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.

    This is a great accessory to have for your Switch, especially if you play on the go or mobile and the original controllers cramp your hands since they're too small, which they are. This feels like a normal size controller in your hands. Some say it may be bulky but its perfect for play on the road or sitting on the couch. Highly recommended!!

    Good controllers but little bulky and a cheap feel

    Got these to replace my joy cons since they started to drift. Work great but they are bulky and will add a lot of length and width. Material is lightweight but it feels cheap. Still definitely a good deal and feels like a controller.

    Some caveats but the comfort triumphs all

    Two major caveats are the lack of HD rumble (or rumble in general) and missing motion controls especially for ~$50 MSRP (not to mention missing NFC support as well). Despite this, the comfort and improved joy sticks make this an excellent alternative barring missing features and shine in games that are not as reliant on such features.

    Better ergonomics for bigger hands, better price

    Very ergonomic for bigger hands. Buttons are slightly mushier than Nintendo buttons but still clicky. Takes more battery than normal joy cons. Overall, for the price, the comfort it provides outweighs the other stuff imo.

    Love tge design of these grips having adult hands and trying to play on the SWITCH with the small joycons is painful. These help out tremendously.

    Great product with one very minor issue, but not a deal breaker. I’d give it 4.5 stars if that were an option. The controllers aren’t super tight to the switch. Meaning they click in and aren’t going to fall off of it, but they wiggle a bit. Other than that, functionality works as it should. I recommend!! My son is who uses it and he loves them.

    Easier to hold onto switch longer periods of time. No vibration or any special parts. Just switch out joycons and put in place.

    Some of the same flaws as original joycons.

    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.

    I have the OLED Switch and had been looking for some sort of hand grip attachment like I had for my older Switch. My hands are big, but I love being able to game on the road when I travel for work. Decided to give these a shot and I haven’t looked back. Feels great in my hands, buttons feel responsive, does what I need it to do.

    The Hori Split Pad Pro is an amazing product, for a pretty specific person. If you: -Have large hands -Play your Switch in portable mode a lot -Do not care about the lack of rumble or motion control -Are tired of joystick drift on the original Joy-Cons This is just the thing for you. Amazing build quality and truly feels like a normal controller in your hands. Just make sure you read the product overview so you know what it is and isn't.

    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.

    Probably the best third party controller for the switch. I don’t mind the lack of vibration but the lack of gyroscope is unfortunate. Otherwise this controller is drastically more comfortable to use instead of the tiny joycon Nintendo includes with the device

    Great product. Way more comfortable to use then the joycons. Bigger joysticks and more responsive. No internal battery so they only work docked to the switch
