Hori Split Pad Pro (Black) for Nintendo Switch (Nintendo Switch)

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 :)

What an absolute game changer these Hori Split pad pro controllers are! I have fairly large hands so I could never play my Nintendo Switch for long as I found it became uncomfortable after a short period of time. I purchased these and after switching the controls out it was immediately better. They are far more comfortable, the buttons and triggers are nice, tight and accurate (not cheap rubbish) easy to install and use and I can now play for hours in comfort. To accommodate the extra size these controllers give the Switch, I purchased a iofeiwak hard shell case (Amazon) to store it in and it accommodates it perfectly. I genuinely highly recommend these controllers for any Nintendo Switch user.

Perfect for bigger hands when using Switch in handheld mode (joy-cons are way too small and buttons too cramped), the only negative is the lack of NFC for Amiibo support.

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

These joy con replacements have made a normally slightly uncomfortable handheld experience into an almost perfect gaming setup.I give them 9/10.If they had rumble and gyro they'd be absolutely perfect.

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 thumbsticksFeels 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 gamesLoads 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 tooCan't yet comment on longevity as have only been using for a month or two but will update accordinglyDefinitely worth the money for any switch owner, especially those after a console-like controller experience for shooters

It's really not that comfortable overall. I'm not a fan of the way the trigger buttons feel. They're curved and feel as if they move out rather than inwards when pulled. If they were better, I would have given it an extra star.It's pretty uncomfortable to use the buttons on the back.Keep in mind no motion control or rumble which you might think you dont mind but later miss.The pros are it can still work with the dock and the size is an improvement. Most of the face buttons feel nice and the joy sticks are good.

These controllers are good - really comfortable for longer play sessions in handheld. I do miss the gyro feature of the standard joy-cons, but it’s not a dealbreaker. The buttons are all sturdy and feel well-made and the joysticks are full-size and much more comfortable. I haven’t set up the extra buttons on the back, but it’s a nice addition if you’re interested in mapping extra features.
