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.

    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.

    Quality Nintendo Accessory

    Very convenient device and reminds me of earlier times with the Nintendo GameBoy and DS devices, but an upgraded version of course for handheld devices since the Switch was released. I hope to one day teach my kids of all the old devices and have them play those before starting out with the newer generation technology, to appreciate the evolution of gaming. Great accessory to the Switch.

    Great, simple product for those who play Switch and have bigger hands. It doesn't have rumble or other features, but it also doesn't require charging or batteries. Really convenient for longer play sessions on the go.

    I absolutely love this gaming accessory and when using my switch via handheld I do not play without it. It feels nice and sturdy and makes it more comfortable to game for hours.

    Love my controller!!!! The joy cons are so expensive and strange to hold on to. I bought this as a replacement for those. I only use the joy cons when I’m playing with other people or when the game requires it.

    This controller is great to use for FPS and shooters that put lots of strain on the joysticks considering the joy cons sticks dont last as long as traditional controllers. When you dont need the movement features and instead want additional buttons and custom button programming, this is great option and affordable.

    A more comfortable, ergonomic controller set.

    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!

    Great grip

    I have bigger hands so the joy cons get uncomfortable after a while. These grips are substantially bigger so they feel good over extended periods of gaming. The ability to map the rear buttons is such a prefect feature for games that require holding a button, such as running. The only downside to these grips is the lack of motion control. Certain games require motion so i had to switch back to the old remotes for that. If that can add motion sensors, these grips would be a perfect replacement

    It does the job well but moving the sticks can get very loud and they don't move as smoothly as regular joy cons but since they're bigger, the overall feel is a lot better.

    Switch controller

    This saved our older switch. My older switch wasn’t working well with the replacement switch controllers I bought. This was not expensive and worked really well. Just slide them on and they work. The grip while holding the switch was better than the ones that came with it. You can not use this wirelessly with a switch, but I normally don’t have it on the TV anyway. Great find while walking around Best Buy.

    Great item highly recommend for personal switch use if connected directly to switch, more responsive then joycons when connected but prefer the joy cons when used independently. I recommend if you buy this item go with the version that also includes the center holder so you can play away from switch as well otherwise use joycons

    Very nice! I bought this after my son’s Joycons broke. Unlike the Joycons which you can pull off the base and use separately, you cannot do that with these. The controllers are mounted to a base so you can slide your switch in and out, but you can’t separate the left and right controllers.
