheld. I use the Pro controller when the switch is docked, and this is my new portable set-up. Yes, you can still charge the switch in it’s dock with these attached. No, there’s no rumble. This controller doesn’t have a battery, so you don’t need to charge it. But it’s responsive and utterly natural feeling. I sat down to try it out & ended up playing 4 hours of Dragon’s Dogma.

Light years better than joycons. Very comfortable and back paddles work great. Only downside is each paddle only sync's with with a button on the same side of controller, and theres no rumble.

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.

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.

Overall this controller is better than the normal joycons, but there are a few things I don't like. The first thing is the two mappable buttons on the back of each controller. I don't really have a use for them so I haven't set them up, but I can feel them constantly while using the controller and it just gets annoying after a while. Would have preferred a smooth back. The second is the right analog stick position. It's placed just close enough to the ABXY buttons that the side of my thumb rubs against it as I'm pressing those buttons. Lastly, there is no rumble feature which I didn't realize before buying. Not very important but would have been nice.

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.

Very comfortable! All the buttons are top-notch quality. It is missing some features, most notably rumble and gyro. But it makes playing the Switch in handheld mode very enjoyable. My only gripe is that some of the small, lesser-used buttons are rubber, which catches lint. But it’s a minor annoyance.

Great pad for comfort grip. It does make the feel of the console a little wide though, but it securely connects tot he rails without any wiggle. No rumble or gyro, but it’s a good alternative if you don’t mind those. Turbo mode gets a bit of getting used to in order to activate and deactivate it

Pros: Good grip, joystick feel more stable when doing full circle movement, buttons click sound good, a good register key button and autofire. Cons: no vibration, sometime lag on button input.

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.

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)

This was given to me for my birthday, and at first Ioved them. I got these Dec 28th, 2023, and today is January 8th, 2024, and these have just started experiencing the same drift as the original joycons have, which I was hoping wasnt the case. These also can’t be used wirelessly, which is kinda annoying, they also can’t be used to turn the console on at all, they only work when the screen is lit. Overall disappointent, was hoping for wireless support as well, and no joycon drift. Buy something better if you want different switch controllers.

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

My L/XL hands would often become uncomfortable playing the Switch in handheld mode, I'd prefer waiting until I could be somewhere to set it up on a table or counter and use my pro controller. But since getting these, now I have played frequently for long periods and my hands feel fine! The back buttons are helpful and I LOVE the Turbo! When you need it, it comes in clutch. It's also surprisingly light despite its appearance, and honestly I'm fine without vibrations, but that's your call.

Ive only been using for a few hours, but overall its a great substitute for the stock JoyCons while in handheld config. Its just missing a few features…. First and honnestly largest flaw, the additional button…. You can only map it to a button on that same side. So you cant map the left back button to the “B”/Back button. That is honnestly my biggest issue. The other 2 issues are “hardware” related that i woul gladly pay an extra $20-30 for if they were included…. No vibration/feedback… really??? Everything newer then N64 has this feature…. And theres no Gyro/Motion sensors. Otherwise these are great controllers to gove more of a xbox confort feel while playing in handheld mode. Hopefully theres a v2 out that includes the mentioned missing hardware features.

So far this works great. The controls are very responsive and accurate. There is no drift so far unlike the joy cons, plus they fit my hand so much better. They don’t feel very substantial and maybe a bit flimsy but overall quality seems good.

I decided to pick these up since my kids decided to steal mine from my switch. I couls have grabbed them back but now they are gross since the kids used them :) I honestly love these more than the original joycons. No drift. Very comfortable in the hands and the way they look is better than my original red joycons (using the red Mario switch). I did quite a bit of research before picking these up and they were highly recommended.

Super comfortable and ergonomic, especially for FPS games. Wish I had this set when I played through DOOM, but I'm actively realizing the benefits in other games like Fortnite. The ONLY reason for 4 stars instead of 5? No rumble! Kinda weird to use the word "Pro" in its name if the controller doesn't have vibration, but oh well. Also, these can only be used handheld, not wirelessly. That doesn't bother me so much, since that's my intended use, but it might come as a surprise to others. An awesome product otherwise!
