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.

    Controller worked great for about 2 wks before the right trigger button stopped working. I still use it because I like the grips and the other buttons work but was disappointed that it broke so quickly.

    Good handheld alternative to the joycons. These offer a better grip allowing for longer play times in handheld mode. with better analog sticks.

    This wasn’t for me. Made the switch feel too wide and bulky. Many said it made the switch more comfortable but it was the opposite for me. But it is a solid build and everything worked right.

    It looks great, but I would feel my fingers hurting because of the back buttons. I really don't like it, but I'll keep the review at 3 stars because I know this vary from person to person.

    Clunky, but works well. Feels very cheap, but also gives good comfort over the standard joycons.

    The controllers work fine, but you can only use them when connected to the switch itself. They do not work disconnected from the switch so you cannot use them when using TV/monitor for visuals.

    I had to return this after 3 days of use when it already started controller drift! Didn't expect it to last for years and years ... but 3 days was kinda disappointing. Maybe we got a dud so we returned for a new one. If the new one is better, I'll update this review. But for all the information I have at this time, this thing is garbage.

    Great idea but has some flaws. It’s a bit large and feels to far apart from hand to hand. Feels a bit cheaply made for the price. It works but will take some getting use to.

    This is a swing and a miss for big hands.

    This item has a good dpad and good analog sticks for those that want to use the item as a more portable unit. If it has good buttons why am I rating it so low? Because if you have big hands this unit will actually hurt your hands after an extended gameplay session. After an hour of playing a fighting game this thing was hurting my hands making it a painful accessory. If you have big hands I would not recommend this item. If you have small hands however this may be worth getting.
