    MUCH more comfortable than the joycons, only downside is the lack of rumble. But the comfort these add actually allow me to use my switch in handheld mode longer than 10 minutes.

    Performs well, buttons and sticks feel good— however, I don’t find it comfortable to hold. I have relatively small hands, so this likely wouldn’t be an issue for those with larger hands. After buying this controller, I picked up Hori’s split pad Conpact and loveee it. Fits my hands better and has great contouring on the back.

    These fit really well in my hands. Also the buttons are clicky so you can slient play for those people who wanna play at night but dont want to wake up your spouse or kids. Used to get hand cramps from playing the switch for too long with the original joy cons but i dont feel that much fatigue from these grips.

    I bought this for myself, dad, for when I want to steal the switch from the kids. Gives you the old school feeling with everything in your hands. The controls are setup with comfort in mind for long term play.

    Must Have Alternative to Joy Cons

    Very ergonomic controller. Dpad and joysticks are awesome to use. If you have large hands like me this is a must have for extended play times. Joy cons would cause my hands to cramp up after an hour use. Only downside is there is no rumble but can live without it. May be a deal breaker for some but otherwise this controller is awesome!

    Whether it be this or the split pad compact, they are slightly bigger than the official joy-cons, and better despite the lack of electronics, so to be fair deposit it is, it’s big enough and it’s more ergonomic for your hands, the only downside is, there is no NFC there is no rumble, and there is no motion controls what that still does not make it any less worth it, I have used these and previous models of this 3-4 years. No drift.

    This controller is way better than the joycons that Nintendo makes. I've been using it extensively for a few months and haven't got any drifting issue yet.

    I wanted a better way to play in handheld mode so I ended up buying this. It was probably one of the best decisions I could have made. The size of the buttons and the control sticks makes it easier to play, and I find it’s more comfortable to hold on to. If you want a good alternative to using joycons than this is the way to go.

    Love this controller, I have used this for hours at a time and I never get fatigued from using them vs the stock controller. Now I prefer to use my switch handheld vs, playing on the TV with my pro controller. Great purchase if you need something comfortable for handheld playing. The shortcut buttons on the back are really useful as well!

    Highly recommend. We own 2 sets in our household. More affordable than joycons, more ergonomic than joycons and priced a lot more affordably than joycons. Be advised that these do not have rumble or NFC functionality. If those features are important to you, look elsewhere.

    I would recommend this to adults use with switch because it'll be too large for a kid's hands but the regular controller is too small for an adult hands.

    Much better quality than official Joycons and for a lower price. I'm loving the grip and shape, they feel more natural and balanced than the Joycons, as well. The sticks are sturdier and much less likely to jam/break, and the buttons don't get stuck or stop functioning. This is the type of design that Nintendo SHOULD have gone with.
