Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro (Pokemon Legends: Arceus) Ergonomic Controller for Handheld Mode - Officially Licensed By Nintendo & Pokemon Company International (Nintendo Switch)

Bought these for my son as he had worn through the rubber on top of his official joycons, and i felt the official ones are just not designed for long gaming sessions. These have been superb - they make the switch much more ergonomic to hold; they show no signs of wear despite many, many long hours of use. Can't imagine going back to the official ones as they just feel flimsy by comparison.

I have rather large hands and the joycons on the switch bring me a lot of discomfort if I use them for longer than half an hour. I had a 9 hour flight coming up when I initially looked at this product and it seemed ideal so I bought it. Id say I played for a good 3 hours with no cramp in my hands. Just like playing with a normal controller. In addition the programmable buttons on the back are fantastic for games like Zelda as you can't run and direct the camera on a normal controller without a very strange hand placement. This makes it much easier as you can just map the run button (b or x) to one of the programmable buttons on the back. However, I did experience a slight glitch where the controller would think I was aiming to the right on the left stick. This meant my character would start walking (we're all familiar with this from old controllers). The good news is that upon restarting the console the glitch seemed to stop and the controls were back to normal. I should say that this could have been an in game glitch or the controller. Either way the product still works now and if it broke today I'd buy another :)

This makes it so much more comfortable for anyone playing the switch with bigger hands. The original controllers are way too small for me. Recommend. The buttons feel decent, grip is nice. No issues.

Great ergonomic pad that works well, I especially like the back buttons which can be programmed to any button. The only downside is no rumble. It's also a bit chunky but it's easy enough to take if you're travelling.

Excellent product that has revolutionised gaming on my switch. Playing FPS games felt unnecessarily difficult using the standard joycons. This pad changes the whole experience and makes games like DOOM, Metro and Sniper Elite play far more like their console counterparts. Incredibly smooth and precise thumbsticks Feels more akin to an Xbox controller in terms of feel and layout. Makes the switch feel somewhat similar to a steam deck too. Very solid feeling product. Has additional triggers/pads on the underside which can be mapped. This is limited to buttons available on that particular side of the pad. I.e the left side can only be mapped the left side inputs (dpad, Left trigger etc) and the right hand side can only map the abxy side of the pad. This is somewhat limiting but still a useful function, especially when mapping jump and crouch in FPS games Loads of third party cases are available for the pad + switch combo, I would advise getting one as the console doesn't lay the most comfortably due to the handgrip moulding. Comfortably fits in the switch dock without disengaging the pads too Can't yet comment on longevity as have only been using for a month or two but will update accordingly Definitely worth the money for any switch owner, especially those after a console-like controller experience for shooters

These feel so comfortable in your hands, and it makes playing games so much easier, especially people with bigger hands.

I love these controllers! I have now had them for two years after going through 3 pairs of switch controllers, and these are the only ones I have tried which haven't ended the 12 month mark with catastrophic stick drift. The larger size makes them comfortable to hold, and I like having the extra buttons on the back. The only drawback is the lack of motion controls as they will only work when connected to the nintendo switch, but if you don't play connected to the docking station very often then they are great! Another important note if you're concerned about the patterns on the shells wearing off - they are not printed on. The artwork *is* the plastic itself which prevents it from being damaged through normal use! Cannot stress how great they are and I'm planning to buy another set in the future!

One day I was playing my switch on the bus when my hand started hurting so I got off the bus and went to a Cex where I sold my joycons for £50 and with that money I bought these for 40. Even though there’s no wireless mode, gyro or motion sensor I don’t care cause the comfort is literally perfect and I love the back buttons. Even if I saw it for £90 I would still buy it it’s so comfortable and light that I could hold it for hours with zero effort or pain. I even checked and there the same weight as normal joy cons. It’s like the pro controller just in handheld. If there was a 6th star I would have clicked it

In my own experience, this makes a huge difference when playing in handheld mode. D-pad feels good (unlike other HORI D-pads which feel somewhat mushy IMO), analogue sticks feel great, the buttons feel good to press and the turbo buttons are a nice addition to the package. The third shoulder buttons are an added bonus which helps out in some games. (Be sure to turn on assign mode for this) Not ever going back to the stock joy-cons, not even the d-pad joy-con. Awesome product. Totally recommended!

Das Spielen unterwegs mit diesem Controller ist ein gänzlich anderes Erlebnis. So macht es Spaß. Präzise Steuerung, angenehm zu halten. Leider kein Rumble und keine Bewegungssteuerung, aber dennoch 5 Sterne, weil sehr gut verarbeitet und präzise. Ich habe einige andere ausgetestet, weil ich Geld sparen wollte, aber alle anderen waren kein Vergleich zu diesem Controller, meist eine viel zu große Deadzone oder schlecht verarbeitet, doch hier passt einfach alles. Topp! Fast wie der Pro Controller, nur für unterwegs!

These controllers are a great size and fit the hands very well. They also fit the consol very snugly with no slop or play all the bottoms work properly. The turbo button works well for controller sensitivity. The added button underneath can be assigned to any button on the same side and works as it should. The only negative is the buttons although work well are not very tactial. More soft to push rather than clickly. Over all great and would recommend.

J'ai acheté cet objet car mes joy-cons ne marchaient plus. Au final cet objet est trop bien ! La fonction turbo apporte un avantage considérable. Les gâchettes configurables sont un raccourci simple en plein jeu. Sa prise en main est juste incroyable et beaucoup plus confort que les joy-cons. Je recommande ce produit à tous les gamers sur switch.

Precis vad jag ville ha! Skönare kontroller till min Switch och nu ligger den betydligt bättre i händerna.
